Aims: To assess outcomes of oral anti-hyperglycaemic therapies in people with diabetes secondary to a pancreatic condition (type 3c), where specific treatment guidance is limited.
Materials And Methods: Using hospital-linked UK primary care records (Clinical Practice Research Datalink; 2004-2020), we identified 7084 people with a pancreatic condition (acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer and haemochromatosis) preceding diabetes diagnosis (type 3c cohort), initiating oral glucose-lowering therapy (metformin, sulphonylureas, SGLT2-inhibitors, DPP4-inhibitors or thiazolidinediones), and without concurrent insulin treatment. We stratified by pancreatic exocrine insufficiency [PEI] (n = 5917 without PEI, 1167 with PEI) and matched to 97 227 type 2 diabetes (T2D) controls.

Importance: Hemochromatosis is rare in domestic animals, and iron-induced myopathy has not been reported in veterinary medicine. This case is the first report of iron-overload myopathy owing to hemochromatosis in a dog.
Case Presentation: A 9-year-old spayed female Donggyeong dog presented with severe forelimb lameness.

Thalassemia and hemochromatosis are two distinct conditions that involve dysregulation of iron metabolism, though their origin, clinical presentations, and treatments differ. This case represents a patient with incidentally discovered microcytic anemia due to β-thalassemia trait and non- hemochromatosis. It discusses the potential synergistic effect of these two diseases on iron overload and highlights the need for further testing to determine hereditary versus secondary causes of hemochromatosis.

Background: Haemochromatosis is a pathological condition characterized by the accumulation of iron in parenchymal organs, leading to toxic damage and dysfunction. Cardiac haemochromatosis represents one of the rare causes of severe heart failure (HF) that can be potentially prevented with targeted treatment.
Case Summary: We present the case of a 41-year-old female who was hospitalized for decompensated HF.

Purpose: To explore the prevalence of hypoparathyroidism (HPT), overt and subclinical, in a cohort of adults with Iron Overload Diseases (IOD). Secondary aim was to test the calcium (Ca)-to-phosphorus (P) ratio performance in identifying HPT.
Methods: Single-center, prospective, case-control study.
