Impact of oral hypoglycemic agents on mortality among diabetic patients with non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer: A population-based analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: In this large, population-based study, we have provided further evidence that metformin use does not significantly impact DSS among diabetic patients diagnosed with NMIBC. However, our findings demonstrate that glyburide use inversely affects DSS. The detrimental effect of glyburide on DSS will require further validation.

Therapies for Gestational Diabetes and their Implications for Maternal and Offspring Health: Evidence from Human and Animal Studies
Publication date: Available online 5 February 2018 Source:Pharmacological Research Author(s): Gabriel M. Brawerman, Vernon W. Dolinsky Obesity prior to and during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of complications during pregnancy. One of the most common complications of pregnancy is gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a condition characterized by mild hyperglycemia and insulin resistance that is diagnosed in the third trimester of pregnancy. GDM predisposes both mothers and their children to increased obesity and cardiometabolic disorders, namely type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Current treatm...

982: Blood glucose patterns and treatment response in women with gestational diabetes treated with glyburide
Given its mechanism of action, glyburide is thought to be more effective in treating postprandial hyperglycemia. We investigated whether pre-treamtent glucose patterns were associated with differences in glycemic control or fetal growth in women with GDM who are treated with glyburide.

Electron microscopy/energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy of drug distribution in solid dispersions and interpretation by multifractal geometry
Publication date: 20 February 2018 Source:Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis, Volume 150 Author(s): Renata Abreu-Villela, Camille Adler, Isidoro Caraballo, Martin Kuentz Much contemporary research of poorly water-soluble drugs focuses on amorphous solid dispersions (SDs) for oral drug delivery. Recently, a multifractal formalism has been introduced to describe the distribution of an inorganic carrier in SDs. The present work attempts to directly image model drugs by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The compounds amlodipine, felodipine, glyburide, and indom...

Very tight vs. tight control: what should be the criteria for pharmacologic therapy dose adjustment in diabetes in pregnancy? Evidence from randomized controlled trials
ConclusionsWhen evaluating RCTs which included criteria for pharmacologic GDM therapy dose adjustment, the most common criterion for diagnosis was the two‐step test, and the most common used therapies were insulin and metformin. Regarding glucose monitoring, the most common frequency was four times per day, fasting and two hours after each main meal, using as target glucose values 95 and 120 mg/dL, respectively. Importantly, we found six different criteria for pharmacologic GDM therapy dose adjustment, with the majority using very tight criteria of either one or two values per week higher than the target values, of whic...

Crystalline structure of pulverized dental calculus induces cell death in oral epithelial cells
ConclusionDental calculus induces pyroptotic cell death in human oral epithelial cells and the crystalline structure plays a major role in this process. Oral epithelial cell death induced by dental calculus might be important for the etiology of periodontitis. (Source: Journal of Periodontal Research)

Comparative risk of serious hypoglycemia with oral antidiabetic monotherapy: A retrospective cohort study
ConclusionsSulfonylureas were associated with the highest rates of serious hypoglycemia. Among all study drugs, the highest rate was seen with glyburide. Pioglitazone was associated with a lower adjusted hazard for serious hypoglycemia vs metformin, while rosiglitazone and nateglinide had hazards similar to that of metformin.

Pharmacologic Differences of Sulfonylureas and the Risk of Adverse Cardiovascular and Hypoglycemic Events
CONCLUSIONS The nonspecific, long-acting sulfonylureas glyburide and glimepiride do not have an increased risk of cardiovascular adverse events compared with the specific, short-acting sulfonylureas gliclazide, glipizide, and tolbutamide. However, nonspecific, long-acting sulfonylureas glyburide and glimepiride have an increased risk of severe hypoglycemia. (Source: Diabetes Care)
