“…Consistent with our outcomes, a study from Amman, Jordan, found no gender-based variation in the MetS frequency 22 . In the United States, MetS is more common in white males than females, while American blacks, Mexican Americans, Korean, Irani, Indian, and Kinmen women had a higher prevalence of MetS than men 23 .…”

Background: The management of renal stones has undergone significant advancements in recent years, with percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) and Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) emerging as minimally invasive alternatives to traditional Pyelolithotomy. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of Mini-PCNL and RIRS for renal stones measuring 1-2 cm, focusing on operative time, stone clearance, hospital stay, and the need for ancillary procedures. Methodology: This retrospective study collected data from the medical records of patients admitted to The Department of Urology at The Kidney Centre, Karachi, between January 1, 2021, and August 31, 2022. The study included 100 patients who underwent RIRS and 129 patients who underwent Mini-PCNL. Results: It was found that the operative time was statistically similar in both groups. However, the length of hospital stay was significantly higher in the Mini-PCNL group (more than 2 days in 88.4%), whereas in the RIRS group, the majority of patients stayed ≤ 2 days (78%). Overall stone clearance was 82.1%, with a slightly higher clearance rate in patients who underwent Mini-PCNL (85.3%) compared to RIRS (78%), though the p- value was not statistically significant. Conclusion: For renal stones sized 1-2 cm, both RIRS and Mini-PCNL demonstrate efficient treatment options with comparable stone-free rates. RIRS appears more comfortable and less morbid than Mini-PCNL, with a shorter hospital stay. Although Mini-PCNL requires an extended hospital stay to treat 1- to 2-cm renal stones, it is associated with fewer complications and a reduced need for a JJ stent, making it a viable alternative to RIRS in certain cases.

“…Further, the occupation of women was mostly sedentary. Whereas, a study from Amman, Jordan, stated that there was no significant difference in the prevalence of MetS among sex [ 28 ]. In sharp contrast to the current study findings, MetS was higher among men than women from urban North-Central Nigeria.…”

Background The prevalence of metabolic syndrome is rising at an alarming rate and more common among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients in the world. The risk for cardiovascular disease is greater among individuals who have a combination of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and metabolic syndrome compared to those who have either alone. Objective To assess the proportion of metabolic syndrome and lifestyle factors among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Dessie Referral Hospital, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Methods A hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2017 among 343 randomly selected Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Three definitions of Metabolic syndrome were considered. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were reported to show the strength of association. Statistical significance was declared at P-value < 0.05. Result The proportion of metabolic syndrome was 50.3%, 59.4% and 64.5% according to 2005 International Diabetes Federation, revised ATP III and 2009 harmonized criteria, respectively. Being female (AOR = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.40, 4.21), consumption of red meat (AOR = 2.61; 95% CI = 1.28, 5.33), sedentary leisure time activity (AOR = 2.65; 95% CI = 1.47, 4.78), coffee intake (AOR = 0.43; 95% CI = 0.21, 0.86), BMI ≥ 25 kg/m 2 (AOR = 9.59; 95% CI = 4.98, 18.47), 40–49 years of age (AOR = 2.74, 95% CI = (1.02, 7.37), 50–59 years of age (AOR = 4.22; 95% CI = 1.60, 11.11) and ≥70 years of age (AOR = 4.51, 95% CI = 1.44, 14.15) were significantly associated with metabolic syndrome. Conclusion and recommendation The proportion of metabolic syndrome was high among Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients. Overweight and obesity, being female, age of respondent, intake of coffee, regular red meat consumption, and sedentary leisure-time activity were factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Counseling of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients on the need for spending leisure time with activities, intake of coffee, control of body weight, and avoidance of regular red meat consumption is recommended.

“…A similar conclusive finding was obtained from the study conducted by Pokhrel R et al [13] in Pokhara, Nepal, where the prevalence among female patients was much higher. A study by Efaishat R et al [14] stated that there was no significant difference in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome among the sexes. In sharp contrast to the current study’s findings, metabolic syndrome was higher among men than women in a study conducted by Puppet F et al [15] in Urban North-Central Nigeria, where the prevalence of males was 74.5%.…”

INTRODUCTIONThe coexistence of Metabolic Syndrome in Type 2 diabetic patients significantly increases the risk of stroke and cardiovascular disease. Due to its remarkably high prevalence, metabolic syndrome has gained significant interest over the last decade. Limited information exists regarding the occurrence of Metabolic Syndrome in Type 2 diabetic patients in developing nations like Nepal. Our study aims to determine the prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Western Nepal.METHODSThis prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Universal College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Patients with gestational diabetes mellitus, Type I Diabetes Mellitus, and those aged less than 20 were excluded. Metabolic syndrome has been diagnosed based on the definition given by the International Diabetes Federation.RESULTSThe study involved 123 patients with a mean age of 61.44 ± 12.88 years, predominantly female (55.3%). Of these patients, 42.3% were classified as Obese. The overall prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients was 61%, comprising 75 cases. The most common component in our study was hypertension, with 82 cases (66.7%), followed by central obesity with 81 cases (65.9%). Among patients with Metabolic Syndrome, 66.7% had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the 60-89 ml/min range. In females, central obesity was the most common component, while in males, hypertension was the most common component of Metabolic Syndrome.CONCLUSIONThe prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus was high. Therefore, timely detection and management of Metabolic Syndrome is crucial in preventing consequences and premature mortality in individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.
