Background & Aim: Previous studies suggest that inadequate glycaemic control in diabetic patients might be related to the type of carbohydrates the patients consume regularly. Thus, we aimed to assess glucose and insulin responses after diabetic and non-diabetic subjects ingested 3 commonly consumed carbohydrate-based foods.
Methods: Thirty-eight type-2 diabetic and 27 non-diabetic subjects were studied in 3 different occasions of 7 days apart. On each day of the study, anthropometric indices were measured and after collecting fasting blood samples, subjects randomly consumed bread, roti or rice within 10 min. Subsequently 7 ml of venous blood samples were collected at 60, 90, 120 and 150 min for determination of glucose and insulin responses.
Results: Although the diabetic patients were older than the healthy subjects (P < 0.05), both subjects had similar weight, body mass index and waist and hip circumferences (P > 0.05). The mean fasting and post meal plasma glucose concentrations for the 3 test foods were higher in diabetic patients than the corresponding values for the healthy subjects (all; P < 0.001). Generally, roti elicited the highest total incremental glucose responses in the diabetic patients irrespective of ethnic group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: There were variations in glucose and insulin responses to the 3 test foods. However, roti elicited the highest postprandial hyperglycaemia and should therefore be discouraged in regular dietary plan of diabetic patients.

While recent studies suggested a potential causal link between type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) but not type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the involved mechanism remains unclear. Here, using a Mendelian randomization (MR) approach, we verified the causal relationship between the two types of diabetes mellitus and IPF and investigated the possible role of inflammation in the association between diabetes mellitus and IPF. Based on genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data of T1DM, T2DM, and IPF, the univariable MR, multivariable MR (MVMR), and mediation MR were successively used to analyze the causal relationship.

To evaluate the accuracy of home self-monitoring portable blood glucose meters, we analyzed the current problems of patients using portable blood glucose meters and put forward reasonable suggestions. A self-designed questionnaire was used to survey 142 patients and 132 healthcare professionals. The questionnaire consisted of 16 items with an overall score ranging from 1 to 13 (with a higher score indicating better experience).

Background: This study investigates the therapeutic efficacy of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS) technology paired with Kinesio Taping in patients with persistent nonspecific low back pain, as well as the effect on neuromuscular function and pain self-efficacy.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical study was conducted to collect clinical data on DNS combined with KT for the treatment of chronic nonspecific low back pain from November 2023 to April 2024. The inclusion criteria were patients with chronic nonspecific lower back pain, aged between 18 and 30 years old, and without serious underlying medical conditions, such as cardiac disease, hypertension, and diabetes.

Omissions or delays in desmopressin can result in serious patient harm in patients with Arginine-Vasopressin Deficiency (AVP-D), formally known as Cranial Diabetes Insipidus (CDI). Desmopressin administration practice in hospitals has not been thoroughly investigated previously. This study evaluated desmopressin prescription and administration practice at a large tertiary centre.

Objective: The present study aimed to investigate the association between pituitary adenoma (PA) consistency and other measurable tumor characteristics, extent of resection (EOR), postoperative complications, and outcomes.
Methods: In total, 507 PA resections were intraoperatively assigned a consistency grade from 1 (cystic/hemorrhagic tumors) to 5 (calcified tumors) based on intraoperative tumor characteristics. Tumor consistency was analyzed in tertiles (grades 1 and 2, grade 3, and grades 4 and 5) to determine associations with tumor characteristics, EOR, recurrence, postoperative outcomes, and complications.
