Hypoglycemia in non-diabetic individuals is a rare but critical condition that often signals an underlying pathology. Insulinoma, a rare neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas, is a key differential diagnosis. As the most common functional pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, insulinomas originate from pancreatic islet cells and are predominantly benign.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of PC consultation on symptom burden and health care utilization among individuals with HFpEF during the last 3 years of their lives.
Purpose: To report an incidence of procedure-related complications in preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with intravitreal anti-VEGFs injection in both eyes on the same day.
Design: Retrospective, multicenter case series.
Subjects: Preterm infants with ROP treated with anti-VEGF bilaterally on the same day.
Article Synopsis
- - The study explores the additional benefits of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) for patients with obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) who are already on sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i).
- - Researchers analyzed data from over 7,000 patients and found that those taking both GLP-1 RA and SGLT2i had significantly lower risks of heart failure exacerbations and other health issues compared to those on SGLT2i alone.
- - While the combination therapy showed many benefits, it also had an increased risk of diabetic retinopathy, indicating the need for
