Association of the Pro12Ala gene polymorphism with treatment response to thiazolidinediones in patients with type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis
ConclusionBased on the results of this meta-analysis, our findings suggest that the presence of the PPARG gene variant is associated with the response of patients with T2DM to TZD therapy. However, further studies are still needed to verify our claims. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Type 2 diabetes mellitus increases the risk of penile inflammatory disorders in men aged between 30 and 49: a 5-year follow-up study
ConclusionsT2DM and younger age, but not hypertension or hyperlipidemia, were associated with an increased risk of penile inflammatory disorders in men between 30 and 49 years of age. Our findings suggest the need for preemptive circumcision for selective men with diabetes may prevent diabetes-associated penile inflammatory disorders.

Evaluation of parotid gland function in type 2 diabetes patients using diffusion-weighted imaging before and after acid stimulation
ConclusionDW-MRI before and after acid stimulation is potentially useful for noninvasive prediction of diabetes-induced xerostomia severity. ADC value is a sensitive indicator of parotid gland dysfunction and may indirectly reflect the degree of this dysfunction caused by fat deposition.

Impact of microbiological characteristics on the costs of treating diabetic foot infection
ConclusionsThe microbiological profile, number of microorganisms per wound, and bacterial resistance may increase the hospitalization time and costs of treating DFI, suggesting that bacterial culture may be more financially advantageous than applying empirical therapy for DFI at the beginning of the treatment.

The effect of aerobic, resistance, and concurrent training on the expression and protein levels of RBP4 visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue in diabetic rats with STZ
ConclusionThree types of exercise improve insulin resistance in diabetic rats by reducing the expression and levels of RBP4 protein in VAT and SAT. However, the effect of CT is greater than RT. (Source: International Journal of Diabetes in Developing Countries)

Comparison of biomarkers of oxidative stress, 8-isoprostane, advanced oxidation protein products, and 8-hydroxy-2 ′-deoxyguanosine and pro-apoptosis, cytokeratin 18 M30, in women with normal glucose tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus
ConclusionsWomen with GDM have increased oxidative stress presented by serum oxidized protein, lipid, and DNA biomarkers and pro-apoptosis demonstrated by CK18 M30. This supports the role of oxidized biomolecules in the pathogenesis of GDM. With piling data related to biomarkers changed into women with GDM, it will be possible to clarify the pathophysiology of GDM and its comorbidities.

Efficacy of empagliflozin for weight and glycemic control of a patient with Prader-Willi syndrome, systemic lymphedema and extreme obesity: a case report
AbstractCase ReportA patient with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), extreme obesity and hyperglycemia had her body weight increased considerably for 6 months, even with exercise and diet programs. Treatment with metformin and empagliflozin (12.5 mg/day) induced a weight loss of 14 kg ( −10.3%) for 6 months and the reduction of glycated hemoglobin A1c.
