RESUMO

In adulthood, individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus may develop a condition of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. However, subclinical changes to the heart in diabetes are likely to occur prior to the clinical presentation. This cross-sectional study aimed to compare left atrial function by echocardiography between 43 individuals with type 1 diabetes and 43 healthy controls, aged 10-30 years. All participants underwent echocardiography and 2D speckle tracking measurements for left atrial phase function parameters. Physical capacity was assessed by exercise test on a bicycle. Results showed that participants with type 1 diabetes had significantly lower left atrial function parameters than healthy controls (p < 0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between HbA1c means and reservoir and conduit strain (p < 0.05) and individuals with BMI < 30 showed a lower left atrial stiffness (p < 0.05). Individuals with type 1 diabetes and a higher physical capacity did not differ from their healthy peers. Results indicate that lower HbA1c levels, BMI < 30 and a higher physical capacity are favourable in terms of left atrial function in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Left atrial strain by echocardiography might become a new important tool in assessing heart function in T1DM.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Autonomic neuropathy (AN) commonly arises as a long-term complication in diabetes mellitus and can be diagnosed from heart rate variability (HRV), calculated from electrocardiogram recordings. Psychosocial stress also affects HRV and could be one of several confounders for cardiac AN. The present work investigated the impact of psychosocial stress on HRV in individuals with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and assessed the use of salivary cortisol as a biomarker for psychosocial stress in this context. METHODS: A total of 167 individuals 6-60 years old (113 with T1DM and 54 healthy controls) underwent 24-hr ECG recordings with HRV analysis. Salivary cortisol was sampled thrice during the registration day. Perceived psychosocial stress along with other factors of possible importance for the interpretation of HRV was documented in a diary. RESULTS: Heart rate variability (high-frequency power during sleep) was reduced (p < .05) with older age, longer diabetes duration, higher mean glucose levels, physical inactivity, and perceived psychosocial stress. Salivary cortisol levels in the evening were increased (p < .05) in women in ovulation phase, in individuals with preceding hypoglycemia or with hyperglycemia. The amplitude of salivary cortisol was reduced (p < .05) with the presence of perceived psychosocial stress, but only in adult healthy controls, not in individuals with diabetes. CONCLUSION: Psychosocial stress might be a confounder for reduced HRV when diagnosing cardiac AN in T1DM. Salivary cortisol is, however, not a useful biomarker for psychosocial stress in diabetes since the physiological stress of both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia seems to overrule the effect of psychosocial stress on cortisol.

RESUMO

Mycobacterium avium hominissuis is the most important causative agent of chronic nontuberculous lymphadenitis in children. Despite a ubiquitous occurrence of the bacteria in the environment, the disease is a rare entity, and so far no source of infection has been formally identified. The current state of knowledge regarding possible sources of M. avium hominissuis, especially where children are concerned, is summarized here. An analysis of the seasonal variation of M. avium lymphadenitis in children leads to a new hypothesis regarding the probable source of infection of M. avium hominissuis, where global trade of alimentary products might be involved.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium avium is the principal etiologic agent of non-tuberculous lymphadenitis in children. It is also a known pathogen for birds and other animals. Genetic typing of M. avium isolates has led to a proposal to expand the set of subspecies to include M. avium subsp. hominissuis. Isolates associated with disease in humans belong to this subspecies. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from six healthy blood donors were stimulated in vitro with ten isolates of M. avium avium and 11 isolates of M. avium hominissuis followed by multiplex bead array quantification of cytokines in supernatants. M. avium hominissuis isolates induced significantly more IL-10 and significantly less IL-12p70, TNF, IFN-γ and IL-17 when compared to M. avium avium isolates. All strains induced high levels of IL-17, but had very low levels of IL-12p70. CONCLUSION/SIGNIFICANCE: The strong association between M. avium subsp. hominissuis and disease in humans and the clear differences in the human immune response to M. avium subsp. hominissuis compared to M. avium subsp. avium isolates, as demonstrated in this study, suggest that genetic differences between M. avium isolates play an important role in the pathogenicity in humans.

RESUMO

Mycobacterium avium is the most common pathogen in children presenting as non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis. In Sweden non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection is a notifiable disease. The goal of our study was to determine the annual incidence of M. avium infection in Swedish children, 1998-2003, and describe clinical features related to age and treatment of children with M. avium lymphadenitis. To do this, we retrospectively analysed patient records of 162 children less than 7 y of age from the entire country with culture-verified M. avium disease. The incidence of M. avium infection in Sweden was lower in 2000-2003 than in 1998-1999. Young children (

RESUMO

We studied Mycobacterium avium lymphadenopathy in 183 Swedish children (<7 years of age) from 1998 through 2003. Seasonal variation in the frequency of the disease, with a peak in October and a low point in April, suggests cyclic environmental factors. We also found a higher incidence of the disease in children who live close to water.

RESUMO

Cervical lymphadenitis is the main manifestation of Mycobacterium avium infection in immunocompetent children. Exposure to birds has been discussed as a source of infection. To clarify from where children acquire the infection, M. avium isolates from different origins were analysed with restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) on insertion sequence IS1245, and compared by computer cluster correlation analysis. This molecular epidemiological tool has previously revealed a distinction between multiband profiles found mainly in strains from humans, and a 3-band/bird type profile in strains isolated mainly from birds. 32 isolates from children were compared with 28 isolates from adults and 45 isolates from animals. We found that 67% of the animal isolates had the bird type profile, also found in 1 sputum isolate from an adult. Strains from children showed only multiband profiles that did not differ significantly from profiles of isolates from adults. All but 2 bird isolates showed the bird type profile. Neither of the remaining 2, which had multiband profiles, clustered with the isolates from children. Our results indicate that the true reservoir of M. avium is unknown. Thus the question of whether or not M. avium can be incriminated as a zoonotic disease remains unanswered.
