Bibliometric analysis of publications on trabecular bone score (TBS)
ConclusionThe number of annual publications on TBS has increased, especially after 2016. These publications highlight the importance of in-depth knowledge of TBS in predicting fracture risk and also its strengths and limitations of treatment monitoring in different health conditions.

Machine learning techniques to predict the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy: a literature review
ConclusionOur analysis showed that some studies ignored the temporal factor, while others partially exploited it. Greater use of the temporal aspect inherent in Electronic Health Records (EHR) data, together with the integration of omics data, could lead to the development of more reliable and powerful predictive models.

Level of physical activity in patients with type 2 diabetes
DiscussionThe findings demonstrated that approximately 70% of individuals were in the pre-contemplation and contemplation stages of change. Additionally, the physical activity level among diabetic patients was determined to be unfavorable. Given the concomitant growth in the diabetes patient population and the emphasis on the role of physical activity in preventing cardiovascular disease and diabetes-related complications, the results underscore opportunities to design and implement educational programs targeting the improvement of physical activity levels in this patient group.

ACE I/D gene polymorphisms and polycystic ovary syndrome manifestations
ConclusionThis study indicate that although ACE I/D variants frequency in PCOS women is similar to non-PCOS women, it may be involved in the pathogenesis of the disease through mechanisms regulating steroidogenesis in the ovary and suggests that ACE might be related to exacerbated clinical manifestations of PCOS which requires further investigations.

The association between heavy metal exposure and obesity: A systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionOverall, lead exposure reduced obesity risk, while mercury and barium exposure raised it. Further large-scale observational studies are recommended to determine the roles of heavy metals in obesity.Study registration ID: CRD42023394865.

Risk prediction models for postpartum glucose intolerance in women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus: a scoping review
ConclusionThe risk prediction models included in this review demonstrated favorable prediction accuracy. However, due to variations in construction methodologies, direct comparison of their performance is challenging. These models exhibited certain shortcomings, such as inadequate handling of missing data and a lack of internal and external validation, resulting in a high risk of bias. Therefore, it is recommended that these models be updated and externally validated. The development of prospective, multi-center studies is encouraged to construct predictive models with low risk of bias and high clinical applicability, ulti...

Elevated triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio as a risk factor for progression to prediabetes: a 5-year retrospective cohort study in Japan
ConclusionHigh TG/HDL-C ratio is a risk factor for progression to prediabetes in Japanese men and women, but it had low discriminative ability in predicting prediabetes risk. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Assessment of the relationship between self-efficacy criteria and rate of lower limb amputation in diabetic patients; a cross-sectional study
ConclusionIn this study, DMSE had a significant relationship with reducing limb amputation rate in DMPs. Furthermore, The average self-efficacy score according to gender, place of residence, education, family history in non-close relatives, underlying disease, and type of diabetes was significantly difference. It is suggested, that self-efficacy would be enhanced through systematic education in diabetes clinics. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Long-term effects of a telemedically-assisted lifestyle intervention on glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes – A two-armed randomised controlled trial in Germany
ConclusionCombined telephone coaching with telemedicine support could lead to better long-term glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes. In the future, more long-term studies should be conducted in real-world settings and lifestyle interventions should be offered more widely. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Comparison of BMI and HbA1c changes before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in type 1 diabetes: a longitudinal population-based study
ConclusionThis real-world analysis shows no detrimental consequences of the two first COVID years on weight and HbA1c in T1D on average, but reveals, beyond the mean trends, a greater variability at the individual level. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)

Association analysis between the VDR gene variants and type 2 diabetes
ConclusionOur findings were suggestive of the rs731236 polymorphism of theVDR as a risk factor for developing T2DM in the Iranian population, while rs1544410 polymorphism may not be associated with T2DM susceptibility. Further research is needed to approve these findings in other populations and to clarify the underlying mechanisms involved in such an association.

Obesity as a risk factor in atrial fibrillation and heart failure
ConclusionsObesity is an independent and modifiable risk factor for AF and HF. In addition, there is an increasing volume of experimental and clinical data that suggests an important role of the epicardial adipose tissue in the pathophysiology of AF. However, several issues, such as the issue of optimal pharmacotherapy and weight reduction strategy in obese patients with HF remains still unanswered, and open for future investigation.

Comparison of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, platelet to lymphocyte ratio, and C-reactive protein in predicting osteomyelitis in patients with diabetic foot ulcer
ConclusionNLR and PLR could be useful for diagnosing OS but cannot be used for detecting lower grades of DFU. CRP showed higher performance in detecting OS compared to PLR and NLR. (Source: Journal of Diabetes and Metabolic Disorders)
