Prevalence Of Anemia In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes, El-Saied Shaheen
Prevalence Of Anemia In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes, El-Saied Shaheen
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Background Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a high prevalence worldwide. It leads to various complications, including microvascular and macrovascular complications. The nephropathy may undermine the renal production of erythropoietin, positively contributing to an increased anemia framework. The inflammatory situation created by kidney disease also interferes with intestinal iron absorption. Therefore, diabetic patients with kidney disease have higher risk for developing anemia. Aim The aim of this work was to determine the prevalence and various types of anemia in patients with type 2 DM. Patients and methods After obtaining informed written consent, all diabetics as well as control individuals were subjected to …

Role Of Sclerostin, Fibroblast Growth Factor-23, And Klotho In Hemodialysis Patients, Ahmed Hassan, Azza A. I. Elmenyawi
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Introduction Chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorder leads to decreasing bone health. Sclerostin is produced by osteocytes similar to fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and might upregulate the FGF-23 production by the osteocyte. FGF-23 may act as a mineralization inhibitor. Klotho serves as an obligate coreceptor for the FGF-23 and represents a marker of chronic kidney disease–mineral bone disorder. Aim We examined the association between serum sclerostin, FGF-23, Klotho, parathyroid hormone, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and phosphorus levels in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Patients and methods A total of 63 HD patients in the National Institute of Urology and Nephrology and 20 controls …

The Relationship Between Presbycusis And Vestibular Activity, Gehan M. S. Abd El-Salam
Journal of Medicine in Scientific Research
Introduction Presbycusis or age-related sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is a complex disorder that results in a slow deterioration in auditory function. A considerably high number of these patients with presbycusis or age-related SNHL also experience dizziness and related vestibular symptoms. Although auditory and vestibular systems are distinct, they work just alike. So, there is a great relation among their functions. Once one is stimulated, the other experiences changes as well. Participants and methods This study comprised 40 adult patients (50–75 years) without any vestibular symptoms or diagnosed vestibular diseases. Audiological status was measured with auditory brainstem response (ABR). The vestibular …
