The role of traditional Chinese medicine on fracture surgery, hospitalization, and total mortality risks in diabetic patients with osteoporosis.

Background: Studies have confirmed that osteoporosis has been considered as one of the complications of diabetes, and the health hazards to patients are more obvious. This study is mainly based on the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database (TNHID). Through the analysis of TNHID, it is shown that the combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) medicine in patients of diabetes with osteoporosis (T2DOP) with lower related risks.

The efficacy and safety of combined GLP-1RA and basal insulin therapy among inadequately controlled T2D with premixed insulin therapy.

This study investigated the effect of a combination of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA) and basal insulin (BI) in poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus previously treated with premixed insulin. The possible therapeutic benefit of the subject is mainly hoped to provide a direction for optimizing treatment options to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia and weight gain. A single-arm, open-label study was conducted.

Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Induced by Complex Infection Presenting as Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy in a Young AIDS Patient.

Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can restore protective immune responses against opportunistic infections (OIs) and reduce mortality in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections. Some patients treated with ART may develop immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS). complex (MAC)-related IRIS most commonly presents as lymphadenitis, soft-tissue abscesses, and deteriorating lung infiltrates.
