Prevalence of depression among subjects with and without gestational diabetes mellitus in Bangladesh: a hospital based study.
CONCLUSION: Higher rate of depression in pregnancy deserves medical attention especially women diagnosed with GDM. Further studies should estimate adverse pregnancy outcome for untreated depression especially in GDM cases. PMID: 26221580 [PubMed] (Source: Diabetes Metab)

Skeletal muscle to pancreatic β-cell cross-talk: the effect of humoral mediators liberated by muscle contraction and acute exercise on β-cell apoptosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Unidentified circulating humoral mediators released during exercise prevent proinflammatory cytokine-induced β-cell apoptosis. Muscle-derived mediators released during exercise suppress β-cell insulin secretion. Furthermore, muscle-derived IL-6 appears to prevent β-cell apoptosis under normal conditions but contributes to β-cell apoptosis under proinflammatory conditions.

Neuroendocrine morbidity after pediatric optic gliomas: a longitudinal analysis of 166 children over 30 years.
CONCLUSIONS: This first longitudinal OP/HSG-specific study demonstrates that hypothalamo-pituitary dysfunction evolves hierarchically over decades. Tumor location predicts its speed of onset and radiotherapy its density. GnD can evolve from previous CPP, whilst life-threatening PPD can occur after any surgery. Our data suggest that recent radiation-avoiding chemotherapeutic strategies have increased GHD without improving survival. PMID: 26218754 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Diabetes Metab)

The association of vitamin D deficiency with psychiatric distress and violence behaviors in Iranian adolescents: the CASPIAN-III study.
CONCLUSION: Some psychiatric distress such as anger, anxiety, poor quality sleep, depression, and worry are associated with hypovitaminosis D in adolescents. The clinical significance of the current findings should be determined in future longitudinal studies. PMID: 26203431 [PubMed] (Source: Diabetes Metab)

Evaluation of fetal cell transplantation safety in treatment of diabetes: a three-year follow-up.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings of our study demonstrated that stem cell transplantation can be considered a relatively safe procedure apart from one case of meningioma; it did neither cause any life-threatening complications nor increased the rate of the diabetes micro- and macrovascular complications.

Impact of a novel 14 bp MEN1 deletion in a patient with hyperparathyroidism and gastrinoma.
We report a novel 14 bp MEN1 deletion mutation in a 35-year-old female with history of recurrent epigastric pain, vomiting, loose stools and weight loss. On evaluation she was diagnosed to have multifocal gastro-duodenal gastrinoma with paraduodenal lymph nodes and solitary liver metastasis. She was also found to have primary hyperparathyroidism with bilateral inferior parathyroid adenoma. Pancreatico-duodenectomy with truncalvagotomy was performed. Four months later, radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of segment 4 of the liver was done followed by three and a half parathyroidectomy. MEN1 screening was carried out for the pat...

Severe hypercalcemia and hypernatremia in a patient treated with canagliflozin.
We report on a 60-year-old man with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes treated with insulin, glimepiride, metformin and canagliflozin, who was admitted with altered mental status after a syncopal episode. He had a 1-week history of ingestion of Tums for heartburn followed by poor appetite and lethargy. Laboratory work-up showed acute kidney injury, diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), and parathyroid hormone-independent severe hypercalcemia of 17.4 mg/dl. DKA resolved with insulin treatment, and saline hydration led to improvement in hypercalcemia and renal function over 48 h, but was accompanied by a rapid increase in the serum sod...

Fructose Metabolism and Relation to Atherosclerosis, Type 2 Diabetes, and Obesity.
Abstract A high intake of sugars has been linked to diet-induced health problems. The fructose content in sugars consumed may also affect health, although the extent to which fructose has a particularly significant negative impact on health remains controversial. The aim of this narrative review is to describe the body's fructose management and to discuss the role of fructose as a risk factor for atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Despite some positive effects of fructose, such as high relative sweetness, high thermogenic effect, and low glycaemic index, a high intake of fructose, particularly ...

Ethnic differences in effects of maternal pre-pregnancy and pregnancy adiposity on offspring size and adiposity.
CONCLUSIONS: ppBMI and GWG are independent modifiable factors for child size and adiposity up to two years of age. The associations are ethnic-dependent, and underscore the importance of ethnic specific studies before generalizing the applicability of risk factors reported in other populations.

Steroid sex hormones, sex hormone binding globulin and diabetes incidence in the Diabetes Prevention Program.
CONCLUSIONS: Estrogens and testosterone predicted diabetes risk in men but not in women. SHBG and its polymorphisms did not predict risk in men or women. Diabetes risk is more potently determined by obesity and glycemia than by sex hormones. PMID: 26200237 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Diabetes Metab)

Early increases in plasma bile acids post Roux-en-Y gastric bypass are driven by insulin sensitizing, secondary bile acids.
CONCLUSIONS: Overall findings suggest that bacterially derived bile acids may mediate the early improvements at one month after RYGB. Future studies should examine the changes in specific bile acid chemical species following bariatric procedures and bile acid-specific signaling changes.
