A rare homozygous variant causes adult-onset diabetes.

Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) are the most prevalent causes of monogenic diabetes. MODY is an autosomal dominant condition with onset in childhood and young adulthood, while NDM is defined with diabetes onset within 6 months of age and can be caused by dominant, recessive, X-linked genes or by chromosomal abnormalities. Here, we describe a rare case of monogenic diabetes in a patient who is homozygous for an gene variant.

Circulating inflammatory proteins are elevated in type 1 and type 2 diabetes and associated to complications.

Background: The presence of low-grade inflammation has been reported in people with type 2 diabetes and related to the development of (macro)vascular complications. Whether systemic inflammation is present in type 1 diabetes and linked to long-term complications remains unknown. We used a targeted proteomics approach to compare inflammation in people with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes with control subjects and linked these proteins to diabetes related characteristics and complications.

Patient experience and barriers of using a mHealth exercise app in musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy.

Digital transformation has led to an abundance of digital health technologies (DHTs) readily available for Physiotherapists. In July 2020, the Physiotherapy department at a London NHS Trust implemented a mobile health (mHealth) exercise application (app), Physitrack. This service evaluation aims to evaluate patient experience and identify any barriers to using Physitrack/PhysiApp in musculoskeletal (MSK) Physiotherapy.

A survey of digital access, digital confidence and rehabilitation delivery preferences of patients referred for CR.

Remote delivery of cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) has been vital during the COVID pandemic when restrictions have been placed on face-to- face services. In the future, CR services are likely to offer alternatives to centre- based CR, including digital options. However, little is known about the digital access and confidence of CR service users, or their CR delivery preferences.
