Article Synopsis
- The study investigates Charcot neuroarthropathy (CN) in patients with diabetes, focusing on whether hyperglycemia decreases when an active phase of CN begins.
- Researchers analyzed Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in 103 diabetic patients before and during the active phase of CN, looking at changes over six months prior to diagnosis.
- Results indicated a significant decline in HbA1c levels from six months to three months before diagnosis and from six months to the onset of the active phase, suggesting a relationship between reduced blood sugar levels and the onset of CN.
Background: Neurologic complications after bariatric surgery are rare, but can have dramatic consequences. Little data are available on this topic.
Objectives: The aim of the Neurologic complications after BARiatric surgery (NEUROBAR) study was to define, which factors (anthropometric, nutritional, surgical, etc.
Aims: Altered pancreatic exocrine function can be observed in patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. In the present study, we evaluated the potential nutritional consequences of this dysfunction.
Methods: Serum concentrations of nutritional markers, including albumin, cholesterol, triacylglycerol, vitamins A, D, and E, were assessed in a cohort of 468 patients (137 with type 1 diabetes and 331 with type 2 diabetes), after exclusion of the patients with a CRP > 10 mg/l.
Adipose tissue is the most plastic tissue in all multicellular organisms, being constantly remodelled along with weight gain and weight loss. Expansion of adipose tissue must be accompanied by that of its vascularisation, through processes of angiogenesis, whereas weight loss is associated with the regression of blood vessels. Adipose tissue is thus among the tissues that have the highest angiogenic capacities.

The role of angiogenesis in the expandability of human adipose tissue is established. However, whether sc and omental WAT (scWAT and oWAT) angiogenesis could influence fat distribution and metabolic diseases is not known.
