Metabolomic signature of type 1 diabetes-induced sensory loss and nerve damage in diabetic neuropathy [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Diabetic-induced peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a diabetic late complication. The molecular mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of nerve damage & sensory loss remain largely unclear. Recently, alterations in metabolic flux have gained attention a basis for organ damage in diabetes; however, peripheral sensory neurons have not been adequately ...

Clinical role of intraperitoneal chemotherapy in patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma concomitant with occult peritoneal dissemination: A multicenter retrospective study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The effectiveness of intraperitoneal chemotherapy using paclitaxel (i.p.‐PTX) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients with peritoneal dissemination remains elusive. This study indicated that the i.p.‐PTX therapy may improve survival in selected patients with PDAC, in particular those with occult peritoneal dissemination.

Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathies

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1987
Diabetic peripheral neuropathies are a group of heterogeneous syndromes with considerable morbidity. At least 50% of diabetic patients develop one or several of these neuropathies within 25 years after the diagnosis. In recent years several pathogenetic mechanisms have been proposed, with the newest findings suggesting a link between several of these ...
