Cardiovascular outcomes with glucagon-like peptide 1 agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors in patients with type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis.

Background: According to available research, there have been no head-to-head studies comparing the effect of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonists and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors on cardiovascular outcomes among patients with type 2 diabetes not reaching glycemic goal with metformin.

Methods: Relevant studies were identified through electronic searches of PubMed and EMBASE published up to January 15, 2020. Efficacy outcomes of interest included the composite of cardiovascular death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke, its individual components, all-cause death, and hospitalization for heart failure (HF).

Prediction of shelf-life and changes in the quality characteristics of semidried persimmons stored at different temperatures.

his study was performed to investigate changes in the quality characteristics and shelf-life of semidried persimmons stored at different temperatures using acceleration experiments. In order to estimate quality changes in the samples, we evaluated the physicochemical properties, microbiological changes, and sensory features of the samples periodically after storage at -20, -10, 0, and 10 °C. At all storage temperatures, CIE values decreased significantly.

Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma Initially Presenting as Atypical Cervical Lymphadenopathy.

Primary peritoneal carcinoma (PPC) is a rare cancer arising from the extraovarian peritoneum and is of müllerian origin. PPC and epithelial ovarian carcinoma share similar clinical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical features. Clinical symptoms and findings include abdominal distension and ascites.
