A number of relationships exist between diabetes mellitus and a series of cuteanous disorders. Skin lesions may reveal diabetes in a more or less specific way. They may also represent complications supervening in an already treated diabetic patient. Some of these dermatoses (acanthosis nigricans, purpuric and pigmented capillaritis) are markers of macrovascular complications. The same disorders and some others (xerosis, Dupuytren's disease) are more frequently associated with microangiopathy in Type II diabetes. Other skin diseases (alopecia areata, vitiligo) are markers of auto-immunity in Type I diabetes.

Fulminant Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Leading to Diabetic Ketoacidosis and Mesenteric Ischemia With Necrosis Following Pembrolizumab Administration: A Case Report.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as pembrolizumab, have revolutionized cancer therapy but can lead to severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs). We present a case of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and mesenteric ischemia in a 78-year-old woman with recurrent stage IIIC1 cervical cancer treated with pembrolizumab. Thirty-four days after initiating a pembrolizumab-containing regimen, she presented with vomiting, severe hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and strongly positive urine ketones.

Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

Ossian Health Economics and Communications GmbH, Bäumleingasse 20, Basel, 4051 Switzerland.
Objectives: This analysis quantifies the potential long-term clinical and cost benefits of early and intensive metabolic control (EIMC) versus conventional management in patients newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in Italy.
Methods: The PRIME T2D Model was used to project clinical and cost outcomes over long-term time horizons for a newly diagnosed cohort of patients receiving EIMC or conventional management. EIMC was associated with a mean glycated hemoglobin reduction of 0.
