Dermatologic care of patients with differences of sex development.

Background: Differences of sex development (DSD or disorders of sex development) are uncommon congenital conditions, characterized by atypical development of chromosomal, gonadal, or anatomic sex.

Objective: Dermatologic care is an important component of the multidisciplinary care needed for individuals with DSD. This article discusses the most common primary dermatologic manifestations of DSD in addition to the cutaneous manifestations of hormonal and surgical therapies in individuals with DSD.

An Assessment of Diversity, Inclusion, and Health Equity Training in Endocrinology Fellowship Programs in the United States.

Context: The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education has instituted common program requirements related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) for postgraduate trainees in the United States; however, the extent to which DEI training is being incorporated across endocrinology fellowship programs is unknown.

Objectives: To describe the sociodemographic representation and DEI training experiences within endocrinology fellowship programs.

Design, Setting, And Participants: National cross-sectional survey study of fellows and fellowship program leaders in the United States whose fellowships were members of the Association of Program Directors in Endocrinology and Metabolism.

The Estimating effectiveness from efficacy taxonomy (EFFECT): A tool to estimate the real-world impact of health interventions.

Aims: To develop and pilot test a taxonomy that empirically estimates health intervention effectiveness from efficacy data.

Methods: We developed a taxonomy to score health interventions across 11 items on a scale from 0-100. The taxonomy was pilot-tested in efficacy and effectiveness diabetes prevention studies identified in two separate systematic reviews; here, the face validity, inter-rater reliability and factor structure of the taxonomy were established.

Clinical characteristics and outcomes of symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients with diabetes.

Importance: The frequency and impact of asymptomatic hypoglycemia in hospitalized patients with diabetes is not known.

Objective: We determined the clinical characteristics and hospital outcomes of general medicine and surgery patients with symptomatic and asymptomatic hypoglycemia.

Research Design And Methods: Prospective observational study in adult patients with diabetes and blood glucose (BG) <70 mg/dL.

Global Diabetes Prevention Interventions: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis of the Real-World Impact on Incidence, Weight, and Glucose.

Objective: Understanding the real-world impacts of lifestyle modification (LSM) for diabetes prevention is imperative to inform resource allocation. The purpose of this study was to synthetize global evidence on the impact of LSM strategies on diabetes incidence and risk factors in one parsimonious model.

Research Design And Methods: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.

Increased cardiovascular disease, resource use, and costs before the clinical diagnosis of diabetes in veterans in the southeastern U.S.

Importance: Screening for diabetes might be more widespread if adverse associations with cardiovascular disease (CVD), resource use, and costs were known to occur earlier than conventional clinical diagnosis.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether adverse effects associated with diabetes begin prior to clinical diagnosis.

Design: Veterans with diabetes were matched 1:2 with controls by follow-up, age, race/ethnicity, gender, and VA facility.
