Introduction: Being one of the "big three" most cultivated cereals in the world, wheat plays a crucial role in ensuring global food/nutrition security, supplying close to 20% of the global needs for calories and proteins. However, the increasingly large fluctuations between years in temperatures and precipitation due to climate change cause important variations in wheat production worldwide. This fact makes wheat breeding programs a tool that, far from going out of fashion, is becoming the most important solution to develop varieties that can provide humanity with the sufficient amount of food it demands without forgetting the objective of quality.

- - The study investigates how maternal lipid profiles, particularly triglycerides, in the third trimester relate to the risk of having larger-than-normal babies (LGA) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
- - Researchers analyzed data from 100 pregnant women with GDM, finding that higher pre-pregnancy BMI and elevated triglyceride levels were linked to an increased likelihood of delivering LGA newborns.
- - The results suggest that high triglyceride levels in late pregnancy are a significant predictor of LGA, regardless of factors like blood sugar control and weight gain during pregnancy, warranting further research on this relationship.
Background: The management of antidiabetic therapy in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) has evolved beyond glycemic control. In this context, Brazil and Portugal defined a joint panel of four leading diabetes societies to update the guideline published in 2020.
Methods: The panelists searched MEDLINE (via PubMed) for the best evidence from clinical studies on treating T2D and its cardiorenal complications.
Background: Fragility fractures are increasingly recognized as a complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The FRAX-Port® is a calculation tool that assesses the 10-year risk of either major and hip fracture, integrating several clinical risk factors, including T2DM. We aimed to evaluate the fracture risk in adults with T2DM and determine the rate of patients at high risk for fracture under anti-osteoporotic therapy.

However, some CKD mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) may persist, even after transplantation. There are only a few studies addressing the long-term progression of bone mineral density (BMD) in these patients.
