Twenty-one of 24 psychiatrists surveyed report that 51% (n=56) of their clinic patient panel entered their private care after they completed residency training. Patients with a DSM-III personality or depressive disorder were more likely than those with schizophrenia to continue in private treatment (p<.001). The practice of continued treatment of clinic patients beyond residency is reported to aid the professional development of the psychiatrist and the quality of patient care. Residency program directors may consider recommending this practice, if it is appropriate in their institution, to facilitate the psychiatrist's transition from training to career.

Objective: The objective of the study was to estimate the pleiotropic effect of teneligliptin on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels and some cardiorenal parameters in comparison to glimepiride, both as add-on therapy to metformin.

Methodology: This 12-week open-label, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial was conducted among Indian people with type 2 diabetes mellitus and on metformin monotherapy with poor glycemic control (glycated hemoglobin >7% or 53 mmol/mol). The endpoints were mean change in hs-CRP levels, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum creatinine, blood urea, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and change in cardiovascular (CV) risk categories from baseline to end of 12 weeks.
