| This proof of concept study demonstrates the innovative potential of bioprinting technologies in fabrication of antibiotic scaffolds for the treatment of DFU (Drug Delivery and Translational Research)
In this post-hoc analysis, participants with type 2 diabetes initiating once-weekly semaglutide experienced improvements in glycated hemoglobin and bodyweight in both the overall and Japanese population, and no new safety concerns were identified among Japanese participants, supporting the efficacy of once-weekly semaglutide in this population (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
The main therapeutic mechanisms of stem cell transplantation are angiogenesis/vasoprotective, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. As these therapeutic mechanisms of stem cell transplantation are consistent with the developmental mechanism of diabetic microvascular complications, its therapeutic effect can be promising (Journal of Diabetes Investigation)
South Asian men and women appear to store more ectopic fat in the liver compared with their white European counterparts with similar BMI levels. Given the emerging understanding of the importance of liver fat in diabetes pathogenesis, these findings help explain the greater diabetes risks in South Asians (Diabetologia)
Elevated TyG index was associated with increased odds of atherosclerosis in coronary/intra- and extracranial arteries. Compared with HOMA-IR, the TyG index was more strongly associated with intracranial atherosclerosis. Moreover, discordantly high TyG index with HOMA-IR was also important for atherosclerosis identification (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Contrary to previous randomized controlled trials, these findings indicate that the use of SGLT2 inhibitors is not associated with an increased risk of bladder cancer compared with GLP-1RAs or DPP-4 inhibitors. This should provide reassurance on the short-term effects of SGLT2 inhibitors on bladder cancer incidence (Diabetes Care)
Glycaemic variability was strongly associated with the development of ESKD in people with diabetes and CKD (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
It seems that 8 weeks of NMES has beneficial effects on the reduction of FBS and TDD of insulin therefore, it could be suggested as the contributory treatment in management of children and adolescents with type-1 diabetes (BMC Endocrine Disorders)
The study adds to a growing body of evidence that AID systems, including commercial AIDs, are “remarkably consistent” in keeping blood glucose in target range, according to an editorial that accompanied the findings in the New England Journal of Medicine (JAMA)
Among participants with type 1 diabetes and high glycated hemoglobin levels, the use of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring with optional alarms for high and low blood glucose levels resulted in significantly lower glycated hemoglobin levels than levels monitored by fingerstick testing (NEJM)
