Unlabelled: The prevalence of diabetes is increasing significantly and, therefore, dental practitioners are having to manage diabetic patients on a more regular basis. Alongside the systemic effects on the various tissues and organs of the body, diabetes can adversely affect oral health and all clinicians should be aware of the issues that may arise.
Clinical Relevance: Dental practitioners are almost guaranteed to encounter both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetic patients. It is therefore important that they are aware of the oral signs and symptoms of disease and the reciprocal relationship between oral health and glycaemic control, so that diabetic patients are managed accordingly.

Inflammation and Occlusive Retinal Vasculitis Post Faricimab.
JAMA Ophthalmol
January 2025
Truhlsen Eye Center, Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha.
Importance: Randomized clinical trials have shown the safety and efficacy of faricimab as a novel vascular endothelial growth factor and angiopoietin-2 inhibitor in the treatment of neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD) and macular edema of various etiologies. However, more rare adverse events may not be considered in clinical trials.
Objective: To describe 3 eyes that developed irreversible vision loss following initial mild intraocular inflammation (IOI) to faricimab.
Child Maltreatment Characteristics and Adult Physical Multimorbidity in Germany.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry-Psychotherapy, University Hospital Ulm, Ulm, Germany.
Importance: Associations between child maltreatment (CM) and health have been studied broadly, but most studies focus on multiplicity (number of experienced subtypes of CM). Studies assessing multiple CM characteristics are scarce, partly due to methodological challenges, and were mostly conducted in patient samples.
Objective: To determine the importance of CM characteristics in association with physical multimorbidity in adulthood for women and men in a German representative sample.
Medicare Risk Arrangement and Use and Outcomes Among Physician Groups.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
America's Physician Groups, Washington, DC.
Importance: Many physician groups are in 2-sided risk payment arrangements with Medicare Advantage plans (at-risk MA). Analysis of quality and health resource use under such arrangements may inform ongoing Medicare policy concerning payment and service delivery.
Objective: To compare quality and efficiency measures under 2 payment models: at-risk MA and fee-for-service (FFS) MA.
GLP-1RA Use and Thyroid Cancer Risk.
JAMA Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2025
OptumLabs, Eden Prairie, Minnesota.
Importance: The increasing use of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) demands a better understanding of their association with thyroid cancer.
Objective: To estimate the risk of incident thyroid cancer among adults with type 2 diabetes being treated with GLP-1RA vs other common glucose-lowering medications.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a prespecified secondary analysis of a target trial emulation of a comparative effectiveness study using claims data for enrollees in commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicare fee-for-service plans across the US.
Pharmacist-led deprescribing of cardiovascular and diabetes medication within a clinical medication review: the LeMON study (Less Medicines in Older Patients in the Netherlands), a cluster randomized controlled trial.
Int J Clin Pharm
January 2025
Department of Clinical Pharmacology and Pharmacy, Amsterdam University Medical Centers, Location VUMC, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background: Deprescribing inappropriate cardiovascular and antidiabetic medication has been shown to be feasible and safe. Healthcare providers often perceive the deprescribing of cardiovascular and antidiabetic medication as a challenge and therefore it is still not widely implemented in daily practice.
Aim: The aim was to assess whether training focused on conducting a deprescribing-oriented clinical medication review (CMR) results in a reduction of the inappropriate use of cardiovascular and antidiabetic medicines.
