Cancers, Vol. 16, Pages 1764: Endocrine Immune-Related Adverse Events Are Independent Predictors of Survival in Patients with Lung Cancer
Melpomeni Peppa Lung cancer (LC) is a serious health problem worldwide. Survival outcomes have improved over time due to the widespread use of novel therapeutic agents, including immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Endocrine immune-related adverse events (e-irAEs) are common in LC patients treated with ICIs. We performed a retrospective study of patients with LC who received treatment with ICIs at a tertiary referral center between January 2014 and October 2023. In total, 983 LC patients were included in the study. E-irAEs presented at a median time of 4.1 months and included hypothyroidism (15.6%), hyperthyroidism ...

Does Antibiotic Use Increase the Risk of Post-Transplantation Diabetes Mellitus? A Retrospective Study of Renal Transplant Patients
CONCLUSIONS In addition to age, BMI, and TAC concentration after RT, antibiotic use may be a novel factor affecting PTDM. The use of antibiotics may influence the development of PTDM.PMID:38685698 | DOI:10.12659/AOT.943282 (Source: Annals of Transplantation)

Basal Hyperglycemia Contributes More Than Fifty Percent to Time in Range in Pregnant Women with Type 1 Diabetes
CONCLUSIONS: Basal hyperglycemia was the major contributor to TIR during pregnancy. Along with controlling the postprandial hyperglycemia, pregnant women with T1DM who did not reach the target of TIR may benefit more from the optimization of insulin regimens focusing on reducing basal glucose.PMID:38686666 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae291 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Prediction and causal inference of hyperuricemia using gut microbiota
This study aimed to determine the relationship between HUA and GM. The microbiome of 224 men and 254 women aged 40 years was analyzed through next-generation sequencing and machine learning. We obtained GM data through 16S rRNA-based sequencing of the fecal samples, finding that alpha-diversity by Shannon index was significantly low in the HUA group. Linear discriminant effect size analysis detected a high abundance of the genera Collinsella and Faecalibacterium in the HUA and non-HUA groups. Based on light gradient boosting machine learning, we propose that HUA can be predicted with high AUC using four clinical characteri...

Modification of lipoprotein metabolism and function driving atherogenesis in diabetes
Atherosclerosis. 2024 Apr 17:117545. doi: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117545. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTType 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disease, characterized by raised blood glucose levels and impaired lipid metabolism resulting from insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. In diabetes, the peculiar plasma lipoprotein phenotype, consisting in higher levels of apolipoprotein B-containing lipoproteins, hypertriglyceridemia, low levels of HDL cholesterol, elevated number of small, dense LDL, and increased non-HDL cholesterol, results from an increased synthesis and impaired clearance ...

The current landscape for diabetes treatment: Preventing diabetes-associated CV risk
Atherosclerosis. 2024 Apr 23:117560. doi: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2024.117560. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDespite the risk of atherosclerosis has progressively declined over the past few decades, subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) continue to experience substantial excess of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)-related events. Therefore, there is urgent need to treat ASCVD disease in T2DM earlier, more intensively, and with greater precision. Many factors concur to increase the risk of atherosclerosis, and multifactorial intervention remains the basis for effective prevention or reduction of ather...
