AI Article Synopsis
- * Technosphere Insulin (TI) is an inhaled insulin powder approved by the FDA, showing effectiveness comparable to traditional insulin in clinical trials while generally being well-tolerated.
- * Despite its promise as a noninvasive option for those avoiding injections, TI raises long-term safety concerns regarding lung health, necessitating further research.
Article Abstract
Insulin is the most effective blood glucose lowering agent and remains one of the cornerstones of diabetes management. However, many individuals with diabetes are either reluctant to initiate or are nonadherent to their insulin therapy for various reasons, including fear of frequent injections. Technosphere Insulin (TI) is a novel inhaled insulin powder that is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration for the management of diabetes. The results from 2 phase III clinical trials have shown that TI was noninferior to subcutaneous insulin aspart and superior to inhaled placebo in lowering HbA1c in patients with diabetes mellitus types 1 and 2, respectively. Across both studies, TI appears to be generally well tolerated, with the most common adverse events being hypoglycemia and cough. However, long-term pulmonary safety concerns have not been addressed and additional studies are needed. Overall, TI appears to be a promising noninvasive prandial insulin alternative for individuals with diabetes who are at risk for medication nonadherence due to aversion to frequent injections. This article provides a review of the historical development of TI, its safety and efficacy data, and its advantages and disadvantages over traditional injectable insulins.

Detection of serum FOXM1 and IGF2 in patients with ARDS and their correlation with disease and prognosis.
Open Med (Wars)
December 2024
Department of Oncology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Gannan Medical University, No. 23, Qingnian Road, Zhanggong District, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, 341000, China.
Objective: To investigate the relationship between the expression levels of serum forkhead box protein M1(FOXM1) and insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) mRNA in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) condition and prognosis.
Methods: Ninety patients with ARDS admitted to our hospital were regarded as the ARDS group, according to the prognosis, they were grouped into death group ( = 64) and survival group ( = 126); the control group consisted of 190 healthy individuals.
Results: Compared with the control group, the level of serum FOXM1 mRNA in ARDS group was obviously lower, and the level of IGF2 mRNA was higher.
Objective: To evaluate a regimen of inhaled Technosphere insulin (TI) plus insulin degludec in adults with type 1 diabetes, who prestudy were predominately using either an automated insulin delivery (AID) system or multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) with continuous glucose monitoring.
Research Design And Methods: At 19 sites, adults with type 1 diabetes were randomly assigned to TI plus insulin degludec (N = 62) or usual care (UC) with continuation of prestudy insulin delivery method (N = 61) for 17 weeks.
Results: Prestudy, AID was used by 48% and MDI by 45%.
Article Synopsis
- Obesity significantly increases the risk of noncommunicable diseases and can shorten life expectancy by up to 20 years, primarily due to factors like disrupted energy balance, genetics, and lifestyle.
- Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), known as obesogens, affect lipid homeostasis by increasing adipocyte size and number, influencing appetite regulation, and altering insulin sensitivity across various organs.
- Although research on obesogens is growing, the exact mechanisms remain unclear, and more epidemiological studies are essential to better understand human exposure to these harmful substances.
Impairment of Glucose Uptake Induced by Elevated Intracellular Ca in Hippocampal Neurons of Malignant Hyperthermia-Susceptible Mice.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a genetic disorder triggered by depolarizing muscle relaxants or halogenated inhalational anesthetics in genetically predisposed individuals who have a chronic elevated intracellular Ca concentration ([Ca]) in their muscle cells. We have reported that the muscle dysregulation of [Ca] impairs glucose uptake, leading to the development of insulin resistance in two rodent experimental models. In this study, we simultaneously measured the [Ca] and glucose uptake in single enzymatically isolated hippocampal pyramidal neurons from wild-type (WT) and MH-R163C mice.

Air pollution, mostly from fossil fuel sources, is the leading environmental cause of global morbidity and mortality and is intricately linked to climate change. There is emerging evidence indicating that air pollution imposes most of its risk through proximate cardiovascular kidney and metabolic (CKM) etiologies. Indeed, there is compelling evidence linking air pollution to the genesis of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other risk factors.
