Background: Atherosclerotic coronary artery disease, diabetic cardiomyopathy, and cardiac autonomic neuropathy (CAN) are the three categories into which the cardiovascular consequences of diabetes can be grouped. After all other potential causes have been ruled out, cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy-often referred to as CAN in the literature-is defined as the impairment of autonomic regulation of the cardiovascular system. Finding people with CAN is crucial because, if detected early enough, comprehensive therapies focusing on lifestyle, glucose management, and cardiovascular risk factors can reverse the course of CAN and delay its progression.

- Acute cholangitis is a serious medical condition, and this study investigates the impact of urgent ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) performed within 48 hours on patient outcomes compared to routine ERCP.
- The research analyzed data from 301 patients treated for acute cholangitis to compare their hospital stays, reintervention rates, readmissions, and mortality over a year.
- Results showed that while urgent ERCP reduced the hospital stay length, there was no significant difference in mortality, reinterventions, or readmissions between urgent and routine groups, indicating the need for further studies to validate these findings.
Introduction: Diabetes prevalence is increasing rapidly; estimates from the International Diabetes Federation put the number at 381 million people have diabetes. Hypoglycemia is a commonly encountered complication in diabetic patients, which, in the short-term, can lead to mortality and, in the long-term, precludes maintenance of euglycemic control. Over 65.
