The Relationship between Selected Inflammation and Oxidative Stress Biomarkers and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) Value in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes Co-Existing with Early Microvascular Complications.

Recent years have confirmed the importance of oxidative stress and biomarkers of inflammation in estimating the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and explaining not fully understood pathogenesis of diabetic macroangiopathy. We aimed to analyze the relation between the intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid arteries and the occurrence of classical cardiovascular risk factors, together with the newly proposed biomarkers of CVD risk (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), myeloperoxidase (MPO), adiponectin, N-terminal-pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and vitamin D) in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D) recognized in screening tests to present early stages of microvascular complications (VC). The study group consisted of 50 adolescents and young adults with T1D, mean age 17.

Does Hashimoto's Thyroiditis Increase the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Young Type 1 Diabetic Patients?

Immunological and hormonal disorders have undoubted influence on the development of atherosclerotic process. Autoimmune diseases accompanying type 1 diabetes (T1D) may additionally accelerate atherosclerosis progression and increase the risk of cardiovascular events in the future. The influence of subclinical hypothyroidism on the cardiovascular system, in particular, has recently aroused great interest.

Symptomatic hyponatremia during the diabetic ketoacidosis in 5 years old child with new onset diabetes - own experience.

Hyponatremia is the one of the most common electrolyte abnormality in the clinical practice and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Decreased serum sodium levels are occasionally observed in patients with diabetes mellitus, especially in those, who pre-sent with the diabetic ketoacidosis. It can develop at the each stage of a treatment, as a complication of hyperglycemia and intensity of the therapy, but also the other underlying causes should be consider.

Factors associated with preservation of C-peptide levels at the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.

Aims: The level of C-peptide can identify individuals most likely to respond to immune interventions carried out to prevent pancreatic β-cell damage. The aim of the study was to evaluate factors associated with C-peptide levels at type 1 diabetes (T1D) diagnosis.

Methods: This study included 1098 children aged 2-17 with newly recognized T1D.

Seasonal Variation in Month of Diagnosis of Polish Children with Type 1 Diabetes - A Multicenter Study.

Aim: The seasonal variation of incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) theory supports the hypothesis that environmental factors play a role in the onset of the disease. The aim of this study is to assess seasonality of month of diagnosis in children with T1D in Poland.

Material And Methods: the study group consisted of 2174 children from eastern and central Poland diagnosed with T1D between 2010 and 2014.

High incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes among Polish children aged 10-12 and under 5 years of age: A multicenter study.

Aim: Despite its characteristic symptoms, type 1 diabetes (T1D) is still diagnosed late causing the development of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of DKA and factors associated with the development of acidosis at T1D recognition in Polish children aged 0-17.

Methods: The study population consisted of 2100 children with newly diagnosed T1D in the years 2010-2014 in 7 hospitals in eastern and central Poland.

[Carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) in young type 1 diabetic patients in relation to comorbid additional autoimmune diseases and microvascular complications].

Introduction: Atherosclerosis, which is the cause of diseases of the cardiovascular system, and frequent and serious complications of type 1 diabetes (T1DM), has an autoimmune origin. Some diseases of this type, as rheumatoid arthritis, but also Hashimoto thyroiditis or celiac disease are associated with a higher incidence of heart disease. So far no studies evaluated the preclinical phase of development of atherosclerosis (cIMT) in young patients with T1DM and the comorbid additional autoimmune diseases.

[Estimation of the severity of metabolic disorders in children with newly diagnosed insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM)].

The objective of this study was to estimate the severity of metabolic disorders at onset in children with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Biochemical results taken at onset of IDDM were analysed in 158 children on their admission. Metabolic acidosis was found in 37.
