  • [ 100 ] The feasibility of this measure has been well-substantiated in multiple, large, multicenter, epidemiological studies including the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study, the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), Framingham and Multi-Ethnic Study for Atherosclerosis (MESA). (medscape.com)
  • Using the Family Study of Stroke Risk and Carotid Atherosclerosis project, [ 105 ] we found that heritability for cIMT ranged from 0.41 to 0.65 across the different carotid segments suggesting the pivotal role of genetic factors in atherosclerosis. (medscape.com)
  • Mutations in GBA1 are associated with Gaucher disease (GD) and are also genetic risks in developing Parkinson's disease (PD). (nih.gov)
  • AIM: The current study aimed at analyzing the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment accompanied by systemic antibiotics on salivary enzyme activities, periodontal parameters, and glycemic control in type-2 diabetic (T2D) patients with chronic periodontitis. (bvsalud.org)
  • METHODS: The study included 125 type-2 diabetic patients with chronic periodontitis who had good glycemic control (T2Dc), 125 type-2 diabetics who had bad glycemic control (T2Dpc). (bvsalud.org)
  • It is not unusual for patients with type 1 diabetes to present with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). (medscape.com)
  • An international expert committee appointed by the ADA, the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), and the International Diabetes Association recommended the HbA 1c assay for diagnosing type 1 diabetes only when the condition is suspected but the classic symptoms are absent. (medscape.com)
  • Screening for type 1 diabetes in asymptomatic low-risk individuals is not recommended. (medscape.com)
  • [ 2 ] However, in patients at high risk (eg, those who have first-degree relatives with type 1 diabetes), it may be appropriate to perform annual screening for anti-islet antibodies before the age of 10 years, along with 1 additional screening during adolescence. (medscape.com)
  • Major findings of this study indicated a strong association between SNPs in 13 candidate genes and cIMT across the different carotid artery segments. (medscape.com)
  • [ 109 ] Moreover, variants in MMP3 , IL-6 and HP genes were significantly associated with cIMT in a previous study from NOMAS. (medscape.com)
  • Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of a first-line treatment: desloratadine 5 mg/day on antioxidant status and clinical assessment in Tunisian patients with CSU and to identify possible associations between GSTT1 and GSTM1 genotypes and susceptibility to CSU. (bvsalud.org)
  • [ 110 ] The most significant genes associated with cIMT in NOMAS are presented in Table 2 . (medscape.com)
  • We observed a significant association in null alleles of GSTM1. (bvsalud.org)
