Background: Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2(SGLT-2) inhibitors are a newer class of antidiabetic drugs with the increased risk of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis(EuDKA). Encephalopathy is a rare but life-threatening event of EuDKA. Due to paradoxically normal or slightly elevated serum glucose levels, it's easy to be mimicked by cerebral infarction, structural brain damage, thus leading to delayed diagnosis and causing seriously irreversible brain injury.

Aims: Hyperglycaemic conditions increase cardiac stress, a common phenomenon associated with inflammation, aging, and metabolic imbalance. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, a class of anti-diabetic drugs, showed to improve cardiovascular functions although their mechanism of action has not yet been fully established. This study investigated the effects of empagliflozin on cardiomyocytes following high glucose exposure, specifically focusing on inflammatory and metabolic responses.

IgAN is the most common primary glomerulonephritis and results from an autoimmune reaction to aberrantly glycosylated immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies. Although historically considered largely benign, it is now recognized that a significant percentage of patients develop dialysis-dependent kidney disease over the years.

Background: We still know little about the effective pharmacological treatment of heart failure (HF) associated with the Fontan circulation. One of the new options may be sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i), which have been proven effective in classic forms of left ventricular HF.
Objectives: To evaluate the effect and safety of SGLT2i inclusion in adults with Fontan circulation.

Aims: Insulin therapy is a cornerstone in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) management, but its use is associated with several barriers, including hypoglycaemia, fear of injections and high costs. We compared the risk of insulin initiation and other treatment intensification between patients with T2DM newly treated with a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) versus those newly treated with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP4i).
Materials And Methods: This Japanese retrospective cohort study was conducted between 1 January 2015 and 31 March 2023 using the JMDC Claims Database.
