Type 2 diabetes mellitus pharmacological remission with dapagliflozin plus oral semaglutide.

Dapagliflozin, a sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitor and semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist, have both demonstrated efficacy in glycemic control, reducing blood pressure, body weight, risk of renal and heart failure in type 2 diabetes mellitus. In this observational, real-world, study we aimed to investigate the efficacy of the combination therapy with those two agents over glycemic control. We thus obtained the data of 1335 patients with type 2 diabetes followed by 11 Diabetes centers in Lombardia, Italy.

Dapagliflozin acutely improves kidney function in type 2 diabetes mellitus. The PRECARE study.

Dapagliflozin has been demonstrated to improve glycemic control, blood pressure, and body weight in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D); indeed, it can also reduce the risk of progression to renal failure, of hospitalization for heart failure and of cardiovascular death. We aim to investigate the acute effect of Dapagliflozin on kidney function in the common clinical practice in T2D. This is a study including 1402 patients with T2D recruited from 11 centers in Lombardia, Italy, who were evaluated at baseline and after 6 months of treatment with Dapagliflozin 10 mg per day.

One year of Hybrid Closed Loop on peritoneal dialysis: a case report.

Background: Automated insulin delivery is a game changer for type 1 diabetes treatment.

Objective: To describe the benefits of automated insulin delivery in a specific complex setting.

Methods: We are herein presenting a case of a patient with type 1 diabetes, in which Hybrid Closed Loop (Medtronic Minimed 670G on Auto Mode) was used over a year during automated peritoneal dialysis.

Increased complexity of short-term heart rate variability in hyperthyroid patients during orthostatic challenge.

Hyperthyroidism is a pathological condition characterized by an altered autonomic cardiovascular control, resulting in an increase of the sympathetic and a decrease of the parasympathetic modulation of heart rate variability. Recently, the entropy-based indices derived from short-term heart period variability have been proved to be helpful in evaluating the autonomic cardiovascular modulation. The aim of our study was to evaluate the autonomic cardiovascular modulation of hyperthyroid subjects at rest and during standing using spectral parameters and corrected conditional entropy indices derived from short-term heart period variability in 12 hyperthyroid (HYPTH) and 9 normal healthy (N) females.
