Preexposition Prophylaxis With Truvada (Tenofovir/Emtricitabine) as Potential Cause of Celiac Disease-Like Enteropathy.

We present here a case of a 39-year-old patient who presented with celiac-disease-like symptoms and MARSH 3a histology in duodenal biopsies under normal diet. Interestingly, HLA genotyping and celiac-specific serology were negative, primarily leading to exclusion of celiac disease. However, biopsies from a second endoscopy a couple of months later (still under normal diet) showed histologic progression of the disease to MARSH 3b and led to the re-evaluation of the out-of-hospital-obtained histological samples by a pathologist experienced in celiac disease.

[Other specific types of diabetes and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (update 2023)].

The heterogenous category "specific types of diabetes due to other causes" encompasses disturbances in glucose metabolism due to other endocrine disorders such as acromegaly or hypercortisolism, drug-induced diabetes (e.g. antipsychotic medications, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agents, highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), checkpoint inhibitors), genetic forms of diabetes (e.

Plasma Levels of the Bioactive Sphingolipid Metabolite S1P in Adult Cystic Fibrosis Patients: Potential Target for Immunonutrition?

Recent research has linked sphingolipid (SL) metabolism with cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activity, affecting bioactive lipid mediator sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P). We hypothesize that loss of CFTR function in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients influenced plasma S1P levels. Total and unbound plasma S1P levels were measured in 20 lung-transplanted adult CF patients and 20 healthy controls by mass spectrometry and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

MARKEDLY DELAYED INSULIN SECRETION AND A HIGH RATE OF UNDETECTED OVERT DIABETES CHARACTERIZE GLUCOSE METABOLISM IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS AFTER LUNG TRANSPLANTATION.

Objective: Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes (CFRD) is associated with adverse clinical outcomes and should be screened for by an annual oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Since pathophysiologic studies have mainly been performed in a pediatric/adolescent, nontransplanted collective, we aimed to assess parameters of insulin secretion and sensitivity in adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients after lung transplantation (LT).

Methods: Twelve adult CF patients after LT without known diabetes (33.
