Background: Diabetes is associated with genetic susceptibility, and family history is a risk factor. The study investigated the association between different family history risk levels and the prevalence of diabetes in a multi high-risk cohort and evaluated the impact of family history of diabetes on insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed data from 9754 adults who participated in the Shanghai High-Risk Diabetic Screen Project between 2002 and 2012. The association among three family history risk levels (mild, moderate, and high) with the prevalence of diabetes, insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity was evaluated in the multi high-risk cohort.
Results: Overall, 69.6%, 24.8%, and 5.6% of participants were categorized as having mild, moderate, and high familial risk, respectively. The standardized prevalence was higher in the high family history risk group (43.1%) than in the moderate group (37.3%) and in the mild group (23.5%) (P < 0.001). The odds ratios (ORs) were significantly increased in the moderate group (OR 1.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.15-1.40, P < 0.05) and in the high group (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.41-2.02, P < 0.05). Among the 3245 normal glucose tolerance participants, insulin secretion significantly declined with increasing levels of family history risk, but there were no significant differences in insulin sensitivity among the three groups.
Conclusion: The prevalence of diabetes was independently associated with an increasing family history risk level among multi high-risk Chinese populations. Subjects with moderate and high familial history of diabetes displayed a significant decrease in insulin secretion.

Climate change is having unprecedented impacts on human health, including increasing infectious disease risk. Despite this, health systems across the world are currently not prepared for novel disease scenarios anticipated with climate change. While the need for health systems to develop climate change adaptation strategies has been stressed in the past, there is no clear consensus on how this can be achieved, especially in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries that experience high disease burdens and climate change impacts simultaneously.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is a growing global health issue, especially in low- and middle-income countries like Ethiopia. To the best of our knowledge, the impact of diabetes knowledge on glycemic control in Ethiopia has not been documented. This study assessed diabetes knowledge and its relationship with glycemic control among Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients in Debre Berhan, Ethiopia.

Background: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a morbid complication of Type 1 diabetes mellitus(T1DM), and its occurrence at diagnosis has rarely been studied in Ethiopia, despite the many cases seen in the pediatric population.
Objective: The aim of this study was to know the prevalence of DKA among patients with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus and identify avoidable risk factors.
Method: This institution-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from December 1, 2018 to December1, 2022.

Importance: Retrograde cricopharyngeus dysfunction (R-CPD) is an emerging disorder associated with disabling symptoms. The origin of R-CPD remains unknown.
Objective: To investigate the development of symptoms, diagnosis approach, and therapeutic outcomes of R-CPD in patients treated with in-office botulinum toxin injection (BTI) into the cricopharyngeus.
Pathophysiology and diagnostic criteria of PCOS.
Minerva Obstet Gynecol

Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS, Rome, Italy.
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous endocrine-metabolic syndrome mainly characterized by ovarian dysfunction, which is only one manifestation of a more complex syndrome with a significant systemic impact.
Evidence Acquisition: We review scientific literature on the pathophysiology and diagnosis of PCOS evaluating the most relevant data from original articles, reviews and meta-analyses published until June 2024.
Evidence Synthesis: From a pathophysiological point of view, the concurrence of both metabolic aspects, such as insulin resistance and obesity, and hormonal alterations, such as hyperandrogenemia, might produce the most relevant clinical signs and/symptoms of this syndrome, for instance menstrual irregularities, hair loss, acne and hirsutism.
