Exogenous Insulin Antibody Syndrome (EIAS) Presenting in an Elderly, Long-Term Patient with Type  1 Diabetes Mellitus that Resolved with Low-Cost Outpatient Therapy with Mycophenolate Mofetil and Regular Insulin by Pump
AbstractExogenous insulin antibody syndrome (EIAS) has until recently been a rarely described complication of exogenous insulin therapy. EIAS results not only in hyperglycemia, but also in hypoglycemia and occasionally in ketoacidosis (DKA). The incidence of EIAS is increasing probably due to an overall increase in autoimmunity associated with the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) epidemic resulting in increasing binding of insulin by antibodies. Herein, we describe a case of EIAS occurring in an elderly patient with longstanding type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) who had progressive loss of glycemic control. It responded p...

by Claudia I. Perez, Jorge Luis-Islas, Axel Lopez, Xarenny Diaz, Omar Molina, Benjamin Arroyo, Mario G. Moreno, Elvi Gil Lievana, Esmeralda Fonseca, Gilberto Casta ñeda-Hernández, Ranier Gutierrez Obesity is a major global health epidemic that has adverse effects on both the people affected as well as the cost to society. Several anti-obesity drugs that target GLP-1 receptors have recently come to the market. Here, we describe the effects of tesofensine, a novel anti-obesity drug that acts as a triple monoamine neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitor. Using various techniques, we investigated its effects on weight loss and ...

A woman in her fifties with a post-operative infection, generalised rash and organ failure
This article presents a case of a middle-aged woman who developed symptoms of toxic shock syndrome five days after elective breast cancer surgery, with high fever, multiorgan failure and a characteristic desquamation of the palms.INTERPRETATION: Toxic shock syndrome is a potentially lethal, toxin-mediated disease. Symptoms develop quickly, within hours. Early recognition and appropriate surgical management, intensive care and antibiotics are therefore important to reduce mortality and sequelae.PMID:38651709 | DOI:10.4045/tidsskr.23.0623 (Source: Tidsskrift for den Norske Laegeforening)

Interim Estimates of 2023-2024 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness Among Adults in Korea
In this study, we aimed to estimate the interim vaccine effectiveness (VE) of the influenza vaccination to prevent influenza during the early season. From November 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, we enrolled 2,632 subjects with influenza-like illness from eight hospitals participating in hospital-based influenza morbidity and mortality surveillance. A retrospective test-negative case-control study was conducted to estimate the VE. The results showed an adjusted VE of 22.5% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.6 to 35.8) for the total population. The adjusted VE was 22.3% (95% CI, 6.1 to 35.7) for influenza A and 9.4% (95% CI, -...
