Binge eating disorder (BED) and night eating syndrome (NES) are common eating disorders (EDs) in individuals with diabetes type 2 (DT2). They worsen metabolic control, have a negative impact on physical and mental health and reduce quality of life. The roles of appetite-controlling hormones – leptin and ghrelin – is not clear enough in EDs and need to be investigated in order to establish new approaches and markers of EDs. Aim: To assess the difference in leptin and ghrelin levels in DT2 patients with and without EDs. 57 patients with DT2 were involved in the study. After physical examination and screening
for EDs, blood samples for leptin and ghrelin measuring were obtained.
Results: 19 participants (33.3%) were screened positively for ED (BE or NES). Leptin levels were higher in participants with ED (p<0.05). Conversely, ghrelin levels were lower in those with BE or NES (p<0.05). Leptin level is increased in DT2 individuals with BED and NES, whereas ghrelin is decreased. Leptin and ghrelin alterations maintain emotional eating, increase the frequency of binge and night eating episodes. In screening for EDs, assessing leptin and
ghrelin levels will facilitate obesity reduction and improve metabolic control in diabetic patients.
Summary
Aim: Improving the quality of diagnosis and treatment orthodontic pathology in patient with temporomandibular joint disorders.
Materials and methods: Analysis – to determine objectives and study plan; clinical-diagnostic methods that include dental and radiological examination (to establish the clinical diagnosis of patients with temporomandibular disorders), electronic axiography (to determine the features of the movements of the articular heads of the mandible), instrumental study the models of jaws in the articulator (to diagnose the state of functional occlusion), statistical (to calculate averages and assess the probability of the results).
Results: After developed and implemented algorithm total dental rehabilitation we have eliminated functional disorders in the masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, completely restored the lost function of the masticatory apparatus.
Conclusions: Creation of occlusal relations, which are harmoniously combined with the function of masticatory muscles and temporomandibular joints, allowed to achieve the long period of remission, absence of the complications and recurrences of the disease in the near and long term. These points became the criterions that improved effectiveness of scientifically based individual treatment of mandibular disorders.
