The study was done on 70 patients with type 2 diabetes and 30 healthy subjects. Results indicated that: fasting plasma insulin concentration in type 2 diabetes was higher than this in healthy subjects (18.26+/-12.24 mU/l versus 4.37+/-2.61 mU/l). Insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes is closely related to obesity, hypertension and dyslipemia

32 patients with the chronic renal failure treated by the periodical hemodialysis (male: 11, female: 21, average age (45)). A study aimed to evaluate the surgery for A-V fistula to make the entry to vascular which supplies fully the blood for hemodialysis. The results have shown that the rate of the complications (infection, bleeding, embolism, vasculitis; cardiac failure) was low, the technique supplied fully the blood flow (180 - 300 ml/h) and facilitate the hemodialysis process.

Objectives: The prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has increased, particularly among individuals who have recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Health literacy is considered a “social vaccine” that helps people respond effectively to the pandemic. We aimed to investigate the association between long COVID-19 and PTSD, and to examine the modifying role of health literacy in this association. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at 18 hospitals and health centers in Vietnamfrom December 2021 to October 2022. We recruited 4,463 individuals who had recovered from COVID-19 infection for at least 4 weeks. Participants provided information about their sociodemographics, clinical parameters, health-related behaviors, health literacy (usingthe 12-item short-form health literacy scale), long COVID-19 symptoms and PTSD (Impact Event Scale-Revised score of 33 or higher). Logistic regression models were used to examine associations and interactions. Results: Out of the study sample, 55.9% had long COVID-19 symptoms, and 49.6% had PTSD.Individuals with long COVID-19 symptoms had a higher likelihood of PTSD (odds ratio [OR], 1.86; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.63–2.12; p < 0.001). Higher health literacy was associated with a lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.97–0.99; p = 0.001). Compared to those without long COVID-19 symptoms and the lowest health literacy score, those with long COVID-19 symptoms and a 1-point health literacy increment had a 3% lower likelihood of PTSD (OR, 0.97; 95% CI, 0.96–0.99; p = 0.001). Conclusion Health literacy was found to be a protective factor against PTSD and modified the negative impact of long COVID-19 symptoms on PTSD.
