Inflammatory Mechanisms of Diabetes and Its Vascular Complications.

The main cause of death in patients with type 2 DM is cardiovascular complications resulting from the progression of atherosclerosis. The pathophysiology of the association between diabetes and its vascular complications is complex and multifactorial and closely related to the toxic effects of hyperglycemia that causes increased generation of reactive oxygen species and promotes the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Subsequent oxidative stress and inflammation are major factors of the progression of type 2 DM and its vascular complications.

[Hemodynamic features in bronchial asthma concurrent with hypertensive disease].

Aim: To study the cardiorespiratory system, central and intracardiac hemodynamics.

Materials And Methods: 274 patients with bronchial asthma (BA), including 117 patients with this condition concurrent with hypertensive disease (HD) during traditional medical treatment were examined.

Results: The impact of concomitant HD on the pattern of performance of the cardiovascular system and the development of the cardiac structure in these patients was evaluated.

[Effects of theopek and saltos on cardiorespiratory system in bronchial asthma].

The study of cardiorespiratory system function in 244 BA patients showed how to prognosticate unfavorable effects of different course programs including long-acting broncholytics (teopek and saltos) on cardiovascular system and how to optimize therapeutic policy.
