We conducted a literature search to determine the prognostic effect of diabetes in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. We also searched for evidence on diagnosis and treatment of diabetes in these patients. Insulin resistance occurs in obese patients with cirrhosis due to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, but also develops in patients with alcoholic or viral cirrhosis. Eventually, 20-40% of patients with cirrhosis have manifest diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus may accelerate progression of liver fibrosis to cirrhosis and may lead to higher mortality rates among cirrhosis patients, largely due to infections and liver failure. Treatment of diabetes in patients with chronic liver disease can theoretically improve survival. In treating such patients, doctors should take into account the reduced clearance of insulin and oral antidiabetic agents in the liver.

Comparative Effectiveness of Individual Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors.
JAMA Intern Med
January 2025
Division of Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics, Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts.
Importance: Evidence on cardiovascular benefits and safety of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors is mainly from placebo-controlled trials. Therefore, the comparative effectiveness and safety of individual SGLT-2 inhibitors remain unknown.
Objective: To compare the use of canagliflozin or dapagliflozin with empagliflozin for a composite outcome (myocardial infarction [MI] or stroke), heart failure hospitalization, MI, stroke, all-cause death, and safety outcomes, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), lower-limb amputation, bone fracture, severe urinary tract infection (UTI), and genital infection and whether effects differed by dosage or cardiovascular disease (CVD) history.
Cut-Off Values Able to Identify Migraine Patients With Increased Pressure-Pain Sensitivity Independent of the Migraine Cycle Through a Single Assessment: A Secondary Analysis of a Multicentre, Cross-Sectional, Observational Study.
Eur J Pain
February 2025
Department of Health Science and Technology, Center for Pain and Neuroplasticity (CNAP), SMI, School of Medicine, Aalborg University, Aalborg, Denmark.
Aim: Identify values that could predict the presence of increased pressure-pain sensitivity independent of the migraine cycle through a single assessment.
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of a previous study in which 198 episodic and chronic migraine patients were assessed during all phases of the migraine cycle. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) was assessed over the temporalis, cervical spine, hand, and leg.
[Diabetes mellitus and obesity: risk optimization before surgical interventions].
Orthopadie (Heidelb)
January 2025
Westdeutsches Diabetes- und Gesundheitszentrum, Verbund Katholischer Kliniken Düsseldorf, Hohensandweg 37, 40591, Düsseldorf, Deutschland.
Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly in recent years and is a causal risk factor for the development of type 2 diabetes. Moreover, chronic degenerative joint diseases are also triggered by obesity.
Weight Loss: Both obesity-related secondary diseases-type 2 diabetes and chronic degenerative joint disease-can be prevented or at least delayed by lifestyle intervention aimed at weight reduction.
Tailoring Exercise Prescription for Effective Diabetes Glucose Management.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Kinesiology and Health, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, USA.
Context: Physical activity, exercise, or both are a staple of lifestyle management approaches both for type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). While the current literature supports both physical activity and exercise for improving glycemic control, reducing cardiovascular risk, maintaining proper weight, and enhancing overall well-being, the optimal prescription regimen remains debated.
Evidence Acquisition: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar databases for relevant studies on exercise, insulin sensitivity, and glycemic control in people with T1DM and T2DM.
Risk Factors for Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

January 2025
Tianxiang Jiang, BS, RN, Intensive care unit, Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University, Linhai, Zhejiang Province, China, School of Nursing, Dalian University, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, China.
Purpose: A meta-analysis was conducted to comprehensively identify risk factors of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) in adults and provide evidence-based support for healthcare professionals to formulate IAD preventive interventions and bundled interventions.
Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis of pooled findings.
Search Strategy: Two researchers independently searched databases PubMed, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Embase, Medline, Web of Science and Scopus and 4 Chinese databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP and CBM) for relevant studies published from their inception to March 15, 2023.
