- The study compared the effects of oligomalt, a slowly digestible carbohydrate, to maltodextrin on blood sugar and insulin response in healthy individuals, overweight/obese participants, and those with type 2 diabetes.
- Oligomalt resulted in significantly lower post-meal glucose and insulin levels across all groups, highlighting its potential benefits for blood sugar management.
- The positive outcomes suggest oligomalt could be a healthier carbohydrate option for food products aimed at improving glucometabolic health.

- The study focuses on the use of intravenous fosfomycin (IVFOF) for severe infections and potential adverse events (AEs) impacting its use.
- Of the 224 patients analyzed, 42.4% experienced at least one AE, with hypernatremia being the most common, occurring in 23.7% of patients, especially among those in ICU with low respiratory infections and septic shock.
- Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) showed some promise in predicting AEs, particularly hypernatremia, indicating that regular monitoring could improve patient safety during IVFOF treatment.
