Asymptomatic Disease

Sir, Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common disorder and is the third most common endocrine disorder after diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders.  This common endocrine disorder has scaled down into an asymptomatic disease revealed by routine biochemical evaluation of patients for a variety of skeletal and non-skeletal symptoms in much of the western world. However, in India, and similar developing regions of world it continues to be for the most part an overtly symptomatic disease with skeletal, renal and other organ system manifestations. JMS 2018: 21 (2):129

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has become an asymptomatic disease in the Western world with the introduction of routine calcium screening. However, the same phenomenon is not observed in India. We have now systematically reviewed the status of PHPT in India. While there is a paucity of literature on PHPT from India when compared to Western countries, some information can be gleaned upon. Most patients present with symptomatic disease whereas very few are screen-detected cases (bone disease 77%, renal disease 36%, and 5.6% asymptomatic). Mean calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and alkaline phosphate levels are high while Vitamin D levels are low. The average parathyroid gland weight is large and the majority being parathyroid adenomas (89.1%). Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is common in the postoperative period. The disease-related mortality rate is 7.4%, recurrence 4.16%, and persistent disease 2.17%. We suggest that dedicated efforts are needed to pick up asymptomatic disease in India by methods like incorporating calcium estimation in the routine health check-up programs.

Predictive Role

The most common comorbidities in patients with diabetes mellitus are cardiovascular diseases, obesity, dyslipidemia, thyroid disorders but other associated diseases may frequently occur. Laboratory tests are useful investigation methods that may reveal the subclinical manifestations of the disease but they are also essential for patient monitoring. The aim of the study was to assess laboratory parameters and associated diseases in diabetic subjects and to implement a scoring system with a predictive role in the evolution of the cases. Material and methods: The study group consisted of 195 subjects with documented type 1 or type 2 diabetes. About half of the cases were collected from the Procardia outpatient unit, and the rest were patients admitted to the Diabetology Clinic in T�rgu Mure�. The study was performed between January - June 2017. The results of the laboratory tests, as well as the information regarding comorbidities and treatment, was collected and patients� body mass index was calculated. Based on the clinical data, a scoring system, called Diabetes Complication Severity Index (DCSI) with a predictive role, was implemented. The diabetic outpatients presented significantly better carbohydrate metabolic balance compared to the hospitalized subjects. No significant differences could be observed regarding kidney function, hepatic status and lipid profile of the two subgroups of diabetic subjects. The most important comorbidity observed in both patient groups was arterial hypertension. The hospitalized diabetic subjects had significantly higher incidence of ischemic heart disease and significantly lower incidence of thyroid disorders compared to the outpatients. The DCSI scoring system revealed that comorbidities are more frequently present in the hospitalized patients compared to the ambulant diabetic subjects. Evaluation of clinical status and laboratory results in diabetic patients followed by implementation of a scoring system based on the data obtained regarding comorbidities could help clinicians to set up an individual treatment plan for these patients, focusing on preventing other complications.

Neuropathic Ulcers

Few scientific data are available on the effectiveness of commonly used modalities for reducing pressure at the site of neuropathic ulcers in persons with diabetes mellitus. The authors' aim was to compare the effectiveness of total contact casts, half-shoes, rigid-soled postoperative shoes, accommodative dressings made of felt and polyethylene foam, and removable walking casts in reducing peak plantar foot pressures at the site of neuropathic ulcerations in diabetics. Using an in-shoe pressure-measurement system, data from 32 midgait steps were collected for each treatment. There was a consistent pattern in the devices' effectiveness in reducing foot pressures at ulcer sites under the great toe and ball of the foot. Removable walking casts were as effective as or more effective than total contact casts. Half-shoes were consistently the third most effective modality, followed by accommodative dressings and rigid-soled postoperative shoes.

Life Threatening

At the beginning of the third millennium, for mankind, which overcame the epidemic of life-threatening infections during its centuries-old history, the problem of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) came to the fore in relevance among all causes of morbidity and mortality. A significant role in this was played by lifestyle modification associated with limiting physical activity, increasing the calorie content of food, and a steady increase in emotional stress. All of this potentiates the main risk factors for CVD, which are a “negative asset of progress,” namely increased blood pressure (BP), dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus (DM) and obesity. Since 1988, after G. Reaven's Banting lecture, it is customary to designate the interconnected combination of these pathologies by the single term "metabolic syndrome X".

Background. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is known to affect the thyroid axis, including thyroid hormone metabolism. It has been established that a decrease in renal function can be combined with changes in thyroid function. Thyroid dysfunction also has implications for renal blood flow, glomerular filtration rate (GFR), tubular transport, electrolyte homeostasis, and glomerular structure. The purpose of the study was to determine the features of thyroid function in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and CKD and develop recommendations for hormonal testing of thyroid pathology. Materials and methods. One hundred and twenty-one patients with T1DM with CKD were divided into 3 groups: group 1 — 78 individuals with GFR ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2, group 2 — 20 people receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT), group 3 — 23 patients after renal transplantation (RT) with adequate graft function (the duration of the renal transplant is 3.62 (1.47; 4.28) years). Results. In T1DM and CKD group, the diagnostic value of thyroid-stimulating hormone is reduced due to the absence of differences in its values with a decrease in T4 and T3. Free T3 is the most sensitive marker of thyroid dysfunction in CKD. Thyroid disorders in T1D and CKD patients have a non-immune genesis. T1DM patients on RRT after hemodialysis (HD) procedure have an increase in total and free T4 and free T3, consequently, monitoring of thyroid disorders should be done immediately after the HD session. The restoration of normal values of peripheral conversion index and free T3 occurs within 1–2 years after TR, depending on the duration of RRT receiving. After more than 3 post-transplantation years, there is an increase in peripheral conversion index, which characterizes the imbalance of peripheral thyroid hormones towards a decrease in free T3 with relatively stable free T4. Conclusions. Thyroid dysfunctions are typical for all stages of the pathological process in CKD in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, including patients at the terminal stage and after successful kidney transplantation. The changes in thyroid hormones are associated with the RRT experience and can potentially affect the survival of patients.

Abstract Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), one of the most common pregnancy complications, can lead to morbidity and mortality in both the mother and the infant. Metabolomics has provided new insights into the pathology of GDM and systemic analysis of GDM with metabolites is required for providing more clues for GDM diagnosis and mechanism research. This study aims to reveal metabolic differences between normal pregnant women and GDM patients in the second- and third-trimester stages and to confirm the clinical relevance of these new findings.Methods: Metabolites were quantitated with the serum samples of 200 healthy pregnant women and 200 GDM women in the second trimester, 199 normal controls, and 199 GDM patients in the third trimester. Both function and pathway analyses were applied to explore biological roles involved in the two sets of metabolites. Then the trimester stage-specific GDM metabolite biomarkers were identified by combining machine learning approaches, and the logistic regression models were constructed to evaluate predictive efficiency. Finally, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis method was used to further capture the associations between metabolite modules with biomarkers and clinical indices. Results: This study revealed that 57 differentially expressed metabolites (DEMs) were discovered in the second-trimester group, among which the most significant one was 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid. Similarly, 72 DEMs were found in the third-trimester group, and the most significant metabolites were ketoleucine and alpha-ketoisovaleric acid. These DEMs were mainly involved in the metabolism pathway of amino acids, fatty acids and bile acids. The logistic regression models for selected metabolite biomarkers achieved the area under the curve values of 0.807 and 0.81 for the second- and third-trimester groups. Furthermore, significant associations were found between DEMs/biomarkers and GDM-related indices. Conclusions: Metabolic differences between healthy pregnant women and GDM patients were found. Associations between biomarkers and clinical indices were also investigated, which may provide insights into pathology of GDM.
