Background: Continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) in pre-pubertal children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) has been introduced in Polish Diabetic Centres since 2000. Due to the lack of education and treatment standards for CSII we have initiated the National Prospective Pump Programme (OPPLP) in the 16 Diabetic Centres in Poland.
Aim: The aim of this programme was to prepare the paediatric diabetic centres for implementation of insulin pump treatment in children and assessment of the effectiveness of this treatment as compared to multiple daily injections.
Method: The Programme has been conducted in 16 centres in two stages - the first from 2003 to2005 - included the education of Health Care Providers (HCP), and the second clinical data collection of patients and evaluation of treatment effectiveness on the basis of estimation of HbA1c in the Central Laboratory. Electronic net-work system - enCapture with central server was used.
Results: The HCP' education as well as the data collection system were assessed positively.
Conclusion: The OPPLP can be the basis of a National Register of children with T1DM. The Register could be used also for cost effectiveness assessment of the patients with T1DM treatment.

Background: Nirmatrelvir with ritonavir (Paxlovid) is indicated for patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) who are at risk for progression to severe disease due to the presence of one or more risk factors. Millions of treatment courses have been prescribed in the United States alone. Paxlovid was highly effective at preventing hospitalization and death in clinical trials.

Objective: Managing blood glucose levels is challenging for elite athletes with type 1 diabetes (T1D) as competition can cause unpredictable fluctuations. While fear of hypoglycemia during physical activity is well documented, research on hyperglycemia-related anxiety (HRA) is limited. HRA refers to the heightened fear that hyperglycemia-related symptoms will impair functioning.

To determine the basis for perinatal nutritional mismatch causing metabolic dysfunction associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and diabetes mellitus, we examined adult phenotype, hepatic transcriptome, and pancreatic β-islet function. In prenatal caloric restricted rat with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and postnatal exposure to high fat with fructose (HFhf) or high carbohydrate (RC), we investigated male and female IUGR-Hfhf and IUGR-RC, versus HFhf and CON offspring. Males more than females displayed adiposity, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, hepatomegaly with hepatic steatosis.

Objective: We derive and validate D-RISK, an electronic health record (EHR)-driven risk score to optimize and facilitate screening for undiagnosed dysglycemia (prediabetes + diabetes) in clinical practice.
Research Design And Methods: We used retrospective EHR data (derivation sample) and a prospective diabetes screening study (validation sample) to develop D-RISK. Logistic regression with backward selection was used to predict dysglycemia (HbA1c ≥5.

Background: Right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) is common in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, and it is associated with poor prognosis. However, no biomarker reflecting RVD is available for routine clinical use.
Methods: Proteomic analysis of myocardium from the left ventricle and right ventricle (RV) of patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction with (n=10) and without RVD (n=10) who underwent heart transplantation was performed.
