There were examined in dynamics 724 patients, in whom complicated diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) was diagnosed, and in 71 (9.8%) of them the disease was complicated by sepsis. The state severity in a DFS patients have depended upon duration of purulent-necrotic process on the foot, in septic patients such dependence was not revealed. All the DFS patients without sepsis were operated on. In total 36 died (lethality 5.5%), in presence of sepsis - 42 (lethality 59.1%). The cause of sepsis in the patients, suffering complicated DFS, was predominantly a wet gangrene of the lower extremities. Among those, who were not operated on, 13 (30.9%) septic patients died, of them 5 – who refused operative intervention performance - died in first hours after admittance to hospital due to irreversible injury of organs and systems.

Male infertility is a common complication of diabetes. Diabetes leads to the decrease of zinc (Zn) content, which is a necessary trace element to maintain the normal structure and function of reproductive organs and spermatogenesis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of metformin combined with zinc on testis and sperm in diabetic mice.

Purpose Of Review: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, characterized by hepatic steatosis with at least one cardiometabolic risk factor. Patients with MASLD are at increased risk for the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Within this review article, we aimed to provide an update on the pathophysiology of MASLD, its interplay with cardiovascular disease, and current treatment strategies.

Introduction: Obesity and its complications are associated with high morbidity/mortality and a significant healthcare cost burden in Spain. It is therefore essential to know the potential clinical and economic benefits of reducing obesity. The objective of this study is to predict the decrease in rates of onset of potential complications associated with obesity and the cost savings after a weight loss of 15% over 10 years in Spain.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a progressive metabolic disorder that could be an underlying cause of long-term complications that increase mortality. The assessment of the probability of such events could be essential for mortality risk management. This work aimed to establish a framework for risk predictions of macrovascular complications (MVC) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with T2D, using real-world data from the Swedish National Diabetes Registry (NDR), in the presence of mortality as a competing risk.
