Article Synopsis
  • Time in tight range (TITR) is a new important metric for measuring normal blood sugar levels, particularly for people with type 1 diabetes (T1D).
  • A study evaluated the performance of the advanced hybrid closed-loop (AHCL) Minimed™ 780G system in 42 adults with T1D over a year.
  • The results showed that after just 14 days, the AHCL system significantly improved TITR and other glucose metrics, maintaining effective glycemic control for the full 12 months.

The current targeted therapy for BRAF-mutant lung cancer consists of a dual blockade of RAF/MEK kinases often combining dabrafenib/trametinib (D/T). This regimen extends survival when compared to single-agent treatments, but disease progression is unavoidable. By using whole-genome CRISPR screening and RNA sequencing, we characterize the vulnerabilities of both persister and D/T-resistant cellular models.

Mammary cancer is a frequent disease in female dogs, where a high proportion of cases correspond to malignant tumors that may exhibit drug resistance. Within the mammary tumor microenvironment, there is a cell subpopulation called cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are capable of forming spheres in vitro and resisting anti-tumor treatments, partly explaining the recurrence of some tumors. Previously, it has been described that spheres derived from canine mammary carcinoma cells CF41.

Automated insulin delivery (AID) systems have improved glycemic control in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The "advanced hybrid closed loop" (AHCL) stands out as the most recent development in AID systems for T1D management. In a real-world clinical environment, we retrospectively evaluated the AHCL MiniMed™ 780G system's effectiveness to achieve and sustain glycemic control over a 12-month period in 22 adult T1D subjects.

Dermatomyositis is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by a severe inflammatory myopathy associated with a cutaneous syndrome. Dermatomyositis is associated with multisystemic disorders mostly represented by cardiac, pulmonary and articular involvements, which are particularly associated with a bad prognosis. We report a case of a 50-year-old patient suffering from dermatomyositis associated with an interstitial lung disease with a particularly fast and pejorative clinical evolution.
