A new feature article explores the pivotal role NPs play in the early detection, management, and education of patients with chronic kidney disease and type 2 diabetes mellitus, significantly improving patient outcomes #DM#NP#renal#CKD https://ow.ly/GKhr50SA7iX

The patient is a 43-year-old male with diabetes mellitus , DLP He presents with chest pain and ECG changes. His troponin level is 30, The last coronary angiogram (CAG) done in April 2024 showed mild coronary artery disease (CAD). Echocardiogram: Normal LVEF, apical wall HK , no significant Valvular heart disease First ECG in ER What is your diagnosis? Based on ECG changes and all mentioned above conditions l decided to do CAG Let’s dive in to Cath in next slide

Cardiovascular disease is a prevalent complication of diabetes. The risk is elevated even in the prediabetic state. What strategies can be employed to most effectively prevent this association? In this discussion, we examine recent developments together with Paul Franks PhD MPhil MS FTOS and Dr. V. Mohan Diabetes Specialist. https://lnkd.in/ePExPih9

Excited to share our recently published letter to the editor in Acta Cardiologica: "The Role of the Triglyceride-Glucose Index in Assessing Coronary Artery Disease Risk in Diabetes Mellitus". This work highlights the TYG index as a potential marker in evaluating coronary artery disease severity in diabetic patients. Thanks to Raheel Ahmed for his invaluable guidance.

In Type 1 Diabetes, Pancreas Size May Predict Disease Progression   The size of the pancreas may be a marker for the risk of disease progression in patients with type 1 diabetes, finds a new study published in Diabetes Care, the journal of the American Diabetes Association. Researchers at the Vanderbilt Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC) have found that a smaller pancreas leads to faster progression to stage 3 type 1 diabetes. The findings suggest that imaging of the pancreas can be used to track disease progression.   https://lnkd.in/gu3iAE9D   #nasdaq #gtck #presentation #diabetes #paulgoode Glucotrack

Extracranial internal carotid artery stenosis (CAS) is a major cause of ischemic stroke, and it is estimated to cause 8–15% of such events. A strong association between the presence of carotid atherosclerosis (CA) and cardiovascular events has been shown in individuals with diabetes. Diabetes mellitus (DM) has been linked to an increased prevalence and severity of carotid artery disease, as well as polyvascular disease. #diabetes #diabetesza #noncomunicabledisease #vascularhealth #amputation #africandiabeticawareness #peripheralarterydisease

In a recent article by U.S. News, experts highlighted the strong link between gum disease and diabetes. Diabetes increases the risk of periodontal disease by weakening the immune system and raising inflammation, while severe gum disease can disrupt insulin sensitivity, making diabetes harder to control. This creates a dangerous cycle that affects both conditions.    Treating gum disease can help manage diabetes. With over 800 million people affected by diabetes and more than 1 billion suffering from severe gum disease, a more holistic approach to health is essential to address this interconnected issue.    At ProHEALTH Dental, our mission is to integrate dental care with medical care and to educate our patients about the relationship between oral health and overall health.    Read more: https://lnkd.in/e4uNFWe5   

In patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)-5 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, SGLT-2 inhibitors are associated with a lower risk of 👉Dialysis initiation 👉Hospitalization for heart failure 👉Acute myocardial infarction and 👉Acute kidney injury without difference in all cause mortality. This is a Taiwanese retrospective study on a large database but there have been no RCTs to support these findings. The observed findings provide hope to delay dialysis initiation on our patients approaching end stage renal disease. Keep that ‘gliflozin’ going. #ACPIMPhysicians #ACP #Internalmedicine

'Breakthrough in diabetes treatment: Chinese researchers successfully cure patient' Diabetes, a chronic condition affecting the body’s ability to convert food into energy, can lead to severe complications such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease if not properly managed. Traditional treatments often involve insulin injections and constant monitoring, posing a significant burden on patients. #Breakthrough | #Diabetestreatment | #Chineseresearchers | #Chronic | #Condition | #Insulininjections | #Monitoring | #Heartdisease | #Kidneydisease | #Healthnews Read more:
