A series of severe neurologic complications after bariatric surgery in France: the NEUROBAR Study.

Objectives: The aim of the Neurologic complications after BARiatric surgery (NEUROBAR) study was to define, which factors (anthropometric, nutritional, surgical, etc.

Serum tenascin-C is independently associated with increased major adverse cardiovascular events and death in individuals with type 2 diabetes: a French prospective cohort.

Aims/hypothesis: Tenascin-C (TN-C) is an extracellular matrix glycoprotein highly expressed in inflammatory and cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Serum TN-C has not yet been specifically studied in individuals with type 2 diabetes, a condition associated with chronic low-grade inflammation and increased CV disease risk. In this study, we hypothesised that elevated serum TN-C at enrolment in participants with type 2 diabetes would be associated with increased risk of death and major adverse CV events (MACE) during follow-up.

Urinary Sodium Concentration Is an Independent Predictor of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in a Type 2 Diabetes Cohort Population.

Objective: Sodium intake is associated with cardiovascular outcomes. However, no study has specifically reported an association between cardiovascular mortality and urinary sodium concentration (U). We examined the association of U with mortality in a cohort of type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients.
