Article Synopsis
- Early and tight glycaemic control is essential for preventing long-term complications in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), and this study aimed to evaluate glucose metrics, specifically Time In Tight Range (TITR), in children and adolescents.
- Conducted in a single centre with 534 participants, the study compared four treatment methods: multiple daily injections (MDI) with various types of glucose monitoring, and advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) systems, analyzing their effectiveness on glucose levels.
- Results showed that the AHCL group achieved significantly better Time In Range (TIR) and Time In Tight Range (TITR) compared to the other groups, suggesting that automated insulin delivery systems could substantially enhance glycaemic control
Heterogeneity characterises inflammatory diseases and different phenotypes and endotypes have been identified. Both innate and adaptive immunity contribute to the immunopathological mechanism of these diseases and barrier damage plays a prominent role triggering type 2 inflammation through the alarmins system, such as anti-Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP). Treatment with anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies showed efficacy in severe asthma and clinical trials for other eosinophilic diseases are ongoing.

In this context, a retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the effectiveness and safety of carbamylated monomeric allergoid subcutaneous immunotherapy (MA-SCIT), along with patient satisfaction. Methods: a total of 291 patients with rhinoconjunctivitis with or without asthma with inhalant (house dust mite, grass, and pellitory) allergies were enrolled in this study.
