Magnesium (Mg), an essential mineral abundantly present within the human body, is intricately involved in a multitude of biochemical processes vital for maintaining health and overall well-being. This review aims to delve into multifaceted impact Mg on health, exploring its physiological functions, dietary sources, potential implications deficiency or insufficiency. plays pivotal role various processes, including energy metabolism, muscle contraction, protein synthesis, DNA synthesis. It acts as cofactor more than 300 enzymatic reactions, facilitating conversion adenosine triphosphate (ATP) diphosphate (ADP) production. Moreover, proper functioning ion channels, particularly calcium influencing nerve transmission relaxation. naturally found wide array foods, with green leafy vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes being rich sources. Additionally, certain fortified foods supplements provide supplemental intake. Deficiency insufficiency mg can have profound health. Inadequate levels been associated increased risks chronic diseases, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases. Furthermore, may manifest symptoms such weakness, fatigue, tremors, irregular heartbeat. Numerous studies elucidated relationship between intake risk developing For instance, epidemiological evidence suggests that higher reduced possibly due vasodilatory effects influence blood pressure regulation mechanisms. Similarly, has implicated pathophysiology contributing insulin resistance impaired glucose metabolism. adequate crucial bone density reducing mineralization Understanding importance physiology underscores significance ensuring through diet supplementation. Healthcare professionals play critical educating individuals about incorporating mg-rich their diets considering supplementation when necessary, at those indispensable far-reaching Its involvement Ensuring preventing deficiency-related complications Further research warranted elucidate optimal strategies therapeutic applications disease prevention management.

Abstract Metformin is best known as a foundational therapy for type 2 diabetes but also used in other contexts clinical medicine with number of emerging and potential indications. Many its beneficial effects may be mediated by modest on weight loss insulin sensitivity, it has multiple mechanisms action.

Hemoglobin A1c (A1C) is widely used for the diagnosis and management of diabetes. Accurate measurement A1C necessary optimal clinical value. Assay standardization has markedly improved accuracy consistency testing. Devices to measure at point care (POC) are commercially available, allowing rapid results when patient seen. In this review, we describe how testing was achieved, leading high-quality in laboratories. We address use POC situations summarize advantages disadvantages emphasize importance considering limitations these devices following correct procedures ensure that accurate obtained patients.

Contraception and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in women with prior gestational diabetes mellitus

Contraception, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 110860 - 110860

Опубликована: Фев. 1, 2025

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasing concern among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Hormonal contraceptives may affect metabolism, potentially NAFLD risk. This study examined the association between different contraceptive methods and risk approximately one year postpartum in prior GDM. We conducted prospective cohort involving 130 categorized these into three groups based on their use: no contraception or non-hormonal (n = 86); progestin-only (POCs), including pills (POPs), depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA), implants 29); combined oral (COCs) 15). At postpartum, we measured controlled attenuation parameter to assess hepatic steatosis diagnose NAFLD. used multivariable logistic regression analyses evaluate The POC group had highest median (307 dB/m) prevalence (55.2%), followed by (237 dB/m; 30.2%), lowest values COC (213 13.3%). POCs, particularly POPs DMPA, significantly increased compared (adjusted odds ratio 4.28, 95% confidence interval 1.55-11.85). In contrast, COCs did not show significant risk, whereas showed such association. These findings have important implications for counseling

Comprehensive Quantification of Fetal Cardiac Function in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Using Advanced Fetal HQ Imaging Techniques

Echocardiography, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 42(4)

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2025

ABSTRACT Objective Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a transient metabolic disorder associated with hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and endothelial dysfunction. Although GDM typically resolves after delivery, it can have long‐term effects on both maternal fetal health, including potential cardiovascular complications for the offspring. This study aims to evaluate impact of hyperglycemia cardiac function using advanced HQ (fetal heart quantification) imaging technology. Methods A prospective was conducted from July 2019 November 2024, involving 303 pregnant women in their second third trimesters, 105 (well‐controlled) 198 healthy controls. Fetal assessed imaging, two‐dimensional speckle‐tracking echocardiography technique. Measurements global longitudinal strain (GLS), fractional area change (FAC), shortening (FS) were obtained left (LV) right (RV) ventricles. Correlations between factors (BMI, HbA1c, triglycerides) parameters also evaluated. Intra‐ inter‐rater reliability all measurements. Results The group exhibited significantly lower LV GLS compared control (−21.5 ± 5.5% vs. −24.5 4.9%, p = 0.000), indicating impaired myocardial deformation. No significant differences found RV GLS, FAC, or ejection fraction (EF). Significant 24‐segment FS values observed RV, showing across most segments, suggesting subclinical Reliability analysis demonstrated high intra‐ consistency measurements, excellent intra‐rater (ICC 0.912) strong 0.725). HbA1c triglycerides negatively correlated that may affect ventricular function. Conclusion demonstrates function, particularly deformation, as measured by FS. Maternal factors, triglycerides, are linked these alterations. reliable method assessing provides valuable insights into fetus.
