Association between diabetes mellitus and incidence and case ‐fatality after stroke due to intracerebral haemorrhage: a retrospective population‐based cohort study
Abstract We investigated the associations between types of diabetes and ICH incidence and case‐fatality after ICH, in a retrospective cohort study of people aged 40–89 years in Scotland 2004–2013 using linkage of population‐based records of diagnosed diabetes, hospital discharges and deaths. We calculated ICH incidence and 30‐day case‐fatality after hospital admission for ICH and their relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes compared to people without diabetes adjusting for age, sex and socio‐economic status (SES). There were 77, 1275 and 9778 inciden...

Morbidity and Causes of Death in Patients with Cutaneous T-cell Lymphoma in Finland.
Abstract Cutaneous T-cell lymphomas (CTCL), especially mycosis fungoides, can be considered as a state of longstanding low-grade systemic inflammation. Many studies have focused on secondary cancers with CTCL, but information about comorbidities is limited. A total of 144 patients with CTCL at Helsinki University Central Hospital during 2005 to 2015 were studied to determine associated comorbidities and causes of death in this cohort. Compared with an age-standardized control population, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus was increased among patients with CTCL with no link to obesity. Patients with CTCL ha...

Effect of statin use on clinical outcomes in ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation
The objective of this study was to clarify whether statin therapy can influence the prognosis in recent ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation. We identified ischemic stroke patients with atrial fibrillation between 2001 and 2011 from Taiwan National Health Insurance Database. Patients not treated with statins during the first 90 days after the index stroke were matched to patients treated with statins in the first 90 days in a 2:1 ratio on the basis of age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, estimated National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, use of anticoagulant, an...

Left atrial appendage closure in a patient with left atrial appendage thrombus using a novel fish ball technique
We report on a 47-year-old (body-mass-index 24, 8), male patient who was scheduled for percutaneous left atrial appendage (LAA) closure at our hospital. In this patient permanent atrial fibrillation was known since 2010 with a CHA2DS2-Vasc-score of 3, because of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus type II and coronary heart disease). The Hasbled-score was 4, because of arterial hypertension, bleeding and stroke in his history and labile INR values under anticoagulation with warfarin therapy.

Poststroke Glycemic Variability Increased Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in Diabetic Patients
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a well-known cause of coronary artery disease,(Klein, 1995; Turner et al., 1998) stroke(Lehto et al., 1996) and peripheral artery disease, and hyperglycemia due to poor glycemic control is strongly associated with diabetic complications.(Stratton et al., 2000) Besides, as time goes on, diabetes is accompanied by greater diurnal variation of serum glucose.(Egi et al., 2007) Glycemic variability seems to have more deleterious effects than sustained hyperglycemia on the development of diabetic complications.(Ceriello et al., 2008; Monnier et al., 2006; Su et al., 2011) The wide glycemic variability...

Diabetic retinopathy screening: global and local perspective.
Abstract Diabetes mellitus has become a global epidemic. It causes significant macrovascular complications such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and stroke; as well as microvascular complications such as retinopathy, nephropathy, and neuropathy. Diabetic retinopathy is known to be the leading cause of blindness in the working-age population and may be asymptomatic until vision loss occurs. Screening for diabetic retinopathy has been shown to reduce blindness by timely detection and effective laser treatment. Diabetic retinopathy screening is being done worldwide either as a national screening...

The Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Austrians Disease Management Program in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - A Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study
by Regina Riedl, Martin Robausch, Andrea Berghold AimTo evaluate the effectiveness of the Austrian Disease Management Program (DMP) ‘Therapie aktiv—Diabetes im Griff’ for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus concerning patient-relevant outcomes (mortality, myocardial infarction and stroke) and costs. MethodsBased on routine health insurance data, we conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study using a propensity score (PS) matched control group design. The DMP-group consists of participants enrolled in the program during 2008 and 2009 (n = 7181). Out of 208.532 patients with no participation in the DMP u...

From Conference To Clinic: The Longest Yard On Nutrition
The contrast between science and clinical practice can be so stark that it is shocking. I just returned from Washington, D.C. and the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine sponsored by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine and the Georgetown University School of Medicine. The first patient I saw in my preventive cardiology clinic after returning from the conference described his 25 year struggle with heart disease including 2 separate bypass operations, numerous stents, and activity severely limited by angina chest pain. He could barely walk to the mailbox without taking a nitro tablet under his ton...

Risk analysis of carotid stent from a population-based database in Taiwan
Abstract: Because stroke is the third leading disease that causes mortality in the world, the prevention of stroke from advanced carotid stenosis is an important issue. The carotid stent (CAS) is a less invasive to treat advanced carotid stenosis, but for high-risk patients it may cause some events after the procedure that reduces the benefit of stroke prevention. Because patients and their families have less information about risk of events after CAS and are easy concerned, this study calculates the individual probability of major adverse cardiovascular events including any stroke, myocardial infarction, or death after pr...

Diagnosed diabetes mellitus and in-hospital stroke mortality in a major sub-Saharan African urban medical unit
Stroke and diabetes are common disorders affecting 33 million and 415 million individuals worldwide respectively [1,2]. Mortality associated with both conditions is high [1,3]. Globally, 6% of deaths are caused by high blood glucose, and stroke accounts for 11.1% of deaths worldwide [1,3]. Stroke is one of the leading complications of diabetes. It is estimated that 12% of strokes are attributable to diabetes [4]. People with diabetes mellitus have more than double the risk of ischemic stroke after correcting for other factors.

Predictors of survival for patients with cancer after cryptogenic stroke
Abstract Patients with active cancer experience ischemic stroke via cryptogenic mechanisms, with cancer-associated hypercoagulability being considered a major contributor to such strokes. Despite the remarkably shortened survival of these patients, the clinical predictors of survival are poorly understood. We determined the clinical factors including D-dimer levels serving as the predictors of overall survival in these patients. Retrospective study was conducted on cancer patients who visited our hospital for acute ischemic stroke with cryptogenic mechanisms from April 2012 through November 2014. Demographics, cl...

Id: 64: reversible blindness associated with diabetic ketoacidosis: a rare combination
Discussion Sudden painless vision loss has a wide differential diagnosis and it is usually caused by ischemia at retinal, ocular or cortical level. No history of methanol ingestion or trauma, normal fundoscopy, normal MRI and rapid return of vision after correction of diabetic ketoacidosis strongly suggests that blindness was related to acidosis. Alcoholic ketoacidosis has been reported to cause transient reversible blindness in other case reports and correction of acidosis lead to reversal of blindness. Other rare causes of reversible blindness include posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, brain tumors, anterior i...
