The association between bullous pemphigoid and comorbidities: a case-control study in Moroccan patients
CONCLUSION: This study showed that BP is associated with stroke and the presence of malignancy compared to the age-matched general population. This study also calls for investigation into the specific role of some drugs as inducing factors for BP.PMID:35339128

Metformin may not reduce cardiovascular risk or all-cause mortality
Commentary on: Boussageon R, Supper I, Bejan-Angoulvant T, et al.. Reappraisal of metformin efficacy in the treatment of Type 2 diabetes: a meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials. PLoS Med 2012;9:268–82. Context The treatment of hyperglycaemia is considered as one of the tools for preventing cardiovascular disease in Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic (T2D) patients.1 2 Metformin is recommended as the first-line drug for T2D by most international guidelines (IDF.2005. http://www.idf.org, 2007. http://www.aace.com, http://www.diabetesjournals.org, http://www.nice.org.uk/CG66). The preference for metformin over other av...

Drug and Therapeutics Bulletin (DTB) April, May, June 2013 issues http://dtb.bmj.com HbA1c targets in type 2 diabetes: guidelines and evidence Aims of treatment for type-2 diabetes include minimising long-term complications (eg, cardiovascular disease, blindness, chronic kidney disease, premature mortality) and avoiding the unwanted effects of treatment (eg, severe hypoglycaemia, weight gain). Publication of the UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) 33 in 1998 suggested that ‘intensive blood glucose control’ to lower the glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in people with type 2 diabetes reduced microvascular disease b...

Risk factors associated with abnormal cognition in Japanese outpatients with diabetes, hypertension or dyslipidemia
Conclusions Because of the higher prevalence of abnormal cognition in aged outpatients with diabetes found in primary care practice and significant associations with serum albumin, uric acid, renal function, retinopathy and antidiabetic drugs, there is a need for early diagnosis and strategies against dementia.

Summary: International Kidney Cancer Symposium
Conclusions:  Ideal ischemia time is 20-25 minutes or less improves short and long term renal function.  >25 minutes carried 5 year risk of new onset stage 4 CKD No differences on GFR for cold vs. warm ischemia times Preoperative GFR and the percent of kidney preserved was a better predictor of post op GFR.  No ischemia preserves renal function better than warm. Longer cold ischemia times were equivalent to shorter warm ischemia times. Quality and quantity of the remaining kidney is associated with ultimate renal function.

Cardiovascular benefits and safety of non-insulin medications used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Authors: Yandrapalli S, Jolly G, Horblitt A, Sanaani A, Aronow WS Abstract Diabetes mellitus is a growing in exponential proportions. If the current growth trend continues, it may result in every third adult in the United States having diabetes mellitus by 2050, and every 10(th) adult worldwide. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) confers a 2- to 3-fold increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) events compared with non-diabetic patients, and CV mortality is responsible for around 80% mortality in this population. Patients with T2DM can have other features of insulin resistance-metabolic syndrome like hypertension, lipid ab...

Oral antidiabetic drugs and dementia risk: Does treatment matter?
As the population ages, dementia grows as a public health problem. The rising life expectancy and the aging of the so-called baby boomer cohort translate to a substantial number of people reaching ages of high risk for age-related conditions like dementia. As a major cause of disability and dependency in elderly people, dementia puts social and economic burden on patients and their families and affects health care systems worldwide. In the absence of a cure, primary prevention will have the largest effect on the reduction of dementia occurrence.1 Thus, public health research should focus on the identification of modifiable...

Metformin use in type 2 diabetic patients is not associated with lower arterial stiffness: the Maastricht Study
Conclusion: We showed that there is no significant association between current metformin use and aortic stiffness, regardless of how metformin use in itself was defined. In addition, metformin use was not associated with a lower carotid stiffness. The present results showed no beneficial effect of metformin use, dosage or duration on arterial stiffness in middle-aged patients with T2D. Alternatively, metformin may exerts its cardio-protective effects via other pathways.

Blood Flow Restriction Exercise Attenuates the Exercise-Induced Endothelial Progenitor Cell Response in Healthy, Young Men
Conclusion In summary, this is the first study to show that BFR exercise did not augment EPC response to exercise, and in fact blunted the EPC response to low load unilateral KE exercise in young, healthy males. Ethics Statement This study was carried out in accordance with the recommendations of Edinburgh Napier University Research and Ethics Governance Committee. The study was ethically approved by Edinburgh Napier University Research and Ethics Governance Committee. All participants gave written informed consent in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Author Contributions MR, RM, AP, CW, GF-J designed the s...

Sex-disparities in risk factors and atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients
Conclusion: Among diabetic people, compared to males, females had a higher comorbid burden but received less optimal treatment, which might partly explain their higher prevalence of composite ASCVD and CHD.PMID:33874831 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2021.1917930
