Blunt Abdominal Trauma in Pregnancy: Higher Rates of Severe Abdominal Injuries
DISCUSSION: BSOI occurred at a lower rate in PTPs compared to non-PTPs; however, contrary to the "cushion effect" observed in obese populations, pregnant women had a higher rate of severe abdominal injuries. These data support comprehensive evaluations for PTPs presenting after a MVC.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: IV (therapeutic).PMID:38676625 | DOI:10.1177/00031348241248790 (Source: The American Surgeon)

Effects of Metformin Therapy on Thyroid Volume and Functions in Patients with Newly Diagnosed Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Single-center Prospective Study
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that metformin treatment significantly reduces body weight, BMI, thyroid volume, and serum TSH, ALT, and Anti-TPO levels in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM. Moreover, serum TSH levels showed a significant decrease in non-obese subjects, while thyroid volume showed a significant decrease in obese subjects.PMID:38676519 | DOI:10.2174/0118715303307313240315162000 (Source: Endocrine, Metabolic and Immune Disorders Drug Targets)

Impaired Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) Associated with Visceral Adiposity Leads to Insulin Resistance: The Core Defect in Diabetes Mellitus
Curr Diabetes Rev. 2024 Apr 26. doi: 10.2174/0115733998265915231116043813. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Central nervous system (CNS) is the prime regulator of signaling pathways whose function includes regulation of food intake (consumption), energy expenditure, and other metabolic responses like glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid oxidation, and thermogenesis that have been implicated in chronic inflammatory disorders. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity are two metabolic disorders that are linked together and have become an epidemic worldwide, thus raising significant public health concerns. Fibroblast g...
