Association of Diabetes Mellitus with Carotid Artery Stenosis Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft in Bangladesh: A Prospective Cross-Sectional Study.

Background: Atherosclerosis is a systemic vascular disease commonly affecting coronary and carotid arteries, particularly in diabetes mellitus (DM). This study assessed the association of DM with significant carotid artery stenosis (CAS) among the coronary artery disease (CAD) population undergoing isolated elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study evaluated 100 Bangladeshi CAD patients who underwent isolated elective CABG from January 2017 to September 2019.

Fixed-Dose Combination of Canagliflozin and Metformin as an Adjunct to Diet and Exercise in Indian Adults with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Results from a Multicentric, Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase IV Study.

Background: Canagliflozin and metformin fixed-dose combination (CANA/MET FDC), an approved treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in India, effectively lowers glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), promotes weight loss, and improves patient adherence. As a regulatory requirement, we aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CANA/MET FDC in Indian patients with T2DM.

Research Design And Methods: This prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm, phase IV study included Indian patients with T2DM (aged 18-65 years) inadequately controlled on diet and exercise.

COVID-19 impact on reproduction and fertility.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an unexpected worldwide situation, and all countries have implemented their own policies to curb the spread of the virus. The pathophysiology of COVID-19 has opened numerous hypotheses of functional alterations in different physiological aspects. The direct impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the urogenital organs of males and females is still to be assessed.

Effectiveness and Safety of Physician-Led Versus Patient-Led Titration of Insulin Glargine in Indian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Subanalysis of the Asian Treat to Target Lantus Study (ATLAS).

Titration of basal insulin led by either the physician or the patient is not well understood in India. This analysis of Indian subset of Asian Treat to Target Lantus Study (ATLAS) compared effectiveness of patient-led with physician-led titration of once-daily insulin glargine 100 U/mL (Glargine-U-100) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) uncontrolled on oral antidiabetes drug (OAD). In this open-label parallel group study, randomized patients (either physician-led or patient-led [self-titration] group) followed the same dose titration algorithm (fasting blood glucose [FBG] target 110 mg/dL [6.
