Introduction: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly due to chronic complications development, most commonly cardiovascular diseases. Among markers for assessment of clinical and subclinical signs of cardiovascular disease, the presence of arteriosclerosis, and stiffening of arterial walls as indicated by the arterial stiffness, was proven to be an important predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity...

The expression pattern of Notch2 and Dab1 in the postnatal kidney of Dab1-/- mice
Larissa Gudelj Ensor
Objectives: The expression and localization of Dab1 adaptor proteins and Notch2 receptors in the nephrons of yotari (Dab1 -/-), heterozygote (Dab1 +/-), and Wildtype (Dab1 +/+) mice was analyzed to further develop their suggested importance in mammal kidneys overall, but also their significance particularly in yotari mice nephrons. Materials and methods: yotari, heterozygote and wildtype mice were sacrificed on the 4th postnatal day. Paraffin embedded kidney tissue sections were analyzed...
The impact of double standards and openness to redefine stigma in sexual relationships of medical students
The impact of double standards and openness to redefine stigma in sexual relationships of medical students
Marino Lukenda
Sexual health, per the WHO, includes physical, emotional, mental, and social aspects of sexuality. It stresses a positive and respectful approach to sexual relationships and rights. However, public health often emphasizes the negative outcomes and risks, neglecting the important aspects of sexual well-being and pleasure. Integrating these aspects into public health is crucial for addressing inequalities and improving overall sexual health and justice. OBJECTIVES: This research explores how...

The impact of location and amount of lung metastases in primary colorectal and renal cell cancer on prognosis : a retrospective observational study
Melissa Tanja Wieloch
Objectives: Aim of this study was to figure out whether localization and amount of lung metastases can influence the prognosis of the disease. Materials and methods: In this retrospective observational study all patients with newly diagnosed primary colorectal or renal cell carcinoma and only lung metastases administered to Regiomed clinic association between January 1, 2018 and February 1, 2022 were included. In total 35 patients were classified into groups according to primary type of...
The impact of pain and bodyweight on the time in post-anesthesia recovery in adult patients : a retrospective cross-sectional study
The impact of pain and bodyweight on the time in post-anesthesia recovery in adult patients : a retrospective cross-sectional study
Philipp Groetsch
Objectives: This study primarily aimed to find a relationship between the length of stay until discharge in the post-anesthetic care unit and the BMI of patients, as well as the first postsurgical pain level they expressed after various forms of surgery. Furthermore, we sought to compare these outcome values with various demographic and perioperative data. Materials and methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was applied, analyzing the anesthesia record sheets of 283 patients...

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the outcome of myocardial infarctions
Tom Witthauer
Objectives: The objective of this study was to examine whether the social, political, and medical changes during the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic had a significant impact on the outcome of myocardial infarctions. Materials and Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective analytical cross-sectional study. Data was acquired from the REGIOMED hospital in Coburg, Germany. 999 data sets of patients were used. In the time frame from the 2nd of March 2020 and the 28th of...
