The prevalence of malnutrition in this group is 15-20% at the time of diagnosis and 80-90% in patients with advanced disease. The different tumors show nutritional risks according to their location, their degree of involvement of the digestive tract and the type of cancer treatment established. It is a descriptive study of the prevalence of global risk of malnutrition. We included 898 patients with oncological pathology who attended to Nutrition and Diabetes Department of Maria Curie Municipal Oncology Hospital of Buenos Aires between June 2019 and June 2020. The objective was to analyze the prevalence of global risk of malnutrition through MUST in patients who attend their first nutritional medical control. An analysis of the score was carried out ina group of patients with high global risk of malnutrition, observing that 27.79% obtained the highest evaluation of score 4. 44% of the patients had breast cancer, followed by cervix, ovary and uterus cancer with 13% and then cancer of the mouth, oral/tongue in 12%. Malnutrition is a frequent complication in cancer patients and it is significantly associated with an increasement in morbidity/mortality according to some bibliography. The nutritional assessment of patient with cancer should begin at the time of diagnosis in order to initiate nutritional intervention early, reducing associated complications and improving the patient’s quality of life.","PeriodicalId":92021,"journal":{"name":"Current research in diabetes & obesity journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48869104","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}

However, no scientific studies have investigated its effect on diabetes induced systemic oxidative stress which is a major driving force of diabetic complications. This study evaluated the effect of M. aboensis on diabetes induced systemic oxidative stress in experimental animal model. Diabetes was induced with 70 mg/kg streptozotocin (i.p) following 30 minutes pre-administration of 50 mg/kg nicotinamide (i.p). Diabetic rats were treated orally with 200, 300 and 400 mg/kg of the extract and fractions for 21 days. Fasting blood glucose was determined every 7 days while blood samples were collected on the 22nd day for the determination of antioxidant enzymes and total antioxidant status. The extract showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in blood glucose at 400 mg/kg from the 14 th day of treatment while the ethyl acetate fraction at 300 mg/kg showed significant (p<0.05) effect from the 7 th day of treatment. Treatment with the extract, ethyl acetate and butanol fraction at all doses showed significant (p<0.05) increase in catalase enzyme activity compared with the diabetes induced control group. Ethyl acetate fraction at all doses also showed significant (p<0.05) increase in superoxide dismutase enzyme activity and total antioxidant capacity. This study validated the antihyperglycermic effect of M. aboensis as well as established the ability of this plant extract and fractions to attenuate diabetes induced oxidative stress. may be of therapeutic importance in the management of both hyperglycermia and oxidative damage associated with diabetes.","PeriodicalId":92021,"journal":{"name":"Current research in diabetes & obesity journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46377796","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}

Elderly individuals are part of the highest risk group for infection. In addition, it can be seen that many of elderly are obese and have multiple clinical comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes and heart disease. Aging and obesity reduce levels of circulating micronutrients both due to the lower absorption of these nutrients by the digestive tract and the high consumption of some micronutrients due to the oxidative stress of the obese patient. Low levels of micronutrients among obese elderly people can aggravate the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and the disease may progress to orotracheal intubation and the need for mechanical ventilatory support. This mini review will show especially the relationship between low levels of vitamin D and zinc among elderly patients with obesity hospitalized with COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":92021,"journal":{"name":"Current research in diabetes & obesity journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46335436","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}

It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality especially in these patients who usually had many comorbidity. Aim: The aim was to describe the clinical characteristics and complications in elderly patient with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A retrospective single-center study performed in the internal medicine department at a teaching hospital of Sahloul, Tunisia between 2005 and 2014 and 338 elderly patients (>=65 years according to WHO) were enrolled. Information’s regarding demographic and clinical characteristics were obtained from medical files. Results: Three-hundred thirty-eight old patients were diabetics. The mean age was 73 years old. All of them had type 2 diabetes mellitus. Obesity was observed in 55 (16.2%) patients. Acute metabolic complications were found in 47 patients; ketosis in 34 patients, hyperosmolar in 10 patients and hypoglycemia in 3 patients. Twenty-five (24%) patients were smoker. Diabetes was complicated by neuropathy in 58 (17.1%) patients, retinopathy in 32 (9.4%) patients, nephropathy in 77 (22.7%) patients, acute ischemic stroke in 58 (17.1%) patients, limb arteritis in 40 (11.8%) patients and ischemic heart disease in 61 (18.04%) patients.
