Article Synopsis
- Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is a viral disease with a high fatality rate, characterized by symptoms like high fever and low blood platelet counts.
- A study in Gangwon Province, Korea from 2019 to 2021 found that out of 776 suspected cases, 62 were confirmed SFTS, with an average death rate of 19.4%.
- The research identified eight viral genotypes, with B2 (54.4%) and A (22.8%) being the most prevalent, and highlighted Hwacheon as the area with the highest incidence of the disease.
Background: Little is known about the relative contribution of long-term glycemic variability to the risk of macrovascular complications in type 2 diabetes. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of A1C variability on the progression of carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) in type 2 diabetic patients.
Methods: Among type 2 diabetic patients who visited Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital from March 2007 to September 2009, 120 patients who had carotid artery IMT measured annually and A1C checked every three months for at least one year were analyzed.
Background: We investigated the postoperative changes in visceral fat, as compared with subcutaneous fat in patients who underwent total gastrectomy (TG) or subtotal gastrectomy (STG).
Methods: Thirty-eight patients of gastric cancer who underwent abdominal and pelvic computed tomography scans before and after STG (n = 28) or TG (n = 10) were examined. The volumes of the total, visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissues (TAT, VAT and SAT, respectively) were calculated in each scan using the multislice method.
