Epidemiology, microbiology, and diagnosis of infection in diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome: A multicenter retrospective observational study
Infection is a leading trigger of hyperglycemic emergencies. The prevalence of infectious disease is as high as 40 to 60  % among patients with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome (HHS) [1,2]. Infection worsens hyperglycemia by decreasing insulin secretion and glucose uptake, further impairing immune response [3]. It is thereby known as a significant risk factor for mortality [4]. Pro mpt diagnosis and management of infection are crucial for these patients as early treatment reduces mortality [5]. (Source: Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)

Molecules, Vol. 29, Pages 2386: An Aggregation-Induced Fluorescence Probe for Detection H2S and Its Application in Cell Imaging
ng Wang Monitoring hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in living organisms is very important because H2S acts as a regulator in many physiological and pathological processes. Upregulation of endogenous H2S concentration has been shown to be closely related to the occurrence and development of tumors, atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes. Herin, a novel fluorescent probe HND with aggregation-induced emission was designed. Impressively, HND exhibited a high selectivity, fast response (1 min) and low detection limit (0.61 μM) for H2S in PBS buffer (10 mM, pH = 7.42). Moreover, the reaction mechanism betw...

Type 2 diabetes mellitus/obesity drugs: a neurodegenerative disorders savior or a bridge too far?
Ageing Res Rev. 2024 May 16:102343. doi: 10.1016/j.arr.2024.102343. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist-based drugs (incretin mimetics) have meaningfully impacted current treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and their actions on satiety and weight loss have led to their use as an obesity medication. With multiple pleotropic actions beyond their insulinotropic and weight loss ones, including anti-inflammatory and anti-insulin-resistant effects selectively mediated by their receptors present within numerous organs, this drug class offers potential efficacy for an increasing...

Novel therapeutics to treat chronic pancreatitis: targeting pancreatic stellate cells and macrophages
Expert Rev Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2024 May 18:1-13. doi: 10.1080/17474124.2024.2355969. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a persistent, recurrent, and progressive disorder that is characterized by chronic inflammation and irreversible fibrosis of the pancreas. It is associated with severe morbidity, resulting in intense abdominal pain, diabetes, exocrine and endocrine dysfunction, and an increased risk of pancreatic cancer. The etiological factors are diverse and the major risk factors include smoking, chronic alcoholism, as well as other environmental and genetic factors. The treatme...

Genetically predicted type 2 diabetes mellitus mediates the causal association between plasma uric acid and ischemic stroke
CONCLUSIONS: The study suggests that genetic predisposition to uric acid is linked to a greater risk of IS, especially LAS and SVS. T2DM might mediate a significant proportion of the associations between uric acid and LAS as well as SVS.PMID:38761781 | DOI:10.1016/j.intimp.2024.112267 (Source: International Immunopharmacology)

Risk factors of periprosthetic joint infection after hemiarthroplasty for displaced femoral neck fracture in the elderly: Analysis of 1619 cases in the multicenter database
CONCLUSION: This multicenter retrospective study demonstrates a low incidence (1.4%) of PJI in elderly patients undergoing hemiarthroplasty for FNF, primarily due to Staphylococcus aureus. Increased usage of antiplatelets and anticoagulants, as well as comorbidities related to atherosclerosis, like peripheral vascular disease and diabetes mellitus, were observed in patients with PJI. Additionally, these patients experienced higher rates of blood transfusion and postoperative hematomas, highlighting the need for careful management. It should be noted, however, that this finding is a conclusion limited by study design issues...

Metabolic profiling reveals the nutraceutical effect of Gongolaria abies-marina and Rosmarinus officinalis extracts in a type 1 diabetes animal model
In conclusion, our findings suggest that environmentally clean extracts from R. officinalis and G. abies-marina possess nutraceutical potential, as they were able to modulate the metabolic profile in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. G. abies-marina extract exhibited a more substantial effect on metabolic alterations induced by diabetes compared to R. officinalis. These results warrant further exploration of these plant extracts for their potential in managing diabetes-related metabolic disturbances.PMID:38761421 | DOI:10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116731 (Source: Biomedicine and pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine and pharmacotherapie)

Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting Nutritional Risk Based on Frailty Scores in Older Stroke Patients
CONCLUSIONS: Elderly individuals recovering from stroke often experience significant nutritional deficiencies. The nomogram we devised accurately assesses this risk by combining physiological, psychological, and biochemical metrics. It equips healthcare providers with the means to actively screen for and manage the nutritional care of these patients. This tool is instrumental in swiftly identifying those in urgent need of targeted nutritional support, which is essential for optimizing their recovery and managing their nutrition more effectively.PMID:38761298 | PMC:PMC11102373 | DOI:10.1007/s40520-023-02689-0 (Source: Aging...

Longitudinal evaluation of fetal and infant AGD in healthy children: association with penile size, testosterone and DHT
CONCLUSIONS: AGD is sexual dimorphic already in the 3rd trimester. Fetal and infant AGD correlates. AGD is associated with body size but not circulating androgen levels at minipuberty. These findings suggest that fetal and infant AGD, reflect androgen action during early fetal development.PMID:38761403 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae342 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Understanding the link between different types of maternal diabetes and the onset of autism spectrum disorders
Diabetes Metab. 2024 May 16:101543. doi: 10.1016/j.diabet.2024.101543. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAutism spectrum disorders (ASD) encompass a collection of neurodevelopmental disorders that exhibit impaired social interactions and repetitive stereotypic behaviors. Although the exact cause of these disorders remains unknown, it is widely accepted that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to their onset and progression. Recent studies have highlighted the potential negative impact of maternal diabetes on embryonic neurodevelopment, suggesting that intrauterine hyperglycemia could pose an additional risk to ea...
