Pathogenetic pancreoprotection in diabetic ketoacidosis

Cardiologist, Endocrinologist, General practitioner

Diabetes is an important medical and social problem, as it develops in each of the 11 adult inhabitants of the planet. In the complicated course of diabetes mellitus, ketoacidosis develops, which is the most common manifestation of acute hyperglycemia in people with both types of diabetes mellitus. The purpose of this study is to systematize and summarize current scientific data on clinically proven methods of drug correction of diabetic ketoacidosis.

The article presents scientific data on the current state and prospects for the use of effective and safe means of pathogenetic correction of patients with diabetic ketoacidosis: Xylat® as an insulin-independent energy source reduces the load on the pancreas; use of Tivortin® provides a protective effect on the vessels of the pancreas and increases insulin sensitivity in insulin resistance.

Keywords: diabetes mellitus, ketoacidosis, pancreatoprotection, L-arginine, xylitol.

Pilot study of anxiolytic drug Lodixem in patients with acute decompensed heart failure

Anxiety disorders often accompany the course of cardiovascular disease and become more pronounced as they progress. Anxiety is also a frequent companion of patients with heart failure (HF). In a recent meta-analysis of 38 studies by K. Easton et al. (2015) estimated that 32% of patients with HF experience an increased level of anxiety, and...

What should a practitioner know about endothelial dysfunction?

Abstract: In this paper updated value of endothelial dysfunction (ED) in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular system diseases. Its main manifestation is a violation of the bioavailability of nitric oxide (NO). The only substrate for NO synthesis is L-arginine. Representative of this class of drugs is Tivortin containing the optimal daily concentration of L-arginine. Key words:...
