Article Synopsis
- Sudomotor dysfunction is a problem with the nerve fibers that help control sweating, which can be linked to a condition called small fiber neuropathy (SFN).
- This study compared a new home device called Body Scan with a hospital device called Sudoscan, to see which one better measures sweat gland activity in patients, especially those with diabetes.
- The Body Scan performed really well in detecting SFN, showing good results in terms of sensitivity and specificity, which means it was accurate in identifying patients who have this nerve issue.
Hepatocyte nuclear factor-1B (HNF1B) maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), also referred to as "renal cysts and diabetes syndrome" or MODY-5, is a rare form of monogenic diabetes that is caused by a deletion or a point mutation in the HNF1B gene, a developmental gene that plays a key role in regulating urogenital and pancreatic development. HNF1B-MODY has been characterized by its association with renal, hepatic and other extrapancreatic features. We present the case of a 39-year-old female patient who was first diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, but then, owing to the absence of anti-islet autoantibodies and to the disease's progression, was labeled later on as having atypical type 2 diabetes.

Several studies on drug-coated balloons have not demonstrated any improvements in terms of patency and target lesions revascularization in BTK lesions. This prospective single-centre cohort study evaluates the safety and efficacy of a new generation low-dose drug-coated balloon (DCB) with a reduced crystalline structure to treat below the knee (BTK) lesions in patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI).
