Abstract
MAHIA VILAS, Miriam. Psychological, social and immunogenetic factors observed in diabetic patients with vascular complications. Rev Cubana Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2017, vol.18, n.1, pp. 93-106. ISSN 1682-0037.
The development of medicine, science and technical scientific devices allow explaining didactically and comprehensively, with a dialectical-materialist approach, complex phenomena and their interrelationships in different clinical conditions such as diabetes mellitus The objectives of this paper were to describe the interaction among psychological, social, and immunogenetic factors in diabetic patients with vascular complications and to address how these factors are associated with immunosupression state of type 2 diabetic patients. For this purpose, worked with PubMed, MedLine, SciELO, EBSCO databases and scientific articles published in 2011-2015 journals were consulted. A number of papers in Spanish, English and French languages were reviewed. The dialectic and permanent interrelation of the integrative function of the immune system with the nervous and endocrine systems, which is based on the relationship between psychic and phenomena, was analyzed. All this can only be fully understood when one takes into account man's interaction with the social environment as well as his relationship with nature, which is ultimately the core of their creative and transforming activity and particularly, the analysis of the practical implications for the clinical and scientific fields. The knowledge of the interactions among systems is imperative to understand homeostasis and dynamics of biochemical phenomena that occur in humans, both in the relationship between the biological and the psychic areas, and in the biological and the socio environmental areas, thus allowing scientific advances in this field for the development of more effective therapeutic and prevention methods.
