  • study of magnesium Glycosylated Hemoglobin and lipid profile in diabetic retinopathy
    Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2004
    Co-Authors: Ishrat Kareem, S A Jaweed, J S Bardapurkar, V P Patil
    Abstract:

    The present study was undertaken in 100 subjects, 30 diabetics without complication (group I), 40 diabetics with retinopathy (group II) and 30 non diabetic as normal control group (group III). Blood sugar levels, magnesium, cholesterol and triglyceride were analyzed from plasma and serum. The results were correlated with degree of diabetic control from the levels of Glycosylated Hemoglobin. Serum magnesium levels in group II were found to be significantly lowered than in group I. There was also significant difference in magnesium levels of group I and group III. We found a significant correlation between the Glycosylated Hemoglobin and magnesium levels in our study.

  • QUANTIFYING RISK OF PENILE PROSTHESIS INFECTION WITH ELEVATED Glycosylated Hemoglobin
    The Journal of urology, 1998
    Co-Authors: Steven K. Wilson, Culley C. Carson, Mario A. Cleves, John R. Delk
    Abstract:

    AbstractPurpose: Elevation of Glycosylated Hemoglobin above levels of 11.5 mg.% has been considered a contraindication to penile prosthesis implantation in diabetic patients. We determine the predictive value of Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1C in penile prosthesis infections in diabetic and nondiabetic patients to confirm or deny this prevalent opinion.Materials and Methods: We conducted a 2-year prospective study of 389 patients, including 114 diabetics, who underwent 3-piece penile prosthesis implantation. All patients had similar preoperative preparation without regard to diabetic status, control or Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1C level. Risk of infection was statistically analyzed for diabetics versus nondiabetics, Glycosylated Hemoglobin A1C values above and below 11.5 mg.%, insulin dependent versus oral medication diabetics, and fasting blood sugars above and below 180 mg.%.Results: Prosthesis infections developed in 10 diabetics (8.7%) and 11 nondiabetics (4.0%). No increased infection rate was observed in...
