Background: Magnesium (Mg++) deficiency is related with terrible glycemic control. Supplementation of Mg++ lowers blood sugar, improves insulin sensitivity and as a end result, diabetic complications inclusive of diabetic nephropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy are delayed. Objective: This study was designed to know the status of serum Mg++ in newly detected type 2 diabetic subjects. Methodology: The study was conducted at the Department of Laboratory Medicine (Clinical Pathology) in collaboration with BIRDEM General Hospital, Dhaka. In this study, serum magnesium level of one hundred twenty newly detected type 2 diabetic patients were measured. The test was achieved by biochemical auto analyzer (Siemens Dimension RL Max). Result: The mean magnesium level was 1.9±3.1 mg/dl with range from 1.5-2.4 mg/dl. Hypomagnesemia (Serum magnesium < 1.8 mg/dl) was documented in 36 (30%) patients with a female: male ratio of 5:7. 32(89.7%) patients had raised HbA1c in low magnesium group. 60 (71.0%) patients had raised HbA1c in normal magnesium group. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05) between two groups. Conclusion: Measurement of serum concentration of magnesium is easy and not expensive. Therefore, treatment with these trace elements should be started in all newly detected type 2 diabetic patients. Pulse Vol.16, 2024 P: 22-25

Introduction: The pulse wave analysis technology in the specialist SphygmoCor XCEL device has now been implemented in the CONNEQT Pulse device, which is a conventional sphygmomanometer suitable for home blood pressure…
Introduction: Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a blood pressure-independent measure of heart-ankle pulse wave velocity, is a relatively new indicator of arterial stiffness. The absolute value of the difference in…
Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) raises cardiovascular risk, but its link with the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients remains unclear. The aim of this study was to clarify…
Introduction: Aortic stiffness, assessed through carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. Measurements of PWV are based on the proper…
Background: /μL on two different examinations within a month of each other and/or a 20% or higher percentage of eosinophils in a bone marrow section, associated with organ damage. Rarely, neurological manifestations may…
BACKGROUND: The consumption of chocolate and cocoa has established cardiovascular benefits. Less is known about the effects of chocolate on arterial stiffness, a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease. The aim of…
Osteoid osteoma is a benign bone forming tumor of the growing skeleton that is most often seen in young men. It represents by pain and radiologic appearance of a nidus surrounded by osteosclerosis that occurs mostly in…
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is more efficient to handily assess arteriosclerosis than aortic PWV. The…
Molecular diagnostic (MDx) techniques have revolutionized the field of clinical diagnostics, providing several advantages over traditional microbial culture methods. The ability to perform multiplex molecular panel…
Background: Sarcomatoid carcinoma of the urinary bladder is very rare variety of transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) with a prominent component of spindle-shaped cell. The incidence rate of this tumor is 0.5 % of all…
