Diabetic nephropathy is categorized into stages so called microalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion greater than 20 g/min and less than or equal to 199 g/min) and macroalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion greater than or equal to 200 g/min). Hyperglycemia, increased blood pressure levels, and genetic predispositions are the main risk factors for the development of diabetic nephropathy. Nephropathy occurs as a result of an interaction between metabolic and hemodynamic factors, which activate diverse pathways that lead to renal damage. Growing evidence highlights the importance of inflammatory mechanisms in the development and progression of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, investigation into antiinflammatory strategies may offer new approaches of further effect.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116830603","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: We conducted a case-control study of 170 women with postpartum follow-up at Ningbo Li Huili Hospital from April 2019 to May 2020. According to the Oxford modified scale assessment(MOS), 94 and 76 women were included in the abnormal pelvic floor muscle tension group and control group, respectively. The two groups were trained by pelvic floor training. The changes in pelvic floor muscle tension before and after treatment in the two groups were analyzed to evaluate the effect of postpartum pelvic floor rehabilitation training. Results: The EMG value of the fast muscle contraction stage was negatively correlated with age and neonatal weight (P <0.05). The EMG values of slow muscle contraction and endurance were negatively correlated with weight gain during pregnancy but posi-tively correlated with age and BMI at delivery (P <0.05). The muscle tension of the abnormal muscle tension group was significantly improved and significantly higher than that of the control group (P <0.05) after the two groups received the intervention. Conclusion: The factors affecting postpartum pelvic floor muscle tension include age, delivery times, BMI at delivery and neonatal weight. Electrical stimulation combined with the biofeedback technique and Kegel exercises in the early postpartum period are effec-tive means to reduce the incidence of Pelvic floor disorders.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114101129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, for each 1% increase in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), there is a defined increased risk for CVDs. Also, the risk of developing CVDs for people with overt Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases by 2 to 3 times for men and 3 to 5 times for women compared to people without diabetes mellitus. Objectives: The article briefly discussed the meaning of cardiometabolic syndrome (CMS) as a medical phenomenon and the interconnecting role it plays in the pathogenesis of both CVDs and T2DM. It further highlighted the risk factors that are common in CMS and the evidence-based control measures for the syndrome. Methods: A review of related online full articles published from 2000 to 2021 was carried out from different scientific search engines, such as Google Scholar, PubMed, ResearchGate, Mendeley, Medline, and Academia. Results: CVDs and T2DM are closely related diseases, both appearing in the same spectrum of chronic diseases. They are closely linked by a similar pathophysiological phenomenon – the CMS. Any attempt to prevent or treat either CVDs or T2DM without due attention and consideration for the CMS, may not result in significant success, especially on a long-term basis. Conclusion: A better understanding and control of CMS and its risk factors are critical in the global efforts to prevent and control the rising global burden of both CVDs and T2DM, especially in developing countries.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115699088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

About 90% of people with diabetes around the world have type II diabetes. It is the main global health issues and burden as well with serious health complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower-extremity amputations. In middleand low-income countries the prevalence of diabetes has been rising more rapidly and needs great attention. The data from such case has been considered as recurrent event data and correlation between events should be taken into account in the analysis. Thus, the aim of the study was to identify risk factors for recurrence of diabetic patient’s recovery time in Benishangul-Gumuz hospitals (Assosa, Pawi and Wonbera hospital), Ethiopia. A retrospective study has been applied to obtain data on the recurrence of diabetic patient’s recovery time in Benishangul-Gumuz hospitals, Ethiopia, from September 1, 2019 to September 1, 2021. Kaplan-Meier plot (s) and Log-rank test were used for comparison of patient’s recovery time from diabetes; Standard Cox-PH and Shared Frailty model were used to identify factors significantly affect the recovery time of diabetic patients, using R version 4.1.1 for data analysis. Of the total diabetic patients in this study 61.87 % experienced recurrence of diabetic. The estimated median recovery time of diabetic patients was 6 months. The Shared Log-normal Frailty model was chosen to be best fit for this data set, based on Likelihood Cross-Validation value. Family history, other medical history and Systolic Blood Pressure of patients were significantly affected the recovery time of diabetic patient’s.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131118623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Higher Hb (odds ratio [OR] 0.981 [95% CI 0.973–0.988], p=0.000) was an independent protective factor for minor amputation. Conclusion: HbA1c, lower ankle brachial index level, and lower toe-brachial index level were all related with minor amputation. Wagner classification and diabetic peripheral angiopathy may represent a novel independent factor. In light of these concerns, early preventive and timely multidisciplinary assistance is critical to prevent diabetic foot minor amputation.","PeriodicalId":150671,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Diabetes & Metabolic Disorders","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122089202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
