In untreated women, the main risk factors for endometrial carcinoma are age, obesity, nulliparity, late menopause (and possibly early menarche), the Stein-Leventhal syndrome, exposure to exogenous estrogens, radiation, and certain systemic diseases, including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypothyroidism, and arthritis (SED-14, 1451) (88). Certain of these risk factors indicate that an altered endocrine state with increased estrogen stimulation is a predisposing cause, and one might thus in theory expect estrogen treatment (and notably hormonal replacement therapy) to increase the risk (SEDA-22, 466). 

Finally, insulin resistance is present in disease states other than type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients with conditions such as hypertension, obesity, and certain hyperlipidemias are also found to have decreased tissue sensitivity to circulating insulin.19,72 As discussed in Chapter 21, a combination of these abnormalities is often described as metabolic syndrome, or syndrome X.127,128 Metabolic syndrome occurs when insulin resistance, high blood pressure, abdominal... 

The contraindications to ephedrine are angle-closure glaucoma, patients anesthetized with cyclopropane or halothane, cases in which vasopressor drugs are contraindicated (e.g., thyrotoxicosis, diabetes mellitus, hypertension during pregnancy), or treatment with monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitor therapy. 

Depression and Diabetes Mellitus. Patients with chronic medical illness have a high prevalence of major depressive disorder [59], Depression may be three times more prevalent in the diabetic population when compared with its occurrence in nondiabetic individuals [60], In addition, microalbuminuria, hypertension, and hyperinsulinemia are another three independent risk factors for cardiac disease in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) [61], Nosadini et al. showed that peripheral insulin resistance, hypertension, microalbuminuria, and lipid abnormalities are associated with NIDDM [61], Further, Helkala et al. determined that cognitive and memory dysfunction are associated with NIDDM and explored the disease s relationship with depression, metabolic control, and serum lipids. The results showed that the NIDDM patients had impaired control of their learning processes [62], Obviously, future research examining the causal relationship of depression to the onset on diabetes and the effect of depression on the natural course of diabetes is needed [60]. 

Delirium occurred in a 69-year-old white man with a history of depression, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and atherosclerotic disease who was treated with intravenous gatifloxacin 400 mg/day (276). After the first dose of gatifloxacin he had numerous hallucinations and the symptoms got worse after each dose. After withdrawal no further hallucinations occurred. 

In the United States, obesity has become an epidemic, with nearly 20% of adults classified as obese. Obesity is identified as a risk factor in a host of pathological conditions including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. The cause of obesity is quite simple in the vast majority of cases—more food is consumed than is needed, and the excess calories are stored as fat. 

Even though the mortality from coronary heart disease has declined recently, atherosclerosis and related vascular disorders still are the leading cause of death in the Western world. The etiology of this disease is multifactorial, with hyperlipidemia, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and obesity being well-established risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis. Dietary fat affects plasma lipids, lipoproteins, and vascular inflammation and, thus, is linked to atherosclerosis. 

Risk factors for this adverse effect are pre-existing renal disease, age over 65 years, dehydration, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and a high infusion rate (SEDA-22, 345) (10,13,32,43,86,92). To minimize the risk of renal insufficiency, it has been suggested that immunoglobulin should be diluted with hypotonic fluid, that the infusion rate should be reduced, and that dosing intervals should be increased (89). Patients should be adequately hydrated and potent diuretics should be avoided (10).

The most commonly reported causes of ESKD, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and glomerulonephritis account for about 80% of all kidney transplants (see Chap. 44). Patients with medical conditions such as unstable cardiac disease or recently diagnosed malignancy, for whom the risk of surgery or chronic immunosuppression would be greater than the risks associated with chronic dialysis, are excluded from consideration for transplantation. 

Ritodrine is contraindicated in antepartnm hemorrhage, which demands immediate delivery eclampsia and severe preeclampsia intrauterine fetal death chorioamnionitis maternal cardiac disease pulmonary hypertension maternal hyperthyroidism and uncontrolled maternal diabetes mellitus. Overdosage with ritodrine may canse tachycardia (maternal and fetal), palpitations, cardiac arrhythmia, hypotension, dyspnea, nervousness, tremor, nansea, and vomiting. 

Because this drug contracts smooth muscle, it is contraindicated in patients with vascular disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or asthma. 

A 60-year-old man with diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and renal insufficiency requiring dialysis developed loss of vision in his right eye. Both eyes had retinal microaneurysms and punctate hemorrhages due to diabetic retinopathy. There was polypoidal choroidal... 

Obesity is associated with a number of health risks, such as heart disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, gallbladder disease, and some types of cancer (Carey etal., 1997 Lamon-Fava eta/., 1996 Rimm eta/., 1995 Mokdad eta/., 2001). The importance of reducing body fat accumulation in the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases has been noted by many experiments and surveys. Clinical studies have suggested that weight loss in the range of 5-10% of initial weight can confer significant reductions in obesity-related disorders. 

Criteria for initiation of drug treatment now take into consideration total cardiovascular risk rather than blood pressure alone, such that treatment is now recommended for persons whose blood pressure is in the normal range but still bear a heavy burden of cardiovascular risk factors. Thus, the role of simultaneous reduction of multiple cardiovascular risk factors in improving prognosis in hypertensive patients is stressed. In addition, more aggressive blood pressure goals are recommended for hypertensive patients with comorbid conditions such as diabetes mellitus or renal insufficiency. 

This drug is contraindicated in individuals who have had previous hypersensitivity reactions to pentamidine isethionate. Pentamidine isethionate is used cautiously in patients with hypertension, hypotension, hyperglycemia, renal impairment, diabetes mellitus, liver impairment, bone marrow depression, pregnancy (Category C), or lactation. 

There are few absolute contraindications for deep peeling, with the exception of physical or mental instability. During pregnancy and lactation any cosmetic intervention is considered to be undesirable. We have safely peeled patients with hypertension, diabetes mellitus, thrombocytopenia, thyroid malfunction, etc, as long as their disease is well controlled and stable. All pa-... 

Undernutrition occuts in two extreme fotms matas-mus in adults and children and kwashiotkot in children. Overnutrition from excess enetgy intake is associated with diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, cancer, and hypertension.

To reduce mortality, administration of an aldosterone antagonist, either eplerenone or spironolactone, should be considered within the first 2 weeks following MI in all patients who are already receiving an ACE inhibitor (or ARB) and have an EF of equal to or less than 40% and either heart failure symptoms or diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.3 Aldosterone plays an important role in heart failure and in MI because it promotes vascular and myocardial fibrosis, endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, sodium retention, potassium and magnesium loss, and arrhythmias. Aldosterone antagonists have been shown in experimental and human studies to attenuate these adverse effects.70 Spironolactone decreases all-cause mortality in patients with stable, severe heart failure.71... 

GR is a 68-year-old African-American male who presents to the emergency department with dizziness and loss of speech that began 1 hour ago. His past medical history is significant for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia, and benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Social history is significant for smoking 1 pack per day for the last 38 years. Current medications include metoprolol 50 mg twice daily, insulin NPH 20 units twice daily, and simvastatin 20 mg daily. 

A 73-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, gout, osteoarthritis, and hypertension is hospitalized with possible urosepsis. He recently completed a 10-day course of antibiotics and was ready for discharge when his morning labs showed an increase in BUN and serum creatinine concentration. Upon examination, he was found to have 2+ pitting edema, weight gain, nausea, elevated blood pressure, and rales on chest auscultation. 

Differential diagnoses include diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome because patients with these conditions share several similar characteristics with Cushing s syndrome patients (e.g., obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hyperglycemia, and insulin resistance). In women, the presentations of hirsutism, menstrual abnormalities, and insulin resistance are similar to those of polycystic ovary syndrome. Cushing s syndrome can be differentiated from these conditions by identifying the classic signs and symptoms of truncal obesity, "moon faces" with facial plethora, a "buffalo hump" and supraclavicular fat pads, red-purple skin striae, and proximal muscle weakness.
