Risk of Hypoglycemia Associated with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues and ACE Inhibitors in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review.

Insulin secretagogues and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) are commonly co-prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Case reports suggesting that co-administration of insulin secretagogues with ACEIs is associated with an increased risk of serious hypoglycemia have led to warnings regarding a drug-drug interaction in widely used drug compendia. However, subsequent studies have had inconsistent results.

The Philadelphia Beverage Tax and Pediatric Weight Outcomes.

Associations of the Philadelphia sweetened beverage tax with changes in adult body weight: an interrupted time series analysis.

A Narrative Review of Public Health Interventions for Childhood Obesity.

Purpose Of Review: Public health interventions that intervene on macrolevel systems hold the promise of reducing childhood obesity at the population level through prevention. The purpose of this review is to highlight some of the recent and best scientific evidence related to public health interventions for the prevention of childhood obesity. We provide a narrative review of scientific evidence for six categories of public health interventions and their impact on childhood obesity: federal nutrition assistance programs, programs implemented in early care and education centers, interventions to support healthy nutrition and physical activity in schools, community-based programs and policies, labeling policies and marketing to children, and taxes on sugar sweetened beverages (SSB).

Changes in Dental Outcomes After Implementation of the Philadelphia Beverage Tax.

Introduction: Beverage taxes are associated with declines in sugar-sweetened beverage sales and consumption, but few studies have evaluated the associations of these taxes with health outcomes. This study analyzed changes in dental decay after the implementation of the Philadelphia sweetened beverage tax.

Methods: Electronic dental record data were obtained on 83,260 patients living in Philadelphia and control areas from 2014 to 2019.

Low-income parents' perceptions of a sweetened beverage tax in Philadelphia.
