Article Synopsis
- * A study of 128 participants examined changes in islet function over three years, comparing those with the TT genotype (linked to diabetes) and a protective allele.
- * Results showed that individuals with the TT genotype experienced worsening glucose tolerance and problems with glucagon suppression, indicating α-cell dysfunction may develop before β-cell issues in the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted to compare the effects of new onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) versus preexisting atrial fibrillation (AF) in cancer patients who were hospitalized.
- The research included 606 patients, revealing that those with NOAF were generally younger and had fewer cardiovascular issues prior to their diagnosis.
- Patients with NOAF faced a significantly higher risk of serious outcomes, including all-cause death and cardiovascular issues, compared to those with preexisting AF.

Methods: This systematic review was developed by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario)'s Program in Evidence-Based Care and by the Lung Cancer Disease Site Group.
Introduction: The aim of this guideline was to provide recommendations for the most effective therapy for patients with thymic epithelial tumors, including thymoma, thymic carcinoma, and thymic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). This guideline is intended to be used by all health care professionals managing patients with thymic epithelial tumors.
Methods: The guideline was developed by Ontario Health (Cancer Care Ontario)'s Program in Evidence-Based Care and by the Lung Cancer Disease Site Group through a systematic review of the evidence, expert consensus, and formal internal and external reviews.
Objective: To assess the impact of cultural competence training for health professionals on patient outcomes.
Method: A systematic review of cultural competence training interventions for healthcare workers including papers published January 2010 to January 2021, identified through MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERIC and APA PsychINFO.
