Diabetes mellitus and bacterial and fungal urinary tract infection
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by variable degrees of insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and increased glucose production. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk of infections, with the urinary tract being the most frequent infection site. Various impairments in the immune system, in addition to poor metabolic control of diabetes, and incomplete bladder emptying due to autonomic neuropathy, may all contribute in the pathogenesis of urinary tract infections (UTI) in diabetic patients. Factors that were found to enhance the risk for UTI in diabetics include age, metabolic control, and long-term complications, primarily diabetic nephropathy and cystopathy. The spectrum of UTI in these patients ranges from asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) to lower UTI (cystitis), pyelonephritis, and severe urosepsis.
Diabetes Mellitus & Recent developments
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defect in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Symptoms of marked hyperglycemia include polyuria, polydipsia, weight loss, sometimes with polyphagia, and blurred vision. Frequency of diabetic in the world About 1 in 11 adults worldwide now have diabetes mellitus, 90% of whom have type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Asia is a major area of the rapidly emerging T2DM global epidemic Classification Of Diabetic Mellitus. 1-Type 1 diabetes: which accounts for only5–10% of those with diabetes, results from a cellular-mediated autoimmune destruction of the cells of the pancreas. 2-Type 2 diabetes: which accounts for90 –95% of those with diabetes, result from insulin resistance. The chronic complications of diabetes mellitus affect many organ systems and are responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality. Such as, retinopathy, diabetic foot, neuropathy, and nephropathy, sexual dysfunction, and skin changes.
Malnutrition therapy by CMAM training
This research aims at spotting the light on the problem of malnutrition: its causes and effects, and trying to find possible solutions by using CMAM Program. Severe wasting is the most widespread form of severe acute malnutrition, affecting an estimated 17 million children globally. This analysis assesses the effectiveness of community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) program.
Lifestyle modifications : The best treatment for prediabetes
Demonstrate the physiological effects of lifestyle modification on prediabetes. Prediabetes is a condition in which individuals have blood glucose levels higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as diabetes. Prediabetes is now recognized as a reversible condition that increases an individual’s risk for development of diabetes. Lifestyle risk factors for prediabetes include overweight and physical inactivity.
Children's diabetes
Diabetes in infants, toddlers, older children, and adolescents poses serious physical, mental, and emotional challenges. Striking a balance among hypoglycemia/hyperglycemia, growth/development, and other life factors is not easy for health care providers, patients, or families. In addition, personal, family, or environmental conditions present before the onset of diabetes may compound the delicate balance needed to maintain good glycemic control. Therefore, there is a great need, especially at the time of initial diagnosis, to assess the developmental, behavioral, and psychosocial history of children with diabetes and their families.
