Obesity and Chronic Kidney Disease in US Adults With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Objective: Obesity is a global public health challenge and strongly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), but its burden and effects are not well understood in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Particularly, the link between obesity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in T1D is poorly characterized.

Research Design And Methods: We included all T1D and, for comparison, T2D in the Geisinger Health System from 2004 to 2018.

Stretch too far: rectus sheath haematoma secondary to repetitive trauma and increased intra-abdominal pressure.

A 26-year-old man presented with a 4-week history of right lower quadrant abdominal pain which was managed conservatively at home with ibuprofen.

A Distal Radius Nonunion Treated with A Dorsal Spanning Distraction Plate: A Case Report.

Distal radius fractures are one of the most common orthopedic injuries, particularly in the elderly population. Distal radius nonunions are rare and are usually associated with a patient's underlying health conditions. We present a patient who developed a distal radius nonunion following treatment of an open wrist fracture with an external fixation frame.
