Nutrition Counseling Position in Reducing the Duration of Admission for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Undergoing Cataract Surgery

Background and Aim: Cataract is one of the most common ocular diseases caused by various causes including congenital, resulting from trauma, drug or radiation, diabetes, or aging. Diabetes type 2, as a common metabolic disorder, is one of the main reasons for cataracts. we aimed to study nutritional counseling's status on the correction of glucose and urea and creatinine patterns and blood pressure of patients undergoing cataract surgery and reducing the pre-operative hospitalization time. Methods: In this study, 60 women with type 2 diabetes and 39 male participants aged 25 to 65 (aged 25 to 65) were randomly assigned into two groups (control without diet and nutritional counseling). The target group (presentation of diabetic diet and nutrition counseling) went under investigation two weeks before cataract surgery. Blood sampling proceeded from the arm vein in a sitting way one day before and after the diet (12 hours of fasting). Results: Fasting blood glucose, body weight, waist circumference, urea, creatinine, blood pressure, and hospitalization period were significantly decreased after surgery (p≤0.05). Conclusion: The results showed that receiving nutrition counseling and diet before cataract surgery can improve fasting blood glucose, 2-hour blood glucose, body weight, urea, creatinine, blood pressure, and thus hospitalization and recovery be reduced after surgery. *Corresponding Author: Fariba Mohammadi Tahroodi; Email: [email protected] Please cite this article as: Vaziri Javid R, Safizadeh F, Lotfi F, Pouriamehr S, Khonakdar-Tarsi A, Akbari Javar A, Zarpou S, Mohammadi Tahroodi F.

Reference Interval for Fasting Blood Sugar, Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, Low-Density Lipoprotein, and High-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol in Healthy Babolian Individuals

Background and Aim: Sugar and Lipid disorders are the main risk factors for vascular abnormalities. Due to the gender and age, other variables can influence serum Fasting blood sugar and lipid levels, certifying the determination of population-specific reference interval. This study was designed to investigate the age- and gender-specific reference values for serum Fasting blood sugar (FBS), triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL) in healthy Babolian adults. Methods: FBS, TC, TG, and HDL were calculating applying the colorimetric method. The Friedewald equation (LDL=TC−HDL−TG/5) was used to calculate LDL concentrations in individuals. After using the exclusion parameters, 519 participants (199 men and 320 women) aged ≥23 years were included. The Clinical Chemistry guidelines of the International Federation applied for characterizing the reference values for samples. Results: Reference values for serum FBS, TG, TC, LDL, HDL were 77.01-107.69 mg/dL, 35.34-204.38 mg/dL, 117.97-242.81 mg/dL, 47.6-137.16 mg/dL and 33.29-67.13 mg/dL in men. In women, reference values for serum FBS, TG, TC, LDL, HDL were 75.03-107.99, 27.49-192.33 mg/dL, 125.84-244.32 mg/dL, 44.08-139.48 mg/dL and 36.66-81.1 mg/dL. FBS, TG, and LDL parameters were higher in men, and TC and HDL parameters were higher in women. Conclusion: Reference values for serum FBS, TC, TG, LDL, HDL in healthy Babolian adults were specified, and these data could supply a clear pathway for better decision making in both clinical settings and prevention. *Corresponding Author: Negar Yavari; Email: [email protected] Please cite this article as: Gholami Bahnemiri M, Amiri M, Khanicheragh M, Safizadeh F, Mohammadi Tahroodi F, Akbari Javar A, Aram H, Mir SM, Yavari N.

The investigation of the relationship between polycystic ovary syndrome with metabolic changes in women

Background: For exploring the relationship between metabolic changes and thyroid function in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, metabolic, endocrine, and thyroid parameters were assessed. Materials and Methods: alterations in endocrine, metabolic, and clinical characteristics in PCOS patients compared with healthy women were studied within a prospective investigation. Also thyroid parameters were considered. Results: 300 women with normal ovulatory as controls and PCOS patients were included and matched by age. There were significant increases in triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (CHL), and total dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in PCOS patients. Also, overall levels of Fast Blood Sugar (FBS), Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), Testosterone (T), Prolactin, and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) were higher in compared with the normal women, but these higher amounts were not significant. There was an insignificant decrease in Luteinizing hormone(LH), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and Free T4 in PCOS patients compared with the controls. Conclusions: Our manuscript suggests the negative metabolic alterations in PCOS patients.The small increases of TG, CHL, and DHT levels may depend on these alterations in metabolic parameters in PCOS patients. Further investigations may clear a vague understanding of the relationship between metabolic parameters alteration and thyroid function
