General Objective: To determine the frequency of COVID-19 in pregnant and postpartum women admitted with flu syndrome, to evaluate the clinical and laboratory predictors of COVID-19 progression and to identify the factors associated with adverse maternal and perinatal / neonatal outcomes in six
AIMS OF STUDY The aim of this study is to investigate whether ingestion of curcumin will prevent hepatic insulin resistance (assessed by homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)) induced by short-term oral glucocorticoid (prednisolone) administration in overweight and obese
Over one million infants are born to HIV-1-infected women every year in Sub Saharan Africa. In Zimbabwe, annual births stand at 379,000 with approximately 48,000 infants being born every year to HIV-1-infected women on lifelong highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Concerns have been
Purpose: Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I), also known as Von Gierke disease is caused by deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) enzyme affecting 1:100,000 births worldwide. Therefore, deficiency of this enzyme results in accumulation of glycogen in liver and inadequate production of
Glycogen storage diseases (GSDs) are a group of inherited genetic disorders that cause glycogen to be improperly stored in the body. People with glycogen storage diseases have a buildup of abnormal amounts or types of glycogen in their tissues.
The main types of glycogen storage diseases are
1.1. Pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes mellitus
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an metabolic disease with insulin deficiency and a dysfunctional release of counter regulatory hormone glucagon. In the pathogenesis of T1DM autoantibodies to insulin (IAA), Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase Antibody
The primary defect in autoimmune Type I Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) involves the infiltration of the pancreatic islet cells by T-lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune cells, and consequent loss of beta cells. At the onset of T1DM more than 70% of the beta cells are destroyed, whereas the residual
This is a single arm open label clinical study in Chinese men of 45 to 75 years of age with Type 2 Diabetes. Subjects will be recruited from participating family medicine clinics with the FMRN and followed for 90-days. All subjects will continue on pre-study treatment regimens and medications as
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is caused by autoimmune and autoinflammatory destruction of the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Historically, treatment for this condition has consisted of insulin replacement therapy and dietary modification. Recent studies have
Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes have different underlying pathophysiologic processes. The disease process in classical Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune destruction of the pancreatic beta cells. In contrast, the disease process in classical Type 2 diabetes is not autoimmune in nature, a decreased
