Cost-Utility of Empagliflozin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes at High Cardiovascular Risk
In the Empagliflozin, Cardiovascular Outcomes, and Mortality in Type 2 Diabetes (EMPA-REG) trial, empagliflozin reduced cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients at high cardiovascular risk. We sought to estimate the cost-effectiveness of empagliflozin versus standard treatment for the prevention of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with T2D.

AGE-albumin enhances ABCA1 degradation by ubiquitin-proteasome and lysosomal pathways in macrophages
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are non-enzymatically glycated protein, lipid, or nucleic acid by Maillard reaction,1 found in extracellular fluid including blood plasma and tissues. AGEs are often increased in aging, but mainly in poorly controlled diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease2 and independently relate to total and cardiovascular mortality.3 By interacting with the receptor for AGE (RAGE), AGEs induce oxidative stress and NF-KB-mediated transactivation of inflammatory genes and Rage, leading to vascular damage.

Relation of Elevated Serum Uric Acid Levels to First-degree Heart Block and Other Cardiac Conduction Defects in Hospitalized Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Several studies have reported that moderately elevated serum uric acid levels are associated with an increased risk of tachyarrhythmias (mainly atrial fibrillation) in patients with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is currently unknown whether an association also exists between elevated serum uric acid levels and cardiac conduction defects in patients with T2DM.

Brain gray matter changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A meta-analysis of whole-brain voxel-based morphometry study
We aimed to identify alterations in global gray matter volumes (GMV) and consistent regional abnormalities in T2DM patients via meta-analysis. Methods: A systematic search for relevant studies indexed in the PubMed and Embase databases was conducted. A quantitative meta-analysis of volumetric and whole-brain VBM data was conducted using STATA v.12.0 and AES-SDM software packages, respectively. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)

Validating the Association between Plasma Tumour Necrosis Factor Receptor 1 Levels and the Presence of Renal Injury and Functional Decline in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Elevated plasma soluble tumour necrosis factor receptor 1(TNFR1) predicts long-term progression of chronic kidney disease. We investigated the association between elevated TNFR1 and the presence of renal disease in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus registering a haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)>48mmol/mol despite medical therapy.
