Type 2 diabetes mellitus and heart failure are closely related, patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of developing heart failure, and those with heart failure are at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Although no specific randomized clinical trials have been conducted to test the effect of cardiovascular therapies (d...

Aggregation of the human islets amyloid polypeptide, or hIAPP, is linked to β-cell death in type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Different pancreatic β-cell environmental variables such as pH, insulin and metal ions play a key role in controlling the hIAPP aggregation. Since insulin and hIAPP are co-secreted, it is known from numerous studies that ins...

The discovery of insulin by Banting and Best marked 100 years in 2021, and it was a life-saving treatment modality for type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin is a natural hormone that has been used extensively in T2DM patients since its discovery. Currently, insulin analogs are also available in different formulations for T2DM management, overco...
Purpose: Factors associated with adverse outcomes in ICU patients with type II (T2DM) are poorly defined. The main goal of this study is to determine the impact of pre-existing T2DM on 90-day mortality post ICU admission.Material: Post-hoc analysis from the FROG-ICU cohort. All patients admitted to ICU who were ventilated and/or treated by a vasoac...

As the surging epidemics with significant disability, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with microvascular complications are widely prevalent, sharing considerable similarities in putative pathomechanism. Despite a spurt of researches on the biology, knowledge about their interactive mechanisms is still rudimentary. Appl...

Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are promising candidates for tissue regeneration and disease treatment. However, long-term in vitro passaging leads to stemness loss of MSCs, resulting in failure of MSC therapy. This study investigated whether the combination of melatonin and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) was superi...

Background Good adherence by physicians to treatment guidelines for type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) could improve therapy outcome for patients. In this retrospective, cross-sectional study, we assessed physicians’ adherence to evidence-based guidelines for T2DM management in adult patients (aged ≥18 years) with either confirmed atherosclerotic car...

Type II Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are at the risk of developing cerebrovascular diseases, often contributed by altered cerebral haemodynamics. We present a systematic review of studies on cerebral haemodynamics assessment using transcranial Doppler (TCD) in T2DM. A systematic review of the published articles in the English language between ...

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic carbohydrate metabolism disorder, which could develop a series of complications and thus lead to poor quality of life or even mortality. Antrodia camphorata is a rare parasitic fungus and has been proven to be effective for treating type II diabetes. This study aims to evaluate the anti-diabetic activities of A. camph...
