Background: Severe hypoglycemia (SH) poses a significant challenge in the management of type 1 diabetes (T1D); however, the factors that offer protection other than diabetes technologies are under-studied. The primary objective of this study was to examine the association between hypoglycemia problem-solving (HPS) abilities and severe hypoglycemic events in adults with T1D using Poisson regression analysis.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 287 adults with T1D (mean age: 50.
Article Synopsis
- * The study surveyed 233 adults with T1D, revealing that 11.6% experienced IAH, which was linked to a 5.41 times higher odds of near-miss driving incidents.
- * Results indicated that individuals with IAH had poorer hypoglycemia problem-solving skills compared to those without, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy increased the risk of developing IAH, while continuous insulin infusion did not reduce it.
Background: Hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with mortality and morbidity, especially when awareness of hypoglycemia is impaired. This study aimed to investigate the protective and risk factors for impaired awareness of hypoglycemia (IAH) in adults with T1D.
Methods: This cross-sectional study enrolled 288 adults with T1D (mean age, 50.
Background: We previously reported that endoscopic response evaluation can preoperatively predict the prognosis and distribution of residual tumors after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). In this study, we developed artificial intelligence (AI)-guided endoscopic response evaluation using a deep neural network to discriminate endoscopic responders (ERs) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after NAC.
Method: Surgically resectable ESCC patients who underwent esophagectomy following NAC were retrospectively analyzed in this study.
We reported a novel transport mechanism of curcumin, independent of improved solubility, which involved direct contact of amorphous solid particles with the cell membrane. This mechanism has potential as a novel systemic delivery system of poorly water-soluble drugs. In this study, the transport mechanism of furosemide (FUR), which is transported by the same novel mechanism, was examined.
