SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus, per se, is a global health concern, which is often accompanied by complications such as diabetic neuropathy. This prospective observational study purposed to assess the durations of spinal sensory block and motor blocks in individuals with and without diabetes mellitus who had undergone spinal anesthesia. METHODS: This study incorporated 80 cases, which were evenly divided into spinal sensory block without diabetes mellitus and spinal sensory block with diabetes mellitus. Various parameters were recorded at different time points, including heart rate, mean arterial blood pressure, SpO2, and spinal block characteristics. Notable measures included maximum spinal sensory block onset time, time to reach the 10th thoracic vertebra (T10), maximal spinal sensory block, time for Bromage scores, and block regression while controlling for age-related variations. RESULTS: Patients in the diabetic group exhibited extended block durations, with significant differences in heart rate noted at specific time points. Regarding the spinal block characteristics, the “maximum onset of SSB” and the “time to reach the T10” were more prolonged in the SSBwDM without significance. Maximum sensory spinal sensory block did not differ. However, some cases in the SSBwDM displayed blocks extending up to the T6. The times to achieve Bromage motor block scores 1–3 were shorter in SSBwDM and lost significance regarding age. Notably, the regression time was longer in SSBwDM, which held significance for both parameters. CONCLUSION: Diabetic cases commonly encounter prolonged block durations post-subarachnoid intervention, potentially linked to nerve sensitivity, age-related changes, and glycemic control. As such, attenuated local doses for diabetic neuropathic cases may enhance early mobilization, attenuate thromboembolic events, and expedite gastrointestinal recovery.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Back to the sources, postoperative nausea and vomiting, hypo- and hypertension, heart rate alterations, and hypoxemia due to laryngospasm might be considered perioperative complications. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at an Education and Research Hospital between January 2018 and June 2023. The study included a total of 437 cases of thyroid surgery. The demographic data such as age, sex, co-morbidities of the instances, hypotension, hypertension, bradycardia, hypoxemia, and postoperative nausea and vomiting, as well as laboratory data were obtained and analyzed. RESULTS: Of 437 cases, 334 (76%) were females and 103 (24%) were males, with a mean age of 51.83±11.91 years and 55.32±11.87 years, respectively. No statistical significance was realized between the complications, co-morbid diseases, and age. Notably, no liaison between the complications after awakening from the anesthesia and preoperative laboratory parameters was discerned. However, a high but no significant relationship was revealed between the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (P/L) in cases with hypoxemia and hypotension. Finally, no significance between laboratory values, bradycardia, hypertension, and postoperative nausea and vomiting was distinguished. CONCLUSION: We postulate that the so-called inflammatory biomarkers measured at the time of preoperative examination in the blood count concept selectively do not enrich for anticipating complications that arise in the perioperative echelon.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Colonic diverticulosis might be caused by low-fiber dietary habits, gastrointestinal motility disorders, and colonic wall resistance changes, which might also affect the upper gastrointestinal system mucosa. Therefore, the present study aims to answer whether the gastric histopathological findings of the cases with diverge from those without. METHODS: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 184 cases who underwent both upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures between January 2020 and December 2022. Notably, 84 cases were colonic diverticulosis, while the rest of the study group was control. Their demographic, laboratory, and histopathological findings were compared meticulously. RESULTS: The median ages for the colonic diverticulosis and control were 67.07±8.14 and 66.29±15.83 years, respectively, and no statistical difference concerning the age and gender distribution between them was recognized. The median levels of white blood cells, neutrophils, glucose, creatinine, and aspartate aminotransferase in colonic diverticulosis were significantly increased compared to control. As for pathological comparison, colonic diverticulosis had a higher prevalence of Helicobacter pylori (45.2 vs. 38%), while atrophy and intestinal metaplasia prevalence were nearly the same in the groups, without significance regarding Helicobacter pylori. CONCLUSION: Consequently, colonic diverticulosis should not be overlooked, particularly when the abovementioned laboratory parameters are augmented in a dyspeptic patient. A correlation might be raised between Helicobacter pylori and colonic diverticulosis. Eradication therapy might help attenuate the risk of colonic diverticulosis when Helicobacter pylori has emerged in a patient.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: Stroke is a chronic health problem that affects all areas of life. The presence of thyroid autoantibodies can augment the severity of stroke. The aim of this work is to investigate whether there is a relationship between the site of stroke involvement and the anti-thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO) or not. This is the first study in the English-language literature. METHODS: A total of 39 patients with a diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke were included, and the cases under 18 years of age with an infection and the ones with autoimmune diseases other than Hashimoto's thyroiditis were excluded from the study design. The patients’ age, gender, smoking status, comorbid conditions, and stroke localization in brain imaging were recorded. The region involving the anterior circulation area originating from the internal carotid artery was evaluated as anterior, and the region possessing the vertebrobasilar circulation area from the vertebral arteries was considered posterior involvement. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine (T4), triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), C-reactive protein (CRP), sedimentation, and anti-TPO were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS: As a consequence, gender distribution, smoking, comorbid conditions, TSH, T3, T4, triglyceride, HDL, LDL, CRP, and sedimentation did not differ significantly, while the age of the posterior-located stroke was lower than that of the cases with the anterior. The anti-TPO value was significantly lower in posterior-located strokes than in the anterior system. CONCLUSION: In summary, the anti-TPO value was recognized as higher in the anterior stroke localization. Thyroiditis and accompanying anti-TPO autoantibody positivity are conditions that should not be ignored by thyroidologists and thyroid-health providers.

SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: There is an increase in the prevalence of pre-gestational diabetes in the past decades, mainly due to the increase in the prevalence of obesity in the general population and consequently type 2 diabetes among women of reproductive age. METHODS: This study purposed to describe the delivery characteristics, pregnancy complications, and outcomes among women in Serbia with the pre-gestational type 2 diabetes in the past decade, as well as their pregnancy complications, deliveries, and neonatal outcomes. The study included data from all the pregnant women with pre-gestational type 2 diabetes in Belgrade, Serbia during the period between 2010 and 2020. The final sample consisted of 138 patients. RESULTS: More than half, i.e., 70 (50.7%) had a vaginal delivery, while 48 (34.8%) had elective and 20 (14.5%) had emergency caesarean sections. Throughout the period, there was 1 patient with preeclampsia (0.7%), 5 with pregnancy-induced hypertension (3.6%), 7 had newborns with small for gestational age (5.1%), 28 with macrosomia (20.3%), 12 (8.7%) had preterm births, and one-fifth, i.e., 28 (20.3%) of the newborns had Apgar score under 8. CONCLUSION: The present study revealed that women with type 2 diabetes in pregnancy have a significant burden of pregnancy complications, related to pregnancy, delivery, and newborns.
