Item Impact of diabetes mellitus on urinary continence after holmium laser enucleation of the prostate due to lower urinary tract symptoms: a retrospective study(POLISH UROLOGICAL ASSOC, 2021-01-01) Acikgoz, Onur; Yilmaz, Mehmet; Aybal, Halil Cagri; Yilmaz, Sercan; Gazer, Eymen; Yalcin, Serdar; Duvarci, Mehmet; Kaya, Engin; Miernik, Arkadiusz; Tunc, LutfiIntroduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known as a risk factor of stress urinary incontinence after Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). We aimed to compare the postoperative continence status of patients with and without DM, after HoLEP surgery. Material and methods A total of 214 patients who underwent HoLEP between January 2017 and January 2020 were retrospectively assessed. Functional outcomes, perioperative total operation time (TOT) (min), enucleation time (ET)(min), enucleation efficiency (EE)(g/min), enucleated tissue weight (ETW)(g), morcellation efficiency (ME)(g/min), morcellation time (MT)(min), continence status, intraoperative and postoperative complications according to Clavien-Dindo classification were recorded. Results A total of 96 patients had DM additional to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) (Group 1), while 118 patients had only benign prostate hyperplasia without DM (Group 2). When comparing preoperative and postoperative functional outcomes, a statistically significant improvement was observed in both groups from baseline to the 1st and 6th month follow-up (p <= 0.001). There were no statistically significant differences between groups in postoperative stress urinary incontinence at postoperative months 1 and 6 (1.7\% vs 2.1\%, p = 1 and 0.8\% vs 1\%, p = 1Item Patterns and Relevance of Langerhans Islet Invasion in Pancreatic Cancer(MDPI, 2021-01-01) Goess, Ruediger; Mutgan, Ayse Ceren; Calisan, Umut; Erdogan, Yusuf Ceyhun; Ren, Lei; Jager, Carsten; Safak, Okan; Stupakov, Pavel; Istvanffy, Rouzanna; Friess, Helmut; Ceyhan, Guralp O.; Demir, Ihsan EkinSimple Summary The pathogenesis of pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus is poorly understood. We analyzed tumor infiltration into Langerhans islets and characterized it systematically for the first time, identifying four different main patterns of islet invasion. In a cohort of 68 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients, these islet invasion patterns were not related to occurrence of diabetes mellitus. However, severe islet invasion was associated with worsened overall survival. Background: Pancreatic cancer-associated diabetes mellitus (PC-DM) is present in most patients with pancreatic cancer, but its pathogenesis remains poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to characterize tumor infiltration in Langerhans islets in pancreatic cancer and determine its clinical relevance. Methods: Langerhans islet invasion was systematically analyzed in 68 patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) using histopathological examination and 3D in vitro migration assays were performed to assess chemoattraction of pancreatic cancer cells to islet cells. Results: Langerhans islet invasion was present in all patients. We found four different patterns of islet invasion: (Type I) peri-insular invasion with tumor cells directly touching the boundary, but not penetrating the isletItem Association of vitamin D receptor polymorphisms and type 1 diabetes susceptibility in children: a meta-analysis(BIOSCIENTIFICA LTD, 2017-01-01) Sahin, Ozlem Atan; Goksen, Damla; Ozpinar, Aysel; Serdar, Muhittin; Onay, HuseyinBackground: There have been studies focused on FokI, BsmI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and susceptibility to type 1 diabetes mellitus with controversial results. Methods: This present study is a meta-analysis investigating the association between FokI, ApaI, TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms of VDR gene and type 1 DM in children. A literature search was performed using Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane and PubMed. Any study was considered eligible for inclusion if at least one of FokI, ApaI, TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms was determined, and outcome was type 1 DM at pediatric age. Results: A total of 9 studies comprising 1053 patients and 1017 controls met the study inclusion criteria. The pooled odds ratios (ORs) of the FokI, ApaI, TaqI and BsmI polymorphisms were combined and calculated. Forest plots and funnel plots of the OR value distributions were drawn. Our meta-analysis has demonstrated statistically significant associations between DM1 and VDR genotypes, BsmIBB (P < 0.05), BsmIBb, (P < 0.05), BsmIbb (P < 0.05), TaqITT (P < 0.05) and TaqItt (P < 0.05) in children. Conclusion: The results indicated that BsmIBB, BsmIBb and TaqItt polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of type 1 DM, whereas BsmIbb and TaqITT had protective effect for type 1 DM in children.Item Did blood transfusion increase mortality in patients with diabetes undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
