Background: Modifiable cardiovascular risk factors are high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia.
Aim: To investigate the impact of sodium-glucose 2 co-transporter inhibitors (SGLT-2i) on modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in Romanian patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Method: A retrospective study was conducted on 200 Romanian patients with T2DM who were being treated with SGLT-2i, either Dapagliflozin or Empagliflozin.
Introduction: The COVID-19 lockdown influenced the glycemic control and other metabolic parameters in people with type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus.
Objective: To study the effects of COVID-19 lockdown on glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Material And Methods: Our study group included 120 Romanian people with T2DM from both urban and rural areas.
Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of discharge protocols for acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, which the Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group (HPSG) aims to address with a new, validated protocol based on laboratory data and symptoms.
- An international survey revealed that 87.5% of participating medical centers do not have discharge protocols, but those that do see shorter hospital stays and lower readmission rates.
- The HPSG discharge protocol resulted in the lowest average length of hospital stay and demonstrated safety through a low readmission rate, highlighting the need for developing and validating more standardized discharge protocols for AP care.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has brought major changes not only at the economic and social level but especially in the medical system.
Objective: To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on the quality of glycemic control in Romanian patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).
Material And Method: Our study group included 102 Romanian volunteers' patients with T1DM from both urban and rural areas.
Background: Aloe ferox is one of the most widely used medicinal plants today, with the most intense detoxifying action of all aloe species, being used in the treatment of various diseases, including obesity. Our study aimed to assess the efficacy of Aloe ferox in obesity treatment.
Methods: The study sample included 20 Romanian persons with obesity treated with diet and Aloe ferox based supplements, and 20 Romanian matched controls treated with diet and a placebo.
Background: Female sexual dysfunction (FSD) is one of the chronic complications of diabetes as is male sexual dysfunction, but the former is less studied. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess of the prevalence and risk factors associated with FSD in Romanian women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT).
Methods: The study sample included 104 Romanian women with both T1DM and CAT, and 101 Romanian matched controls with only T1DM.
Background: Acid suppressing drugs (ASD) are generally used in acute pancreatitis (AP); however, large cohorts are not available to understand their efficiency and safety. Therefore, our aims were to evaluate the association between the administration of ASDs, the outcome of AP, the frequency of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and GI infection in patients with AP.
Methods: We initiated an international survey and performed retrospective data analysis on AP patients hospitalized between January 2013 and December 2018.
Rationale: The prevalence of obesity has increased over the past few years, becoming a public health problem. Generally, the primary therapeutic remedies are diet, physical exercise, medication, and bariatric surgery. However, an increased number of obese and overweight people are using complementary and herbal slimming supplements.
