Posttransplant Diabetes Mellitus (PTDM) Following Solid Organ Transplantation - Systematic Analysis of Prevalence and Total Mortality and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Interventional Studies Aimed at Lowering Blood Glucose.

Objective: A systematic review of the prevalence and prognosis of posttransplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) following the transplantation of heart, lung, liver and kidney and a metaanalysis of randomised studies of glucose-lowering treatment is reported.

Methods: We searched for publications on solid organ transplants and PTDM in relation to the risk and total mortality of PTDM and randomized controlled trials aiming at reducing glucose levels.

Results: PTDM prevalence one year after transplantation was reported to be 9-40%.

Primo non nocere or maximum survival in grade 2 gliomas? A medical ethical question.

Background: Maximum safe resection is the "gold standard" in surgical treatment of grade 2 gliomas (G2Gs), aiming to achieve maximal survival benefit with minimal risk of functional deficit.

Objective: To investigate the attitude of patients and experts towards more extensive surgery with a trade-off between neurological function and survival time.

Methods: Eight patients and seven experts participated in semi-structured focus group interviews.
