Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating and severe complication of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The Australian Joint Registry reports an increasing number of debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) procedures, underscoring the need to comprehend outcomes for informed treatment decisions. This study aimed to determine outcome of DAIR procedures, evaluate time since primary TKA, and identify patient-related factors associated with DAIR failure.

Materials And Methods: In a randomized, open-label, crossover study, 24 Japanese individuals with T1D (20-64 years; glycated hemoglobin ≤9.
Objective: Insulin icodec (icodec), a once-weekly basal insulin analog, has been investigated in the phase 3a ONWARDS clinical trial program. This pharmacokinetic (PK)/pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling analysis of data from the ONWARDS 2 and 4 trials investigated efficacy outcomes and hypoglycemia rate in insulin-experienced individuals with type 2 diabetes when switching from daily basal insulin to icodec without or with a 50% one-time additional dose for the first injection only.
Methods: Data from 2 randomized, 26-week, phase 3a trials of insulin-experienced individuals with type 2 diabetes on a basal (ONWARDS 2) or basal-bolus (ONWARDS 4) insulin regimen were used for PK/PD model development and validation.

Background And Objective: IcoSema is being developed as a subcutaneous once-weekly fixed-ratio combination of the once-weekly basal insulin icodec and the once-weekly glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist semaglutide. This study investigated the pharmacokinetics of icodec and semaglutide in IcoSema versus separate administration of each component in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: In a randomised, double-blind, three-period crossover study, 31 individuals with T2DM (18-64 years, body weight 80-120 kg, glycosylated haemoglobin 6.
