Forty seven patients and 26 healthy subjects controls were followed up in the course of 8 years. Twenty fine from the diabetic patients were without vaso-active medication and 22--treated with various vaso-active drugs (Hydrosarpan 711, Eleparon, Radecol, Padutin, Trental, etc.). The clinical approach was made use of for the periodical controls as well as non invasive methods with 60 channel ECG "Hellige" apparatus, electronic device "Dopton" oscillograph "Gesenius--Keller", double rheograph "Shulfrid", tastotherm P-60 "Braun", contact skin thermography according to Trikoir. A complex of functional tests was also applied. A statistically significant decrease (P < 0,001) ws established to develop in 83,9 per cent of the diabetic patients without vaso-active medication versus 47.6 per cent of those with medication and 11.5 per cent in the controls. The lesions of the lower limbs get significantly ahead (P < 0.05) of the coronary lesions both in frequency and evolution. The existing so far pessimism about the therapeutic effect of diabetic macroangiopathy is admitted not to be fully reasonable.

Objective: This study investigates the relationship between the albumin-to-creatinine ratio and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in US adults using NHANES data from 2009 to 2016. This study assesses the predictive efficacy of the urinary serum albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR/SACR Ratio) against traditional biomarkers such as the serum albumin-to-creatinine ratio (SACR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) for evaluating DR risk. Additionally, the study explores the potential of these biomarkers, both individually and in combination with HbA1c, for early detection and risk stratification of DR.

Pharmacologic Management of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) in Older Adults.

Drugs Aging

January 2025

Program for the Care and Study of the Aging Heart, Department of Medicine, Weill Cornell Medicine, 420 East 70th St, New York, NY, LH-36510063, USA.

There are several pharmacologic agents that have been touted as guideline-directed medical therapy for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is important to recognize that older adults with HFpEF also contend with an increased risk for adverse effects from medications due to age-related changes in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, as well as the concurrence of geriatric conditions such as polypharmacy and frailty. With this review, we discuss the underlying evidence for the benefits of various treatments in HFpEF and incorporate key considerations for older adults, a subpopulation that may be at higher risk for adverse drug events.

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.

Progress report on multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.

Fam Cancer

January 2025

Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a germline pathogenic variant in the MEN1 tumor suppressor gene. Patients with MEN1 have a high risk for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with a penetrance of nearly 100%, pituitary adenomas (PitAd) in 40% of patients, and neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) of the pancreas (40% of patients), duodenum, lung, and thymus. Increased MEN1-related mortality is mainly related to duodenal-pancreatic and thymic NEN.
