Adolescence remains a crucial age associated with diabetes distress in individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The Austrian organization "Diabär" regularly hosts a one-week adventure camp for adolescents (12-18 years) living with T1D. The camp focuses on "fun activities" without a structured educational protocol in order to minimize diabetes distress and increase diabetes management skills.

Due to barriers in the availability of AID-systems, the use and development of open-source AID-systems have internationally increased. This technology provides a necessary alternative to commercially available products, especially when approved systems are inaccessible or insufficiently adapted to the specific needs of the users.

- Euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis (EDKA) is a serious condition associated with antidiabetic medications called SGLT2 inhibitors, particularly relevant during surgery.
- A literature review identified 33 articles highlighting risk factors for EDKA, including infection, fasting, surgical stress, and reduced insulin dosage.
- To prevent delayed diagnosis and complications, SGLT2 inhibitors should be stopped 24-48 hours before surgery and only resumed when the patient is stable.
Background: Acute viral myositis (AVM) may be triggered by influenza A/B, enteroviruses and other viruses. Severe complications including rhabdomyolysis regularly lead to acute kidney injury (AKI). The aim of this short report was to discuss management and differential diagnosis of massive creatine kinase (CK) elevation.

Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed and Clinical Research Network.
Aim: Pharmacologic agents with procoagulant effects and antidotes against antithrombotic drugs play an important role in the prevention and management of perioperative coagulopathic bleeding. The aim of this narrative review is knowledge transfer from new and renewed hemostatic agents to anesthesiologists and other physicians involved in perioperative medicine.
Methods: The literature search was performed on PubMed and the Summaries of Product Characteristics of 6 pharmacologic agents of interest: fibrinogen concentrate, vonicog alfa, susoctocog alfa, idarucizumab, andexanet alfa, and argatroban.
