Obesity leads to insulin resistance because the larger adipocytes in obese persons secrete proinflammatory cytokines that cause chronic inflammation in adipose tissue. This, in turn, leads to the alteration of adipokine secretion, which can induce insulin resistance. However, the development of
A review of liver biopsy specimens from patients undergoing ileojejunal bypass for obesity showed granulomas in follow-up biopsy specimens from six of 25 patients (24%) three months to four years after the procedure. The incidence was significantly greater than that seen in obese patients at the
Granuloma annulare (GA) may be associated with glucose intolerance. Twenty-one patients with GA were evaluated. Four patients were found to have frank diabetes mellitus and 2 were excluded from the data analysis because of obesity. The remaining patients and 14 age- and weight-matched controls had
Elastolytic giant cell granuloma (EGCG), also known as actinic granuloma, is an uncommon granulomatous dermatosis usually characterised by asymptomatic annular plaques on sun-exposed skin. Its aetiology is not fully elucidated, but actinic damage has been considered the main causal factor. Atypical
BACKGROUND
Polypliagia and morbid obesity appears in patients with sarcodosis may be signs of neurosarcoidosis in the medial hypothalmus where satiety center is located. It is estimated that about 1% of all patients with sarcoidosis may have sarcoidosis of the hxpothalamus. It is of utmost
Parasites induce behavioral changes in the host and obesity is a health problem affecting different animal species. Cysticercosis caused by Taenia pisiformis affects some behavior of rabbits and reproductive behavior of does. Rabbits do not escape from metabolic disorders, being long-live animals
The response of non-immunosuppressed non-obese diabetic/Lt mice to an isograft (H-2g7), major histocompatibility complex-mismatched allografts (CBA, H-2K; BALB/c, H-2d), and xenograft of fetal pig pancreas was assessed by light microscopy. In non-obese diabetic mice, isografts were rapidly invaded
A simple device for grasping, cutting, and extracting sutures from subcutaneous granulomas has been used in more than fifty patients. It is especially useful in removing sutures embedded deeply beneath the skin level in obese patients.
An 83-year-old obese woman with a 60-pack-year smoking history was referred for evaluation of an abnormal chest radiograph [chest x-ray (CXR)]. Her past medical history was significant for recurrent deep venous thrombosis without any predisposing factors. CXR showed a large mass in the right mid
Our laboratory has suggested that loss of tolerance to pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDC-E2) leads to an anti-mitochondrial antibody response and autoimmune cholangitis, similar to human primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). We have suggested that this loss of tolerance can be induced either via chemical
Necrobiosis lipoidica (NL) is a rare dermatosis that has been shown to precede the onset of diabetes mellitus in 15% of patients. It is more common in women; the average age of the onset is 30 years. Skin lesions of classic NL begin as a small papule, typically on the bilateral pretibial area.
This study compares the early (30-d) with the late (14-month) effects of small intestinal bypass on hepatic lipid accumulation in congenitally obese Zucker rats. Heterozygote, lean and homozygote, obese Zucker rats underwent sham operations and homozygote obese rats underwent bypass of 90 percent of
BACKGROUND
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous tracheostomy (PCT) and the incidence of complications in critically ill, obese patients.
METHODS
Fifty consecutive patients were included in a prospective study in two surgical and critical
Granuloma annulare (GA) is classified as localized, generalized/disseminated, subcutaneous, and perforating types. The studies show connection with diabetes mellitus, lipidic metabolic disorders, malignant diseases, thyroid disorders, infections (HBV, HCV, HIV). We performed a retrospective study
Obesity and diabetes are chronic diseases that affect people all over the world, and their incidence is increasing in both children and adults. Clinically, they affect a number of organs, including the skin. The cutaneous manifestations caused or aggravated by obesity and diabetes are varied and
