Type 1 diabetes affects >1 million people in the United States, where it accounts for up to 10% of all diabetes cases. Glycemic control via the use of exogenous insulin injections in diabetic patients is incomplete, resulting in multiple long-term complications such as retinopathy, neuropathy, vasculopathy, and nephropathy. The goal of beta-cell replacement by whole-pancreas or islet transplantation is to achieve long-term insulin independence, and the proposed benefits are improved quality of life, prevention of recurrent diabetic nephropathy, stabilization or improvement in secondary complications, and improved mortality. No other regimen of insulin delivery can achieve this level of physiologic regulation.

Advances in fundus imaging are revealing disruptions in the neurovascular unit in diabetic retinopathy (DR). In the era of anti-VEGF treatment, a thorough characterization of neurodegeneration is imperative until DR patients are sufficiently cured. Here we demonstrate that extracellular mitochondria exacerbate retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) degeneration and inflammation in DR.

Background: The objectives were to determine the prevalence of de novo and persistent pelvic pain after benign hysterectomy and to assess risk factors.
Methods: A Swedish prospective multicenter study of 440 women undergoing benign hysterectomy was conducted between October 2011 and March 2017. Measures of pain, the spatial extent of bodily pain, and pain sensitivity were assessed using a self-reporting questionnaire, Margolis's patient pain drawing, and quantitative sensory testing of pain thresholds for pressure, heat, and cold, respectively.
Is Completeness and Timeliness of Public Health Action (PHA) a Robust Tool to Improve the TB Treatment Outcome in the Private Sector?
Indian J Community Med
October 2024
Department of Pharmacology, GMERS Medical College, Dharpur, Patan, Gujarat, India.
Background: Public health action (PHA) in tuberculosis (TB) includes six components: doing screening for HIV/diabetes, carrying out drug susceptibility testing, counseling on tobacco, counseling on nutrition, benefits of Nikshay Poshan Yojana, and contact tracing. All the patients notified by the private practitioners (PPs) and missing any of the above components are intervened by the government staff to cover all the above components.
Objectives: The aim of the article is (1) to assess the timeliness and completeness of PHA and (2) to assess the impact of PHA on the quality of care for TB patients in the private sector.
