Are virtual wards for children safe and effective? A 3-year retrospective service evaluation of an urban Hospital at Home service for children and young people.

Objective: Service evaluation of an urban 'Hospital at Home' service which provides care in patients' homes that would traditionally be delivered in the hospital setting.

Design: Retrospective longitudinal review of routinely collected data recorded contemporaneously for clinical use, analysed to elicit utilisation patterns and service impact.

Setting: A paediatric 'Hospital at Home' service delivered across two large acute hospitals, treating a total of 4427 patients across both primary and secondary care in South London from January 2018 to June 2022.

Comprehensive efficacy of ipragliflozin on various conditioned type 2 diabetes compared with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and with both agents, based on a real-world multicenter trial.

Aims: The effects of ipragliflozin, the first sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) launched in Japan in 2014, and with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP-4i) on glycemic control and metabolic changes were investigated comprehensively on various conditioned type 2 diabetes (T2DM) by evaluating various clinical parameters in a real-world setting.

Materials And Methods: A total of 101 patients with T2DM aged 20-80 years with 7.0% ≤ HbA1c < 10.

Sex Differences in the Association between the Eicosapentaenoic Acid/Arachidonic Acid Ratio and the Visceral Fat Area among Patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Objective To examine the serum levels of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and the ratios of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and the EPA/arachidonic acid (AA) and DHA/AA and to clarify their association with the areas of subcutaneous and visceral fat separately by sex among patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods The study participants included 118 men and 96 women who were hospitalized to receive treatment for type 2 diabetes. We examined the serum levels of EPA and DHA and the ratios of EPA/AA and DHA/AA, and analyzed their association with the total fat area (TFA), subcutaneous fat area (SFA), and visceral fat area (VFA), as measured by computed tomography.
