Diabetes is widely prevalent among older people and can influence accelerated cognitive decline. Gender-based disparities may contribute to variations in cognitive decline. This study examined gender differences in cognitive function and associated factors among older adults with diabetes.

We randomly assigned 160 patients with type 2 diabetes on oral antidiabetic drugs 1:1 to the TENS study device (n = 81) and placebo (n = 79). 147 (92%) randomized participants (mean [SD] age 59 [10] years, 92 men [58%], mean [SD] baseline HbA level 8.

Materials And Methods: In this multicenter retrospective study, adult patients with T2DM who initiated dapagliflozin after May 1 2016 either as add-on or switch therapy were included. Changes in clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated at 3 and 6 months.
Article Synopsis
- Type 2 diabetes is linked to an increased risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is characterized by immunosenescence, which is the aging of the immune system, particularly affecting T cells in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).
- A study involving 523 adults with type 2 diabetes found that immunosenescence positively correlates with age and is more pronounced in diabetic patients with impaired renal function, especially in those with CKD stage 3.
- While the immune system shows signs of aging regardless of proteinuria or glucose control, factors like age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) are more closely associated with changes in immune cell populations among these patients.
Background/purpose: Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) and bacteremia caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae is a common complication among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of rectal carriage and serotype distribution of K. pneumoniae amongst DM patients and their clinical relevance.

Our aim was to evaluate the 28-day case-fatality rate among hospitalized DKA and HHS patients in a teaching hospital in Taiwan from 1991 to 2005.
Methods: DKA and HHS admissions, identified from in-patient electronic database, were linked to Taiwan's national death registry.
Background: The protective effect of +45T >G polymorphism in the adiponectin gene (ADIPOQ) on coronary artery disease (CAD) has been demonstrated in European populations, so this study investigated the effect of +45T >G polymorphism on the risk of CAD and its interactions with other metabolic risk factors in a Chinese population.
Methods And Results: The +45T >G polymorphism (rs2241766) of ADIPOQ was genotyped in 600 patients with angiographically diagnosed CAD and in 718 controls. The G allele at the +45T >G polymorphism was associated with a lower risk of CAD (odds ratio (OR), 0.
