The global prevalence of dementia has been estimated to be as high as 24 million, and is predicted to double every 20 years until at least 2040. As the population worldwide continues to age, the number of individuals at risk will also increase, particularly among the very old. Alzheimer disease is the leading cause of dementia beginning with impaired memory. The neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer disease include diffuse and neuritic extracellular amyloid plaques in brain that are frequently surrounded by dystrophic neurites and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles. The etiology of Alzheimer disease remains unclear, but it is likely to be the result of both genetic and environmental factors. In this review we discuss the prevalence and incidence rates, the established environmental risk factors, and the protective factors, and briefly review genetic variants predisposing to disease.

Chronic condition management in general practice is projected to account for 50% of all consultations by 2051. General practices under present workforce conditions will be unable to meet this demand. Nurse led collaborative care models of chronic disease management have been successful overseas and are proposed as one solution. This article provides an interim report on a prospective randomised trial to investigate the acceptability, cost effectiveness and feasibility of a nurse led model of care for chronic conditions in Australian general practice. A qualitative study focused on the impact of this model of care through the perceptions of practice staff from one urban and one regional practice in Queensland, and one Victorian rural practice. Primary benefits of the collaborative care model focused on increased efficiency and communication between practice staff and patients. The increased degree of patient self responsibility was noted by all and highlights the motivational aspect ...

To check the reliability of the commonly used neurological scoring systems taking the nerve conduction studies as the reference. Diagnosed diabetics (n=60) were selected by purposive sampi ng Detection and grading of neuropathy were done according to Diabetic Neuropathy Symptom Score (DrNS), modified Neuropathy Symptom Score (NSS), Diabetic Neuropathy Examination (DNE) and modified Neuropathy Disability Score (NDS). For the nerve conduction studies, amplitudes, velocities and latencies of minimum two (Sural, Peroneal) and maximum six, i.e., three sensory (Sural, Ulnar, Median) and three motor (Peroneal, Ulnar, Tibial) nerves were checked. If the patient had 2 or more than two abnormal findings in any of the nerve he was labeled to have peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. Later the sensitivity, specificity and diagnostic efficacy of each neurological score was checked taking nerve conduction studies as the gold standard. Taking the NCS as gold standard DNS, DNE, NSS and NDS had 64.1%...

The case of a patient with emphysematous cystitis who presented with complaints of lower abdominal pain, dysuria, and pneumaturia is presented. The presenting symptoms, differential diagnosis, and radiographic and cystoscopic appearances of emphysematous cystitis, a rare complication of lower urinary tract infection occurring almost exclusively in diabetics, are reviewed. Treatment consists of urinary drainage, prompt initiation of antibiotic therapy, and strict glucose control. The prognosis usually is excellent.

The Utrecht Diabetes Project (UDP) is a shared-care project providing remote diabetologist support for 85 GPs. In the UDP all examinations, performed by the GP, follow standardized procedures, results being sent to the diabetologist. Laboratory results are sent automatically to both GP and diabetologist. To study the composition of the UDP population; completeness of data recording; changes in biochemical variables of UDP patients; and GPs' motives for enrolling them. Data were extracted from the records of 19 GPs and a questionnaire was sent to all UDP GPs. Of 770 patients with Type 2 diabetes, 44% were treated with UDP support, 29% by their GPs alone, and 27% at out-patient clinics. The 336 UDP patients were representative of all UDP patients. Patients older than 75 years were the greater part of those treated by GPs alone; out-patient clinics had more patients with diabetes > 10 years or with complications. UDP patients' records were the most complete. Diabetes regulation, lipid levels and diastolic blood pressure in the UDP patients improved significantly after inclusion in the UDP. GPs tend to seek UDP aid especially for patients who are young, or of recent onset, at risk of macrovascular complications, or needing insulin. Standardized data transfer between GP, diabetologist and laboratory might establish an effective infrastructure for shared diabetes care. Diabet. Med. 18, 459-463 (2001)

Adiponectin has been associated with common metabolic disorders. The current study was conducted to measure and compare levels of adiponectin with obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and gender in Punjabi subjects from Faisalabad, Pakistan. Serum adiponectin was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) along with measurements of some clinically important analytes (fasting blood glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides) as well as body mass index (BMI) in 80 subjects. The main results were significantly (p < 0.003) decreased serum adiponectin level in T2DM patients (n = 40) compared to non-diabetic controls (n = 40). In obese subjects, (n = 40) also, there was a decrease, but it was not significant. Adiponectin levels in the subgroups of diabetic and obese patients were also observed, but no significant gender-based differences were found.

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of 10 weeks of resistance or treadmill exercises on glycemic indices levels prior to and immediately following exercise in adults with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHOD: Twenty inactive subjects (mean age 53.5 years) with type 2 diabetes enrolled in the study. Baseline HbA1c, blood glucose levels, heart

Diabetes mellitus type 1 is a form of diabetes mellitus that results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. The current gold standard therapy for pancreas transplantation has limitations because of the long list of waiting patients and the limited supply of donor pancreas. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a relatively new potential therapy in various fields, have already made their mark in the young field of regenerative medicine. Recent studies have shown that the implantation of MSCs decreases glucose levels through paracrine influences rather than through direct transdifferentiation into insulin-producing cells. Therefore, these cells may use pro-angiogenic and immunomodulatory effects to control diabetes following the cotransplantation with pancreatic islets. In this review, we present and discuss new approaches of using MSCs in the treatment of diabetes mellitus type 1.

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease with serious health consequences. The association between diabetes and periodontal disease is well documented. However, the progression and healing of endodontic infections in diabetic patients has not been adequately studied. In this review, diabetes mellitus is explored as a potential modulating factor of endodontic pathosis. Recent data on the relationship between the clinical presentation of pulpal and periradicular disease, as well as the outcome of endodontic treatment in diabetic and nondiabetic patients, are presented. Diabetics who present for endodontic treatment, particularly those with periradicular pathosis, may have increased perioperative symptoms. Cases with preoperative periradicular lesions are less likely to be determined successful two years or longer postoperatively if the patient reports a history of diabetes. Studies examining the pathogenesis of periradicular lesions in mouse models with uncontrolled type 1 diabetes sugg...

Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare, long-term complication of poorly controlled diabetes (typically of type I). DMI was first described in 1965 and more than 100 cases have been reported thereafter in the English literature. Usually, there is a coexistence with concomitant nephropathy, neuropathy, and retinopathy. The etiology remains uncertain, but appears to be attributable to diabetic microangiopathy and hypercoagulability and is believed that hypoxia-reperfusion injury is involved. DMI presents with sudden onset of pain associated with a tender mass in the thigh in most instances. The diagnosis is based on magnetic resonance imaging, which is not specific but highly indicative. Treatment is conservative with relapses occurring in 50% of the patients, but not necessarily in the same muscle group. We describe a case of DMI that occurred 4 months after simultaneous kidney and pancreas transplantation in one patient with type I diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease.

Qualitative research on self-management for people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has typically reported one-off retrospective accounts of individuals' strategies. The aim of this research was to identify the ways in which self-management strategies are perceived by people with T2DM as being either supportive or unsupportive over time, by using qualitative findings from both longitudinal intervention studies and usual care.
