This study was undertaken to evaluate the prevalence of insulin resistance (IR) and associated factors in nondiabetic, nonobese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who had not yet received dialysis therapy. A group of 89 consecutive patients (42 male, 47 female) who were hospitalized in the Nephrology Clinic at Dicle University, had recently been diagnosed with CKD, and had not yet been treated with dialysis were enrolled in the study, as was a control group of 30 healthy volunteers. Diabetic and obese patients were excluded. IR was determined by the homeostasis model assessment of IR (HOMA-IR) formula. Blood samples were taken after an overnight fasting period to establish serum glucose, insulin, C-peptide, albumin, lipid profile, hematocrit, bicarbonate, and intact parathormone (iPTH) levels. The mean age of patients was 48.7+/-19.7 y (men, 49.5+/-21.5 y; women, 48.1+/-18.0 y); other mean values were as follows: glucose, 98.4+/-20.6 mg/dL; insulin, 16.7+/-16.2 microU/mL; HOMA-IR, 5.46+/-1.14; hemoglobin (Hgb), 8.7+/-1.6 g/dL; calcium-phosphorus product (Ca x P), 52.2+/-16.2 mg2/dL2; iPTH, 377.7+/-258.1 pg/mL, and bicarbonate (HCO3), 16.6+/-5.3 mEq/L. HOMA-IR was significantly higher in patients with stage 4 CKD than in controls (P<.001); serum levels of urea, creatinine clearance (CrCl), C-reactive protein (CRP), albumin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), Hgb, HCO3, Ca x P, and iPTH were found to be associated with HOMA-IR when a comparison was made with the control group. According to correlation analyses of possible risk factors in patients with IR, positive correlations with age, body mass index, CRP, Ca x P product, and iPTH, and negative correlations with albumin, CrCl, Hgb, and HDL-C were found. A high percentage of IR was found, and this percentage increased as glomerular filtration rate decreased in patients with stage 4 CKD. In addition, a correlation was found between IR and parameters such as age, body mass index, CRP, Ca x P, iPTH, albumin, CrCl, Hgb, and HDL-C.

Objective: Conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of behavioural and psychological interventions for managing paediatric obesity.

Methods: Eligible studies, published between 1985 and 2022, included 0 to 18 year olds with outcomes reported ≥3 months post-baseline, including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), cardiometabolic and anthropometric outcomes, and adverse events (AEs). We pooled data using a random effects model and assessed certainty of evidence (CoE) related to minimally important difference estimates for outcomes using GRADE.

E-Cadherin-Mediated Cell-Cell Adhesion and Invasive Lobular Breast Cancer.

E-cadherin is a transmembrane protein and central component of adherens junctions (AJs). The extracellular domain of E-cadherin forms homotypic interactions with E-cadherin on adjacent cells, facilitating the formation of cell-cell adhesions, known as AJs, between neighbouring cells. The intracellular domain of E-cadherin interacts with α-, β- and p120-catenins, linking the AJs to the actin cytoskeleton.

The association between insulin resistance and increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) has rarely been investigated. Our study aimed to investigate the association between the triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein (TG/HDL) ratio (which represents insulin resistance), and the incidence risk of PD in the general population. This study was conducted using data from the National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort Database of South Korea (2002-2019).
