This article describes a study examining the association between treatment with ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and incident hypoglycemia in patients with or without diabetes who were admitted to the internal medicine departments of a tertiary hospital in the Tel Aviv district of Israel. The authors found that treatment with ARBs, but not ACE inhibitors, compared with treatment with neither, was associated with a reduced risk of hypoglycemia regardless of diabetes status.

We aimed to compare hospital stay and survival of patients that underwent PC insertion because of acute calculus cholecystitis (ACC) compared to those who did not.
Methods: This is a retrospective study in which patients with gangrenous cholecystitis and perforation were excluded.
Background: Despite its wide use, evidence is inconclusive regarding the effect of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) in patients with chronic diseases and dementia among hospitalized patients with malnutrition.
Objectives: To examine the effect of PEG insertion on prognosis after the procedure.
Methods: This retrospective analysis of medical records included all adult patients who underwent PEG insertion between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2013 during their hospitalization.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed how changes in serum creatinine levels during hospitalization are linked to hypoglycemia, focusing on patients' medical charts.
- Out of 25,400 patients, 22.2% experienced a significant change in creatinine levels, which was associated with a higher incidence of hypoglycemia (13.1% vs. 4.1% in non-SCIC patients).
- The risk of hypoglycemia increased with the magnitude of creatinine change, with most hypoglycemic events occurring within the first week after this change, regardless of diabetes status.
