One in Seven Insulin-Treated Patients in Developing Countries Reported Poor Persistence with Insulin Therapy: Real World Evidence from the Cross-Sectional International Diabetes Management Practices Study (IDMPS).

Introduction: Although poor adherence to insulin is widely recognised, periodic discontinuation of insulin may cause more severe hyperglycaemia than poor adherence. We assessed persistence with insulin therapy in patients with type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) in developing countries and the reasons for insulin discontinuation.

Methods: The International Diabetes Management Practices Study collected real-world data from developing countries in seven waves between 2005 and 2017.

High Prevalence of Depressive Symptoms in Patients With Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes in Developing Countries: Results From the International Diabetes Management Practices Study.

Objective: Depression is common in people with diabetes, but data from developing countries are scarce. We evaluated the prevalence and risk factors for depressive symptoms in patients with diabetes using data from the International Diabetes Management Practices Study (IDMPS).

Research Design And Methods: IDMPS is an ongoing multinational, cross-sectional study investigating quality of care in patients with diabetes in real-world settings.

Gender differences in vaccine therapy: where are we in COVID-19 pandemic?

Vaccination is one of the greatest achievements of public health. Vaccination programs have contributed to the decline in mortality and morbidity of various infectious diseases. This review aims to investigate the impact of sex/gender on the vaccine acceptance, responses, and outcomes.

Screening, prevalence, treatment and control of kidney disease in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes in low-to-middle-income countries (2005-2017): the International Diabetes Management Practices Study (IDMPS).

Aims/hypothesis: Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney disease worldwide. There is limited information on screening, treatment and control of kidney disease in patients with diabetes in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs).

Methods: The International Diabetes Management Practices Study is an ongoing, non-interventional study of clinical profiles and practices among patients receiving outpatient care mainly by internal medicine physicians and endocrinologists in LMICs.

Correction to: Persistent poor glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes in developing countries: 12 years of real-world evidence of the International Diabetes Management Practices Study (IDMPS).

Unfortunately, the standard deviations for 'last HbA measurement' in mmol/mol were miscalculated in Table 1 of this paper.

Persistent poor glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes in developing countries: 12 years of real-world evidence of the International Diabetes Management Practices Study (IDMPS).

Aims/hypothesis: We evaluated the secular trend of glycaemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes in developing countries, where data are limited.

Methods: The International Diabetes Management Practices Study provides real-world evidence of patient profiles and diabetes care practices in developing countries in seven cross-sectional waves (2005-2017). At each wave, each physician collected data from ten consecutive participants with type 2 diabetes during a 2 week period.

The interdisciplinary team in type 2 diabetes management: Challenges and best practice solutions from real-world scenarios.

The has previously recommended the implementation of an interdisciplinary team (IDT) approach to type 2 diabetes (T2DM) management as one of 10 practical steps for health care professionals to help more people achieve their glycaemic goal. This article discusses some of the key contributors to success and also the challenges faced when applying IDT care, by examining case studies and examples from around the world. The real-world practices discussed show that implementing successful interdisciplinary care in diabetes is possible despite significant barriers such as established hierarchal structures and financial resource constraints.

A global study of the unmet need for glycemic control and predictor factors among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who have achieved optimal fasting plasma glucose control on basal insulin.

Background: This study used data from different sources to identify the extent of the unmet need for postprandial glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after the initiation of basal insulin therapy in Europe, Asia Pacific, the United States, and Latin America.

Methods: Different levels of evidence were used as available for each country/region, with data extracted from seven randomized controlled trials (RCTs), three clinical trial registries (CTRs), and three electronic medical record (EMR) databases. Glycemic status was categorized as "well controlled" (glycated hemoglobin [HbA ] at target [<7%]), "residual hyperglycemia" (fasting plasma glucose [FPG] but not HbA at target [FPG <7.

Self-Treated Hypoglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Results from the Second Wave of an International Cross-Sectional Survey.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the total frequency of self-treated hypoglycemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients using regimens including basal insulin analogs, and to describe the psychological impact and behavioral response to these events from the perspective of patients and prescribers (i.e., hospital specialists and primary care physicians).

Change in the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in a population of medical students: 6-year follow-up.

Students of a university hospital were assessed in 2007 and later in 2013 to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS version 17.0.

Clinical, radiological and histological evaluation of biphasic calcium phosphate bioceramic wedges filling medial high tibial valgisation osteotomies.

We report clinical, radiological and histological findings following high tibial valgisation osteotomy (HTVO) using micro-macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate wedges fixed with a plate and locking screws. From 1999 to 2002, 43 knees were operated on and studied prospectively. All underwent clinical and radiological follow-up at days 1, 90, and 365 to evaluate consolidation and bone substitute interfaces.

Trapezium excision and ligament reconstruction with abductor pollicis longus for basal arthritis of the thumb.

Symptomatic arthritis of the trapeziometacarpal joint is frequent. Trapeziectomy and ligamentoplasty with the abductor policis longus, that is a suspensionplasty, gives good results and can last for a long time.

[Carpal tunnel syndrome revealed by digital ulcerations caused by arterial vasospasm].

Carpal tunnel syndrome presenting as a trophic disorder in the hand is unusual. We report the case of a 66 year old man in whom nerve conduction tests confirmed compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel, and vasospasm in the corresponding area was demonstrated by arteriography for, we believe, the first time. Simple decompression of the carpal tunnel brought about total recovery.

[Biphasic ceramic wedge and plate fixation with locked adjustable screws for open wedge tibial osteotomy].

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this radiological study was to evaluate the use of a biphasic ceramic wedge combined with plate fixation with locked adjustable screws for open wedge tibial osteotomy.

Material And Methods: Twenty-six consecutive patients (27 knees) underwent surgery between December 1999 and March 2002 to establish a normal lower-limb axis. The series included 6 women and 20 men, mean age 50 years (16 right knees and 11 left knees).

[Compression of the deep motor branch of the ulnar nerve by a synovial cyst. A case report].

The authors report a case of compression of the deep palmar branch of the ulnar nerve beyond the piso-uniform arch by a ganglion cyst. A review of the literature finds this pattern as uncommon.
