The JDCP study is a large-scale, prospective observational study designed to elucidate risk factors for diabetic complications as they become manifest in Japanese type 1 and 2 diabetic patients in the course of their observation and follow-up. Of the 6338 patients enrolled in the study, all patients with type 1 diabetes ( = 394) were examined for baseline clinical characteristics, which were summarized as follows: men, = 174 (44 %); mean age (men/women), 55.3/56.8 years; duration of diabetes, 11.9/11.1 years; and those with a family history of diabetes, 27.7 %/35.6 %; BMI, 22.4/21.8 kg/m ( = 0.048); HbA1c, 7.9/7.7 %; those with HbA1c < 7 %, 23.1/26.9 %; SBP, 126.0/124.9 mmHg; and LDL-C, 106.1/107.7 mg/dL. Additionally, the insulin dose per patient was shown to be 33.0 U or 0.58 U/kg body weight with self-monitoring of blood glucose being used in 95.8 % of the patients.

Objectives: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an acute complication in patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus that could progress to fatal outcomes if not identified and treated promptly. DKA poses a substantial impact on healthcare systems. In this study, we aim to identify the predictors of prolonged hospital length of stay (LOS) and mortality in patients admitted with DKA.

Background: Older adults and Hispanic individuals are increasingly turning to social media platforms to access health-related information. The purpose of this project was to evaluate a social media campaign to disseminate information from decision aids (DAs) on hip and knee osteoarthritis to Spanish-speaking adults.
Methods: A social media marketing team helped create an 8-mo campaign posted across 3 social media platforms to promote visits to a Web site offering free multilingual DAs for treatment of hip or knee osteoarthritis.
Introduction The pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) is a specialized area for treating critically ill infants and children. However, some of these children may experience poor outcomes, including death. However, it is necessary to predict the prognosis for critically ill patients as early as possible to commence triage as well as an early and effective intervention to prevent mortality.

Metyrapone is commonly used in the initial management of Cushing's syndrome to reduce hypercortisolemia, but its optimal dosage and timing can vary significantly between patients. Currently, there are limited guidelines on adjustment methods for its administration to individual needs. This study aimed to evaluate responsiveness of each patient to metyrapone and identify the patient characteristics associated with the indices of cortisol responsiveness following a low-dose metyrapone.

Background: The diagnosis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a crucial and challenging entity in bone marrow transplantation candidates. We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the Sino-Nasal Outcome Test (SNOT-22) and Lund-Kennedy endoscopic score for the diagnosis of CRS in bone marrow transplantation candidates.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a single-center, observational study evaluating bone marrow transplantation candidates by paranasal sinus computed tomography (CT) scan without contrast to measure the Lund Mackay score.
