Background: Studies of dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP)-4 inhibitors report heterogeneous effects on endothelial function in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study assessed the effects of the DPP-4 inhibitor linagliptin versus the sulphonylurea glimepiride and placebo on measures of macro- and microvascular endothelial function in patients with T2D who represented a primary cardiovascular disease prevention population.
Methods: This crossover study randomised T2D patients (n = 42) with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ≤7.
Article Synopsis
- Metastatic breast cancer has a low 5-year survival rate of 21%, making effective symptom management and survival extension crucial for patients.
- Single-agent chemotherapy, like capecitabine, is often preferable due to the severe side effects of multi-drug regimens.
- A study of 26 patients using a combined treatment of 5-fluorouracil and sodium folinate showed an 8.6-month progression-free survival and an 18.5-month overall survival, with manageable side effects, suggesting a viable alternative to traditional options.
