All-cause in-hospital mortality and comorbidity in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stroke

Is diabetes an independent risk factor for in‐hospital complications after a stroke?

“…Overall, in addition to complications derived from the DM itself, patients with DM who are hospitalized for any reason might develop complications such as infections, coronary arterial disease, myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular disease . There are conflicting data among the few studies on the IHCs of patients with DM who have suffered a stroke . A number of these studies found no differences in terms of IHCs between patients with and without DM, whereas others have reported a higher risk in those with DM; in those studies reporting higher risk, patients with DM more frequently developed pneumonia and urinary tract infections, and showed greater in‐hospital mortality .…”

“…Patients with DM who are hospitalized have a higher rate of infectious, cardiologic and cerebrovascular complications, and complications derived from DM . Patients with DM who suffer strokes have also been shown to have a higher rate of infectious complications such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections . High blood glucose levels at the time of IS are associated with a poorer clinical outcome and the development of complications such as hemorrhagic transformation of cerebral infarction …”

Sleep disorders and circadian rhythms in diseases of the cardiovascular system

“…C возрастом количество рецепторов (MEL1-A, MEL1-B, MEL1-C) к мелатонину в органах и тканях (эн-дотелий, сердце, головной мозг, почки, сетчатка и др.) снижается [12,13,31,48]. Показана эффективность мела-тонина для нормализации сна и циркадианных ритмов у больных с инсомнией, острым инсультом, депрессивны-ми расстройствами и др.…”

“…При сравнительном анализе возраст-ных особенностей вегетативного контроля деятельности сердечно-сосудистой системы было показано, что у пожи-лых людей нарушается циркадианная регуляция АД и ЧСС [4]. Имеются сведения о том, что хронобиологиче-ские расстройства выявляют у больных АГ [28][29][30], сахар-ным диабетом [31], ИБС [32,33], деменцией [34,35]. Име-ются данные о существовании хронобиологических зако-номерностей в развитии инсульта и инфаркта миокарда.…”

Blood optical properties at various glucose level values in THz frequency range

“…By the year 2010, the number of patients suffering from diabetes had amounted to more than 230 million people, which is estimated as 3.5% of the whole world adult population [1]. According to expert forecasts, this number is projected to double by the year 2025, which is going to be 7% of whole Earth population.…”
