Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the differences in cytotoxic CX3CR1+ T cell subsets between two types of large vessel vasculitis: giant cell arteritis (GCA) and Takayasu's arteritis (TAK).
- Scientists analyzed blood samples from 30 patients (22 with GCA and 8 with TAK) and 16 healthy individuals to compare the proportion of CX3CR1+ CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, as well as their presence in inflamed arteries.
- The results reveal a significant increase in CX3CR1+ CD4+ T cells in GCA, associated with inflammation severity, while no such correlation was found in TAK, suggesting that these cells play a crucial role
Hyperechogenicity and histopathological features of focal liver lesions.
J Med Ultrason (2001)
July 2024
The identification and accurate diagnosis of focal liver lesions are important in modern medicine, where diagnostic radiology plays an essential role. This review aimed to examine the hyperechogenicity and histopathological features of focal liver lesions. Hyperechogenic liver lesions can be either benign or malignant.

- * 600 participants underwent CGM and carotid artery imaging at the start and after 104 weeks to assess changes in atherosclerosis, primarily measuring intima-media thickness (IMT) and grey-scale median (GSM).
- * Results showed slight increases in mean IMT and thickened-lesion GSM over the study period, with significant associations found between baseline CGM-derived metrics (time in range and coefficient of variation) and changes in mean GSM over time.
Context: Current guidelines recommend assessing glycemic control using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) measurement.
Objective: This study aimed to clarify the characteristics of patients who might benefit from CGM metrics in addition to HbA1c monitoring.
Methods: CGM metrics, specifically time in range (TIR), time below range (TBR), and time above range (TAR), were determined in 999 outpatients with type 2 diabetes and compared between HbA1c categories (HbA1c < 53 mmol/mol [7.
Aims: The aim of this study was to define the relationship between time in range (TIR) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods: The glycemic profile of 999 Japanese patients was analyzed with FreeStyle Libre Pro Continuous Glucose Monitoring (FLP-CGM) while they continued their prescribed glucose-lowering medications. FLP-CGM data recorded over 8 consecutive days were analyzed.
