A scoping review exploring the role of the dietitian in the identification and management of eating disorders and disordered eating in adolescents and adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Eating disorder diagnoses and disordered eating behaviours are more prevalent in people living with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus, in particular in adolescents. The role of the dietitian in this setting is not clearly outlined in the literature.

Aim: This scoping review aims to outline the available information for the role of the dietitian in identifying and managing eating disorders in adolescents and adults with co-occurring Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) in a clinical setting.

Evaluating the Trend of VRE carriages in Health Facilities: A Retrospective Study from 2019-2022.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and multidrug resistance (MDR) are a growing public health threat and pose a risk to patient safety in healthcare facilities. Vancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE) are responsible for nosocomial infections and have intrinsic and acquired resistance to many antibiotics, including glycopeptides. VRE carriage can remain undetected, increasing the risk of contact transmission.

Low-dose liver CT: image quality and diagnostic accuracy of deep learning image reconstruction algorithm.

Objectives: To perform a comprehensive within-subject image quality analysis of abdominal CT examinations reconstructed with DLIR and to evaluate diagnostic accuracy compared to the routinely applied adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR-V) algorithm.

Materials And Methods: Oncologic patients were prospectively enrolled and underwent contrast-enhanced CT. Images were reconstructed with DLIR with three intensity levels of reconstruction (high, medium, and low) and ASiR-V at strength levels from 10 to 100% with a 10% interval.

Facilitators and barriers to attending postpartum screening in women with a recent pregnancy complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus: a qualitative study.

Objective: Pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are 50% more likely to develop type II diabetes (T2D) within 6 months to 2 years after giving birth. Therefore, international guidelines recommend it is best practice for women diagnosed with GDM to attend screening for T2D 6-12 weeks postpartum and every 1-3 years thereafter for life. However, uptake of postpartum screening is suboptimal.

Ureteral wall thickness and distal ureteral density in patients with residual fragments after Ho:YAG laser semi-rigid ureterolithotripsy.

Recent data suggest that greater ureteral density distal to ureteral stones or increased ureteral wall thickness (UWT) can predict impacted stones. The aim of our study was to evaluate if patients with residual fragments present with greater ureteral density and larger UWT when compared to stone-free patients. From January onward, a consecutive series of patients undergoing semi rigid Ho:YAG laser ureterolithotripsy (ULT) for ureteral stones were enrolled.
