Understanding the Prevalence of Prediabetes and Diabetes in Patients With Cancer in Clinical Practice: A Real-World Cohort Study.

Background: This study aimed to understand the prevalence of prediabetes (preDM) and diabetes mellitus (DM) in patients with cancer overall and by tumor site, cancer treatment, and time point in the cancer continuum.

Methods: This cohort study was conducted at Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. Patients with a first primary invasive cancer enrolled in the Total Cancer Care protocol between July 2016 and July 2018 were eligible.

Diabetes, Body Fatness, and Insulin Prescription Among Adolescents and Young Adults with Cancer.

Rates of obesity and obesity-related health consequences, including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cancer, continue to rise. While cancer patients are at an increased risk of developing T2D, the prevalence of T2D and insulin prescription among young patients with cancer remains unknown. Using the Total Cancer Care Study cohort at Huntsman Cancer Institute (Salt Lake City, UT), we identified individuals age 18-39 years at cancer diagnosis between 2009 and 2019.

Evaluation of removable partial denture frameworks fabricated using 3 different techniques.

Statement Of Problem: Rapid advancements in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) have opened new pathways in the fabrication of removable partial dentures (RPDs) through additive and subtractive processes. Questions remain whether the digital pathway is an acceptable one compared with conventional analog or combined analog and digital pathways.

Purpose: The purpose of this clinical study was to determine the quality of RPD frameworks fabricated using 3 different fabrication methods: analog, combined analog-digital, and digital.
