Background: Advanced Hybrid Closed-Loop system (AHCL) has profoundly changed type 1 diabetes therapy. This study primarily aimed to assess the impact on Glycemia Risk Index (GRI) and other continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics when switching from one of four insulin strategies to AHCL in type 1 adult patients.
Methods: A single-center, retrospective pre/post observational study; 198 patients (age 44.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines the impact of glycemic control on COVID-19 outcomes in diabetic patients, focusing on factors like hyperglycemia, inflammation, and clinical history.
- It involved a retrospective analysis of 291 diabetic patients, finding that high blood glucose levels at admission and poor kidney function significantly increased the risk of mortality and longer hospital stays.
- Interestingly, while hyperglycemia directly correlated with higher mortality, certain inflammatory markers showed indirect effects, and a higher basophil count appeared to be protective against mortality.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with acromegaly often experience various health issues, such as poor quality of life and chronic pain, and this study explored the effects of a mindfulness program on these conditions.
- A randomized clinical trial involving 60 patients showed that the mindfulness program improved sleep, reduced pain levels, and enhanced self-compassion in those who participated.
- The results indicated significant benefits from mindfulness practices, including improved heart rate and sleep quality, suggesting the potential usefulness of mindfulness for managing acromegaly symptoms.
Context: Impaired cognition and altered quality of life (QoL) may persist despite long-term remission of Cushing's disease (CD). Persistent comorbidities and treatment modalities may account for cognitive impairments. Therefore, the role of hypercortisolism on cognitive sequelae remains debatable.

Context: Chronic exposure to glucocorticoids (GCs) or stress increases the risk of medical disorders, including cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric disorders. GCs contribute to accelerated aging; however, while the link between chronic GC exposure and disease onset is well established, the underpinning mechanisms are not clear.
Objective: We explored the potential nexus between GCs or stress exposure and telomere length.
