Kidney and Cardiovascular Effectiveness of Empagliflozin Compared to Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Placebo-controlled trials of sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) demonstrate kidney and cardiovascular benefits for people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We used real-world data to compare the kidney and cardiovascular effectiveness of empagliflozin to dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i), a commonly prescribed antiglycemic medication, in a diverse population with and without CKD. Using electronic health record data from 20 large US health systems, we leveraged propensity overlap weighting to compare outcomes for empagliflozin and DPP4i initiators with T2D between 2016 and ...

Pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum and pneumomediastinum: rare complications of perforation peritonitis: a case report
ConclusionsThis case report highlights the clinical novelty of gas extravasation complications in perforated diverticulitis. The unique triad of pneumoperitoneum, pneumoretroperitoneum, and pneumomediastinum in a 74-year-old female underscores the diagnostic challenges and the importance of advanced imaging techniques. The successful collaboration between radiologists and surgeons facilitated a timely and accurate diagnosis, enabling a minimally invasive surgical approach. This case contributes to the understanding of atypical presentations of diverticulitis and emphasizes the significance of interdisciplinary teamwork in ...
