Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between subclinical left ventricular dysfunction and factors such as microvascular complications, uncontrolled blood sugar levels, duration of diabetes, and age among individuals with type 2 diabetes.
- It analyzed data from 159 asymptomatic patients, revealing that nearly half had poor blood sugar control and reduced heart function, with higher prevalence of kidney, nerve, and eye issues in patients with worse heart function.
- The findings suggest a connection between heart and microvascular complications, but further research is needed to fully understand these relationships and their significance in clinical practice.
Background And Purpose: Our aim was to analyze factors that influence transfusion requirements in surgical patients in order to achieve a transfusion-saving strategy.
Methods: Data was collected from patient's files at the Notre Dame de Secours-Jbeil University Hospital Center between January 2017 and June 2019. Selection was made for 400 patients who had undergone surgery and required transfusion.
Background: The effects of COVID-19 on the organism are still being investigated, especially after the transformation of this virus from a respiratory disease in its first appearance to a multi-organ disease that can affect nearly all systems and organs including the endocrinological system. The objective of the study was to find an association between COVID-19 infection and new onset type 2 diabetes in Lebanese adults.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study (2019-2022) included 200 subjects, 100 cases with new onset diabetes and 100 controls recruited from endocrinology clinics in rural and suburban located regions of Lebanon.
