The Role of Obesity and Diabetes in Dementia

The underlying pathological mechanisms of obesity overlap with those of dementia and diabetes mellitus. Age, gender, Western diet, depression, and genetic and epigenetic factors mediate an inflammatory state, which leads to metabolic dysregulation. The development of chronic conditions can be avoided with drugs, surgical interventions, and lifestyle modifications. Dementia and diabetes mellitus (DM) are chronic...

Ipragliflozin in Diabetes Patients with NAFLD

SGLT-2is, including ipragliflozin, are an effective therapeutic modality for diabetes patients with NAFLD. Ipragliflozin is also effective in the resolution of NASH and in mediating obesity and glycemic control. Sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) are widely used for the treatment of diabetes; however, the effect of SGLT-2is on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is uncertain....

Diabetes Mellitus and Dental Implants

This systematic review discussed the complications of dental implant procedures in diabetes mellitus and pre-diabetes patients. Implementation and adherence to preventive anti-infective measures under controlled glycemic conditions effectively reduces dental implant surgery complications in patients with pre-diabetes and diabetes mellitus. Although useful for dental and oral rehabilitation, dental implant surgery is associated with increased complications....

Proton Pump Inhibitors and Risk of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Long-term and regular use of PPIs in treating acid-related diseases can lead to the onset of T2DM, particularly in younger patients with higher clinical severity, according to a recent case-control study. Therefore, physicians are advised to refrain from the unnecessary or long-term prescription of PPIs. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) suppress the meal-stimulated and basal secretion...

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Antibiotic Resistant Infections

Patients with T2DM are more likely to experience resistant infections, mainly of the respiratory and urinary tracts, than healthy individuals, according to a recent meta-review. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a global health burden associated with increased economic costs, mortality, morbidity, and disability. While T2DM is significantly related to the development of non-communicable diseases,...
