“…The results were recorded. The patients’ Body Mass Index (BMI) values were calculated using the formula of weight (kg) / height (m 2 ), and classified as follows: <18.5 underweight, ≥18.5–24.9 normal weight, 25–29.9≤ overweight, and ≥29.9 obese 9. The HOMA-IR values, as an indicator of insulin resistance, were calculated using the following formula: FBG (mg/dl) x insulin/ 405,10 and a HOMA-IR value ≥2.5 was considered to indicate insulin resistance.…”

Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a significant public health issue worldwide due to the associated comorbidities. Recent studies have demonstrated a strong relationship between blood glucose levels and serum ferritin levels in patients with type 2 DM. The aim of the study was to investigate the association between Ferritin Levels and Inflammatory Markers on HbA1c in the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. Methods: This single-center, cross-sectional, controlled study included patients who were admitted to the Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders outpatient clinics of the Private Kütahya Hospital in the province of Kutahya in the Western Turkey. The study included a total of 172 patients, 84 of whom had type 2 DM and 88 without diabetes and constituted the control group. A total of 190 patients with DM were admitted to the Adult Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases Outpatient Clinics of the hospital between July 1, 2018 and September 1, 2018, and among these, the study was conducted on 172 volunteer patients who met the study inclusion criteria and who did not have any missing data. The HbA1c levels, serum ferritin, hemoglobin (Hb), insulin, Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), lipid profiles, and uric acid levels were compared between the groups. Results: The serum ferritin levels of the patients with type 2 DM significantly increased with increasing HbA1c levels (p<0.01). A strong positive correlation was found between serum ferritin levels and HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (FBG) levels (p<0.01). Conclusions: Our study results show a significant relationship between HbA1c levels and serum ferritin and CRP levels, suggesting that serum ferritin and CRP levels can be used as a routine screening tool for the early diagnosis of DM. However, further large-scale, prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings. doi: https://doi.org/10.12669/pjms.35.4.1003 How to cite this:Son NE.

The objective of this study was to identify the factors associated with the impairment of quality of life (QoL) in community-dwelling individuals with LUTS. A randomized sample of the population registered in the Family Health Program -Niterói aged 45 years or over was selected. Information about demographic, socioeconomic and lifestyle factors, co-morbidities and nocturia was collected. The NANDA-I taxonomy was used to identify the other LUTS, and QoL evaluation was performed in accordance with the SF-36 Short Form questionnaire (SF36-SF). For the SF36-SF domains (outcome) associated with LUTS, multiple logistic models were tested including the urinary symptoms and the sociodemographic and associated clinical variables. Stress urinary incontinence was associated with white skin, female gender, obesity, smoking, alcohol intake, depression and low scores in all evaluated domains of QoL. Nocturia was associated with advanced age, low schooling level, higher BMI, hypertension, diabetes, health insurance and the lowest scores in all evaluated domains of Qol, except for the Role Emotional. According to multivariate analysis, stress incontinence and depression are associated with the highest risks of low scores in General Health, Physical Functioning and Vitality domains, while nocturia and obesity showed association with the highest risks of low scores in Physical Functioning, Bodily-Pain and Vitality domains.

“…A standard 12-lead ECG was obtained at a paper speed of 25 mm/sec and an amplification of 10 mm/mV using commercially available machines. The QRS duration, QT interval, QRS axis and T-wave axis were automatically measured (7,8). The frontal QRS-T angle was defined as the absolute value of the difference between the frontal plane QRS axis and T-wave axis.…”

Objective The QRS-T angle has been established as a repolarization marker. In the present study, we determined whether or not newly developed bundle branch block (BBB) affected the QRS-T angle in patients with a narrow QRS. Methods Twenty-four patients with newly developed BBB and no adverse cardiac events were retrospectively included. The frontal QRS-T angle was defined as the absolute value of the difference between the frontal plane QRS axis and the T-wave axis. These electrocardiogram parameters were serially measured in the settings of narrow QRS and BBB. Results Twelve patients had newly developed right BBB (RBBB), and 12 had newly developed left BBB (LBBB). The development of RBBB did not affect the QRS axis, T-wave axis of QRS-T angle (41° ±42° to 53° ±65°, p = 0.63). In contrast, the development of LBBB shifted the QRS axis to the left (25° ±29° to -18° ±31°, p = 0.003), resulting in an increased QRS-T angle (72° ±50° to 123° ±39°, p = 0.001). Regarding RBBB, an excellent correlation and agreement were found between the QRS-T angles in the setting of narrow QRS and RBBB (r = 0.88; p <0.001; bias, 2.9° ±20.9°). However, there was a significant bias between the QRS-T angles in the setting of narrow QRS and LBBB (51.9° ±40.4°; p = 0.001). Conclusion Our data suggested that the QRS-T angle in the setting of RBBB reflected the original QRS-T angle in the setting of narrow QRS well, whereas the QRS-T angle in the setting of LBBB did not.
