Background: Diabetes is one of the concerns of today's public health and patients with type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of death due to cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in patients with over 10 years history of type 2 diabetes mellitus referred to the Sanandaj Diabetes Clinic.
Methods: In this study, 400 patients with type 2 diabetes who had over 10 years history of diabetes were selected and the required information was prepared based on taking their history and files. Finally data were analyzed using T-test, Chi-square and Fisher test methods.
Results: In this the mean duration of diabetes was 14.59 ± 4.07 years. 95.25% of patients had dyslipidemia. The frequency of history of cardiovascular events was 78.25%. 12.25% of patients had a history of ischemic heart disease and 82.75% had a history of high blood pressure. There was a significant relationship between the incidence of cardiovascular events with hypertension, HDL level and family history of early cardiovascular disease (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: The high risk of cardiovascular events in diabetic patients it strongly emphasizes the need for quick and serious approaches to prevent cardiovascular events in diabetic patients.

Precision in Liver Diagnosis: Varied Accuracy Across Subgroups and the Need for Variable Thresholds in Diagnosis of MASLD.
Liver Int

Department of Epidemiology and Data Science, Amsterdam University Medical Centres, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Background And Aims: The performance of non-invasive liver tests (NITs) is known to vary across settings and subgroups. We systematically evaluated whether the performance of three NITs in detecting advanced fibrosis in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) varies with age, sex, body mass index (BMI), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) status or liver enzymes.
Methods: Data from 586 adult LITMUS Metacohort participants with histologically characterised MASLD were included.
Cardio-renal effect of dapagliflozin and dapagliflozin- saxagliptin combination on CD34 + ve hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and podocyte specific markers in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) subjects: a randomized trial.

Introduction: Effects of Dapagliflozin (Dapa) and Dapagliflozin-Saxagliptin combination (Combo) was examined on peripheral blood derived CD34 + Hematopoetic Stem Cells (HSCs) as a cellular CVD biomarker. Both Dapa (a sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 or SGLT2, receptor inhibitor) and Saxagliptin (a Di-peptydl-peptidase-4 or DPP4 enzyme inhibitor) are commonly used type 2 diabetes mellitus or T2DM medications, however the benefit of using the combination has not been evaluated for cardio-renal risk assessment, in a real-life practice setting, compared to a placebo.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that Dapa will improve the outcomes when compared to placebo and the Combo maybe even more beneficial.

Background: Lifestyle choices, such as dietary patterns and sleep duration, significantly impact the health of the digestive system and may influence the risk of mortality from digestive system cancer.
Methods: This study aimed to examine the associations between sleep duration, dietary habits, and mortality from digestive system cancers. The analysis included 406,584 participants from the UK Biobank cohort (54.

Background: Endogenous sex hormones in postmenopausal women have been associated with risk of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the association between endogenous sex hormones and the revised Framingham Stroke Risk Profile (rFSRP) in postmenopausal women.
Methods: This is an observational cross-sectional study on the Vara-Skövde cohort, a Swedish population-based study for longitudinal surveillance of the development and progress of type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Triglyceride-glucose index in predicting the risk of new-onset diabetes in the general population aged 45 years and older: a national prospective cohort study.

Objective: Insulin resistance (IR) is often present in diabetes, which imposes a heavy burden on the prevention and treatment of diabetes. Triglyceride glucose index (TyG) is simple, reliable and reproducible in detecting IR, and has great advantages in predicting the risk of diabetes. The aim of this study was to analyze the potential association between TyG and the risk of diabetes in Chinese middle-aged and older adults using a prospective cohort study design.
