Evaluating Personalized Add-On Ayurveda Therapy in Oxygen-Dependent Diabetic COVID-19 Patients: A 60-Day Study of Symptoms, Inflammation, and Radiological Changes.

Background Effective management of both acute and post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 is essential, particularly for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, who are at increased risk of severe pro-inflammatory responses and complications. Persistent symptoms and residual lung and cardiovascular damage in post-coronavirus disease (COVID-19) individuals highlight the need for comprehensive long-term treatment strategies. Conventional treatments, including Remdesivir and glucocorticoids, have limitations, suggesting that further investigation into Ayurvedic therapies could be beneficial, though controlled trials are currently limited.

Gut microbiome encoded purine and amino acid pathways present prospective biomarkers for predicting metformin therapy efficacy in newly diagnosed T2D patients.

Metformin is widely used for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). However, the efficacy of metformin monotherapy is highly variable within the human population. Understanding the potential indirect or synergistic effects of metformin on gut microbiota composition and encoded functions could potentially offer new insights into predicting treatment efficacy and designing more personalized treatments in the future.

From classical dualistic antagonism to hormone synergy: potential of overlapping action of glucagon, insulin and GLP-1 for the treatment of diabesity.

The increasing prevalence of 'diabesity', a combination of type 2 diabetes and obesity, poses a significant global health challenge. Unhealthy lifestyle factors, including poor diet, sedentary behaviour, and high stress levels, combined with genetic and epigenetic factors, contribute to the diabesity epidemic. Diabesity leads to various significant complications such as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and certain cancers.

A Data-Driven Framework for Clinical Decision Support Systems in Positive Airway Pressure and Oxygen Titration.

Background: Current obstructive sleep apnea treatment relies on manual PAP titration, but it has limitations. Complex interactions during titration and variations in SpO data accuracy pose challenges. Patients with co-occurring chronic hypercapnia may require precise oxygen titration.

Association of Endotoxemia with Low-Grade Inflammation, Metabolic Syndrome and Distinct Response to Lipopolysaccharide in Type 1 Diabetes.

The association of endotoxemia with metabolic syndrome (MS) and low-grade inflammation in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is little-studied. We investigated the levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), endogenous anti-endotoxin core antibodies (EndoCAb IgG and IgM) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in 74 T1D patients with different MS statuses and 33 control subjects. Within the T1D group, 31 patients had MS.
