Unlabelled: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a clinical syndrome associated with deficiency of insulin secretion or action. It is considered one of the largest emerging threats to health in the 21st century. Besides the classical complications of the disease, DM has been associated with reduced response of T cells, neutrophil function, and disorders of humoral immunity. Consequently, DM increases the susceptibility to infections, both the most common ones as well as those that almost always affect only people with DM (e.g. rhinocerebral mucormycosis). The present study was done with an objective to study the infections in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Material: The study was conducted in Padmashri DY Patil Hospital and Research centre, Pimpri, Pune from Sept 2020 to Aug 2021. A total of 100 patients of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were included and their infections associated with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were studied.
Observation: Infections associated with Diabetes Mellitus were Urinary Tract Infections, Dental caries, Skin infections like Tinea, Carbuncle and furuncle, Pneumonia, Emphysematous pyelonephritis, Diabetic foot.
Conclusion: The results of present study showed that many patients with Diabetes Mellitus is associated with urinary tract infections. This was corresponding with studies conducted by Ludwig E. The most common infections associated with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus were Urinary Tract Infections, Skin infections, Pneumonia, Emphysematous pyelonephritis, Diabetic foot.

Mikrobiota układu pokarmowego jest nieodzownym elementem właściwego funkcjonowania organizmu człowieka, bowiem drobnoustroje jelitowe i ich metabolity silnie wpływają na metabolizm gospodarza i funkcje odpornościowe, jak również przyczyniają się do biosyntezy witamin, produkcji hormonów jelitowych, utrzymania integralności bariery jelitowej i ochrony przed patogenami, a także trawienia i wchłaniania składników odżywczych. Coraz częściej podkreśla się istnienie zależności pomiędzy zaburzeniami składu mikrobioty jelit a pojawianiem się chorób metabolicznych, tj. otyłości czy cukrzycy typu 2.

People with HIV (PWH) have an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those without HIV. This study aimed to investigate the relative serum expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) associated with arterial stiffness, a significant marker of cardiovascular disease. A total of 36 male PWH and 36 people without HIV, matched for age, body mass index, pack years, and dyslipidemia, were included in the study.

Background/objectives: Urinary tract infections (UTI) represent a highly frequent and debilitating disease. Immunoactive prophylaxis, such as the polyvalent bacterial whole-cell-based sublingual vaccine MV140, have been developed to avoid antibiotic use. However, the effectiveness of this tool in the Portuguese population is still unknown.

Diabetes is known to reduce blood circulation in capillaries and arterioles; however, no devices can easily measure this on a daily basis. In this study, we developed a tool for measuring finger photoplethysmograms using green light and near-infrared LEDs. Thereafter, photoplethysmography was conducted on 25 inpatients/outpatients with diabetes and 21 adult males and females who had not been diagnosed with or treated for diabetes, hypertension, or cardiovascular disease (control group).
