Background: The coexistence of tuberculosis (TB) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) presents unique challenges in treatment optimization and management, given the mutual exacerbation of disease processes.
Objective: This multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two different treatment durations (6-month versus 9-month regimens) regimen for patients with drug-susceptible pulmonary tuberculosis (DS-PTB) and concurrent type 2 diabetes (DM).
Methods: Patients with DS-PTB and type-2 DM from 22 hospitals in China are enrolled.
Background: Previous studies have shown the interaction between age and socioeconomic status (SES) on the risk of infertility in the UK, but the association is still unclear in the United States. Therefore, the present study investigated the effect of age on the relationship between SES and the risk of infertility in American women.
Methods: The study included adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2013 to 2018.
Background: There is limited concrete evidence connecting serum uric acid levels to female infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if serum uric acid levels are independently related to female infertility.
Methods: From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2013-2020, a total sample of 5872 chosen female participants between the ages of 18 and 49 were identified for this cross-sectional study.
Objective: To develop and validate a nomogram for predicting the risk of peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and assess its clinical application value.
Methods: Clinical data were retrospectively collected from 474 patients with T2DM at the Air Force Medical Center between January 2019 and April 2022. The patients were divided into training and validation sets using the random number table method in a ratio of 7:3.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to find biomarkers for Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) to help in developing new treatments.
- Researchers analyzed mRNA expression data from blood cells of T1DM patients and healthy individuals, identifying 60 immune-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and narrowing them down to three key hub genes: ANP32A-IT1, ESCO2, and NBPF1.
- The analysis highlighted significant immune cell differences between T1DM and normal samples and showed that the identified hub genes have strong diagnostic potential, with high area under curve (AUC) values exceeding 0.8.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between serum triglyceride levels and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in women from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Methods: Adults who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2005 to 2018 were included in the study. Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to assess the relationship between serum triglyceride levels and the incidence and severity of SUI.
