Recent studies have found compared with insulin glargine (IGlar), insulin degludec/aspart (IDeg/Asp) may provide adequate glycemic control and prevent hypoglycemia events in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Consequently, we performed a meta-analysis to appraise and compare the efficiency and safety of IDeg/Asp and IGlar in the treatment of T2DM. We sought the databases including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane library to confirm related articles which inspected the effect of IDeg/Asp versus IGlar for the treatment of T2DM until May 2021.

Internal tandem duplications (ITD) mutation within FMS-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3), the most frequent mutation happens in almost 20% acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, always predicts a poor prognosis. As a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor, sorafenib is clinically used for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), with its preclinical and clinical activity demonstrated in the treatment of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD) mutant AML. Even though it shows a rosy future in the AML treatment, the short response duration remains a vital problem that leads to treatment failure.

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 is a serious disease that can lead to pneumonia with a 4.3% mortality rate, and there are currently no effective treatments or vaccines.
  • Recent findings suggest that chest CT is more effective than chest X-rays for early diagnosis of the related pneumonia — NCIP.
  • This study introduces a machine learning method for automated NCIP diagnosis using a few-shot learning approach, achieving a test accuracy (AUC) of 0.91, which could enhance COVID-19 screening and diagnosis efforts.

A 48-year-old woman presented to our department and chest computed tomography (CT) revealed five pulmonary nodules, two of which were in the left upper lobe of the lung and three in the superior segment of the left lower lobe., All the lesions were resected for comprehensive histological assessment in order to distinguish synchronous multiple primary lung cancers (SMPLCs) from intrapulmonary metastases. The nodules were all successfully removed by minimally invasive surgery under the guidance of three dimensional (3D) reconstruction, in order to preserve as much lung function for the patient as possible.
