Hospitalization Outcomes of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Complicated with Diabetic Ketoacidosis.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) poses a significant medical emergency in both type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. Recent attention has focused on the emergence of euglycemic DKA associated with sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors.

Objectives: To understand the epidemiology and outcomes of DKA, particularly in T2DM patients.

Burr hole microsurgical subtemporal selective amygdalohippocampectomy.

Introduction: At present, selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SAH) has become popular in the treatment of drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). However, there is still an ongoing discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of this approach.

Methods: The study included a consecutive series of 43 adult patients with drug-resistant TLE, involving 24 women and 19 men (1.

Multiple hippocampal transections for mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of multiple hippocampal transections (MHT) in the treatment of drug-resistant mesial temporal lobe epilepsy.

Methods: Six patients underwent MHT at Burdenko Neurosurgery Center in 2018. The age of the patients varied from 18 to 43 years.

PERMIT study: a global pooled analysis study of the effectiveness and tolerability of perampanel in routine clinical practice.

The PERaMpanel pooled analysIs of effecTiveness and tolerability (PERMIT) study was a pooled analysis of data from 44 real-world studies from 17 countries, in which people with epilepsy (PWE; focal and generalized) were treated with perampanel (PER). Retention and effectiveness were assessed after 3, 6, and 12 months, and at the last visit (last observation carried forward). Effectiveness assessments included 50% responder rate (≥ 50% reduction in seizure frequency from baseline) and seizure freedom rate (no seizures since at least the prior visit); in PWE with status epilepticus, response was defined as seizures under control.

FRTL-5 Rat Thyroid Cells Release Thyroglobulin Sequestered in Exosomes: A Possible Novel Mechanism for Thyroglobulin Processing in the Thyroid.

Exosomes are 30-100 nm, membrane-bound vesicles containing specific cellular proteins, mRNAs, and microRNAs that take part in intercellular communication between cells. A possible role for exosomes in thyroid function has not been fully explored. In the present study, FRTL-5 rat thyroid cells were grown to confluence and received medium containing either thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), exogenous bovine thyroglobulin (bTg), or neither additive for 24 or 48 hours followed by collection of spent medium and ultracentrifugation to isolate small vesicles.
