Epidemiological parameters and monitoring of analysis of treatment of children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus in insulin pump therapy with modified educational program.

Objective: Aim: The aim of the present published work is efficacy evaluation of the modified educational program in achieving the target levels of glycemia in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus in pump insulin therapy in Almaty..

Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: This study involved 125 children and adolescents with type 1 DM and evaluated the effectiveness of a modified educational program at the School of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Prevalence of Impaired Fasting Glucose and Type 2 Diabetes in Kazakhstan: Findings From Large Study.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a serious public health problem. A large proportion of patients with T2DM are unaware of their condition. People with undiagnosed T2DM are at a greater risk of developing complications, whereas prediabetes has an elevated risk of becoming T2DM.

Seroprevalence and risk factors for hepatitis B and hepatitis C in three large regions of Kazakhstan.

Background & Aims: Kazakhstan has implemented comprehensive programs to reduce the incidence of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C. This study aims to assess seroprevalence and risk factors for HBsAg and anti-HCV positivity in three large regions of Kazakhstan.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in three regions geographically remote from each other.

[Analysis of Relationship Between Parameters of Arterial Stiffness and Lipid Profile in Patients With Metabolic Syndrome].

Aim: to elucidate relationships between parameters of arterial stiffness (carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity [cfPWV] and cardio-ankle vascular index [CAVI]) and standard lipid profile parameters in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS).

Materials: We included in this study 100 subjects (45 men, 55 women) aged 40-70 (mean 56.54±8.

[Clinical and demographic features of patients with stroke and atrial fibrillation].

Background: Stroke takes the second place among all causes for cardiovascular death and the first place in mortality and disability among other nervous system diseases. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is presently is a commonly recognized, independent risk factor for ischemic stroke, which fivefold increases the risk of an unfavorable outcome. Prevention of stroke is a complicated medical and social challenge.

Kazakhstan: coronary and structural heart interventions from 2010 to 2015.

This paper presents data on the nascence and development of the interventional cardiology service in Kazakhstan. It provides details of the structure of the Kazakhstan interventional cardiology service, staff training, the number of coronary and structural heart interventions for the period of 2010-2015, as well as the peculiarities of the capitation payment method. The number of coronary interventions is increasing year by year, though the number of intracoronary imaging techniques and intracoronary flow/pressure techniques remains inadequate.

Ethnic differences in all-cause mortality rates in Kazakhstan.

Objectives: This article explores mortality rates in Kazakhstan by ethnic group and some of the potential lifestyle factors that might help to explain the observed differences on a population level.

Study Design: Repeated cross-sectional data analysis.

Methods: We calculated age-standardized mortality rates from all causes by ethnic group, gender and age for 2009-2012.

Regional differences in cardiovascular mortality in Kazakhstan: further evidence for the 'Russian mortality paradox'?

Background: The role of alcohol consumption in patterns of CVD mortality in Central Asia is still largely unexplored. Previous research in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan has found that ethnic Russians have higher adult mortality rates than native ethnic groups, despite their higher socio-economic status. This has been termed the 'Russian mortality paradox'.

Apolipoprotein Gene Polymorphisms (APOB, APOC111, APOE) in the Development of Coronary Heart Disease in Ethnic Groups of Kazakhstan.

Background: Previous Analysis of polymorphism of genes associated with the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) reveals that the frequency distribution of genotypes and alleles depends on the ethnic characteristics of the populations under study. Further impetus is derived from the well -established links between alcoholism (high prevalence in Kazakhstan region) and cardiovascular disorders.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine a number of apolipoprotein gene polymorphisms and correlate these alleles with changes of lipid profile in CHD patients of Kazakh and Uyghur nationalities.
