Time to first remission and survival in patients with acromegaly: Evidence from the UK Acromegaly Register Study (UKAR).

Objective: This study aimed to understand the effect of time to remission of acromegaly on survival in people living with acromegaly.

Design, Patients And Measurement: This cross-sectional study used data from the UK Acromegaly Register. We considered remission of acromegaly growth hormone controlled at ≤2 μg/L following the diagnosis of acromegaly.

Effect of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring in people with diabetes with a psychosocial indication for initiation.

Aim: To understand the effect of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) in people with diabetes with a 'psychosocial' indication for access.

Methods: The study utilized baseline and follow-up data from the Association of British Clinical Diabetologists nationwide audit of people with diabetes in the UK. Diabetes-related distress (DRD) was assessed using the two-item diabetes-related distress scale (DDS).

Clinical features of type 1 diabetes in older adults and the impact of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring: An Association of British Clinical Diabetologists (ABCD) study.

Aims: To evaluate the clinical features and impact of flash glucose monitoring in older adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) across age groups defined as young-old, middle-old, and old-old.

Materials And Methods: Clinicians were invited to submit anonymized intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM) user data to a secure web-based tool within the National Health Service secure network. We collected baseline data before isCGM initiation, such as demographics, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) values from the previous 12 months, Gold scores and Diabetes Distress Scale (DDS2) scores.

Premature Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: A Case of Myocardial Infarction Seven Years after Bentall Procedure in a Nigerian Man.

Surgical procedures often carry varying risk of post-procedural complications. The Bentall procedure for managing aortic root diseases has known complications including graft infection, pseudoaneurysm of the aorta or coronary arteries, embolisation and coronary insufficiency. The last three complications can cause myocardial infarction, are evaluated with coronary angiography and have been well described in the literature.
