Variation in the calpain 10 gene has recently been shown to be associated with type 2 diabetes by positional cloning. Since then, studies on calpain 10 have been started in correlation with diabetes and insulin-mediated signaling. In this review, the activation mechanism of calpain by calcium ions, which is essential to understand its physiological functions, is discussed on the basis of recent X-ray structural analyses. Further, special features of the structure of calpain 10 that differ from those of typical micro - or m-calpain used in most studies are summarized together with discussion of the physiological function of calpain with respect to type 2 diabetes.

The recommended threshold for the time spent on continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is established at 70%. However, glucose outcomes in children with type 1 diabetes (CwD) using CGM for a different proportion of time within this threshold have not been evaluated yet. The study aims to compare glycemic parameters among CwD who spent 70%-89% and ≥90% on CGM using the population-wide data from the Czech national pediatric diabetes registry ČENDA.

To use electronic health record (EHR) data to develop a scalable and transferrable model to predict 6-month risk for diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA)-related hospitalization or emergency care in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D). To achieve a sharable predictive model, we engineered features using EHR data mapped to the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative's (T1DX-QI) data schema used by 60+ U.S.

Multi-targeted therapies are gaining attention in the management of multifactorial diseases due to their poly pharmacology, enhanced potency and reduced toxicity. Metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity necessitate multi-targeted therapy to improve insulin sensitivity, regulate glucose homeostasis and support weight loss. Medicinal plants rich in bioactive compounds exhibit multi-targetted action with minimal side effects.

Background: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) with germline CDH1 variants are at risk of overtreatment when precancer lesions are detected with endoscopic screening. We characterize diffuse-type gastric cancer prevalence and survival in AYA managed with prophylactic total gastrectomy (PTG) or endoscopic surveillance.
Methods: Prospective cohort study of 188 individuals aged 39 and younger enrolled from January 27, 2017, to May 1, 2023.
Physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling of gliclazide for different genotypes of CYP2C9 and CYP2C19.

Gliclazide is a sulfonylurea hypoglycemic agent used to treat type 2 diabetes. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2C9 and CYP2C19 are primarily involved in the hepatic metabolism of gliclazide. The two CYP isozymes are highly polymorphic, and their genetic polymorphisms are known to significantly impact the pharmacokinetics of gliclazide.
