Assessing Current Knowledge of Hearing Impairment With Diabetes by Surveying Providers With CBDCE Certification.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess current knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding hearing impairment and screening referrals in patients with diabetes among providers who have a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CBDCE) Certification.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey created through Qualtrics was emailed to health care providers in the United States with CDCES certification. Providers responded regarding knowledge and importance of hearing impairment compared to other diabetes complications, when they would refer a patient to an audiologist, the percentage of patients referred, and awareness of over-the-counter hearing aids.

Prolactinoma extension as a contributing factor in dopamine agonist-induced CSF rhinorrhea: a systematic review of the literature.

Background: Dopamine agonist-induced cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) rhinorrhea is an uncommon treatment-related complication arising in 6.1% of prolactinoma patients treated with dopamine agonists. Locally invasive prolactinomas may create CSF fistulae through formation of dural and osseous skull base defects.

Effect of CFTR modulator therapy on cystic fibrosis-related diabetes.

Background: Half of adults with cystic fibrosis (CF) develop CF-related diabetes (CFRD). CFRD contributes to worsened pulmonary function and malnutrition. We undertook this study to determine the effect of cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator (CFTR) modulators on CRFD.

SPONTANEOUS CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LEAK AFTER INITIATION OF DOPAMINE AGONIST THERAPY IN MACROPROLACTINOMAS: TWO CASE REPORTS AND A LITERATURE REVIEW.

Objective: To describe 2 spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks complicating treatment of macroprolactinoma (MPRL) with dopamine agonist (DA) therapy.

Methods: We present the 2 cases of spontaneous, DA-related CSF leaks. Prolactin levels were used to assess hyperprolactinemia.
