Filter by:Hypothesis: Moderate to severe acanthosis nigricans in people with T2D is associated with higher magnitude of complication than people who do not have acanthosis nigricans. Objectives: To correlate moderate to severe acanthosis nigricans with diabetes complication Methodology: T2DM patient will be recruited from endocrine OPD 1. Clinical History and Examination: 1. General Physical Examination: Height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, BMI, Blood Pressure, Hand grip. Acanthosis Nigricans. 2. Complications Assessment: Patient will be analysed for: Micro Vascular (a) Diabetic retinopathy (i) Mild NPDR (ii) Mod NPDR (iii) Macular Edema / CSME (b) Neuropathy (Mild/Mod/Severe) (c) Chronic Kidney Disease (i) Micro/Macro albumin urea (ii) Increased Creatinine (iii) Decreased eGFR Macro Vascular 1. Low ABI/PAD 2. CVD-MI/PTCA/CABG/Heart Failure 3. CVS-Stroke/ TIA/Carotid Blockage >50%
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to study patients referred for sleep study by in-lab polysomnography in the Jordan University Hospital and the Jordan Hospital. The main aims are: - To prospectively obtain demographic and clinical information of patients referred for a sleep study. - To determine the diagnostic value of facial discoloration as potential marker for obstructive sleep apnea to increase detection rate for the condition. - To establish a correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and vasovagal symptoms with resulting increased smoking tendency and study the effect of treatment on the disorders. - To determine the association between timing of appearance of obstructive sleep apnea symptoms and initiation of smoking.
The goal of this randomized intra-individual design with a split-side axillary approach is to comparing the efficacy of 0.025% tretinoin cream against a cream-based formulation in the treatment of axillary hyperpigmentation associated with acanthosis nigricans. The main questions it aims to answer are: - The efficacy of 0.025% tretinoin cream and cream based in the treatment of axillary hyperpigmentation associated with acanthosis nigricans. - The safety of 0.025% tretinoin cream and cream based in the treatment of axillary hyperpigmentation associated with acanthosis nigricans. Participants were randomly assigned to apply both 0.025% tretinoin cream and the cream-based product on opposing sides of the axillary region.
Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is increasing in its prevalence and is the most prevalent cutaneous manifestation in individuals with obesity. Insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia is the main pathophysiological mechanism of obesity-related AN. However, the effect of laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on insulin secretion pattern in Chinese morbidly obese patients with AN is unknown. In these study, the investigators aimed to explore the insulin secretion patterns in Chinese morbidly obese patients with Acanthosis nigricans (AN) and their alterations after LSG.
The prevalence of obesity in children is reaching epidemic proportions. Excess adiposity is more than just a cosmetic problem, having substantial metabolic consequences. Insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and frank diabetes are often seen in obese children. In this study the prevalence of impaired glucose (carbohydrate) tolerance in lean children with a family history of diabetes and obese children with acanthosis nigricans with or without a family history of diabetes mellitus will be studied.
