Background: High levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) have been associated with Coronary Vascular Diseases (CVD) in diabetic patients. Recent studies have reported no association between elevated glycated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) among women without diabetes. There are many controversial studies on topics such as "Glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA(1c)) have been associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in the non-diabetic patients". Therefore, we planned this study.
Methods: The present study was conducted on 50 age matched controls and 50 clinically diagnosed non-diabetic CVD patients of either gender. The study included 50 patients with myocardial infarction (MI) admitted to the ICCU ward of J.L.N. Medical College and Hospital, Ajmer (Rajasthan). The following information was recorded from admission sheets of non-diabetic CVD patients of either gender: history of diabetes, hypertension, and cigarette smoking; demographic indices; coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus treatment; serum cholesterol; serum triglycerides (TG); high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C); fasting and non-fasting blood glucose levels and Glycated haemoglobin levels (HbA(1c)). Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1c)) was measured by latex agglutination inhibition assay.
Results And Conclusions: The HbA(1c) levels in healthy controls (n = 50) and non-diabetic CVD subjects (n = 50) observed were 4.32 +/- 0.34% and 5.80 +/- 0.20%, respectively. HbA(1c) levels in these subjects were significantly higher than controls (p < 0.001). The HbA(1c) levels in non-diabetic CVD patients are higher in comparison to controls.

To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified termination hypertension dietary therapy program by comparing and analyzing the improvement of blood pressure, blood lipids and blood glucose in hypertensive patients who received copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified termination hypertension dietary therapy intervention. We selected 160 cases of hypertensive patients from July 2022 to March 2024 for the study. They were divided into 80 cases in the comparison group and 80 cases in the observation group according to whether or not they underwent copper bianstone scraping combined with Chinese modified dietary therapy for termination of hypertension.

Background: Chronic nonhealing neuropathic foot ulcers affect approximately 15% to 30% of patients with diabetes mellitus and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Although current strategies to address these chronic wounds include a multifactorial approach, clinical outcomes remain poor and warrant improvement. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from autologous or allogeneic blood, is an emerging regenerative product that aims to serve as an adjuvant to standard diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) treatment.

Background: Although the number of studies reporting war-induced effects on the health of the Ukrainian population has been growing, there are still little data on assessing patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) during the war. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of war on T2D patients' health to define key risk factors promoting disease progression.
Methods: A survey covering various aspects of T2D patients' experience and glycemic control data was conducted from June 2022 to February 2024.

Aim: Diabetes mellitus is a prevalent disease in the Portuguese population and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Its proper therapeutic management is multifactorial, with lifestyle habits having a major impact. Studies show that poorer metabolic control is associated with deficient knowledge related to diabetes, lower self-efficacy, and limited patient empowerment.
