Topic: Nutrition/Diet for HDL
HDL is a lipoprotein which has anti-atherogenic property by reversing cholesterol transport from the peripheral tissues to liver. Low HDL-cholesterol as well as high LDL-cholesterol is associated with the development of coronary heart diseases. The dietary and nutritional factors could influence on HDL metabolism, thus we can make Dietary Reference to prevent coronary heart diseases. Welcome any types of papers (Original Article, Review Article, Short Communication, Editorial (Expert Opinion), Case Report, Letter to the Editor) about the effects of “Nutrition and Diet” on HDL metabolism.

Serologic Screening of Celiac Disease in Patients With Type 1 DiabetesType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disorder associated with increased risk of additional autoimmune diseases (ADs) as celiac disease (CD). The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of CDs in a population of diabetic children along with the presence of any suggestive clinical signs and symptoms of CD and any effects of CD on the patients’ diabetic control and growth.

Extensive experimental investigations in animal models of diabetes mellitus have led to the proposal that a deficient activity of mitochondrial flavine adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-linked glycerophosphate dehydrogenase represents a far-from-uncommon, albeit not invariable, determinant of pancreatic islet B-cell insulin secretory dysfunction. Full Text | Evaluation of Bone Turnover in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of changes in male and female’s body with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on the state of the bone mineral density and the metabolic rate, and to determinate the direction of changes in serum markers of bone remodeling and bone mineral density in both sexes due to this disease.

Abdominal Pain in Diabetic Ketoacidosis: Beyond the Obvious
Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a medical emergency characterized by hyperglycemia, high anion gap metabolic acidosis and elevated circulating ketone bodies resulting from severe impairment of insulin secretion and/or action. Besides dehydration, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain is also considered to be a cardinal clinical feature of DKA. Diagnosis relies on biochemical criteria, and disease severity on clinical and laboratory findings. Radiological investigation is not standard of care of DKA despite being required in specific situations. Full Text
