Diabetes mellitus presents high prevalence, severe complications, clinical repercussions, costs and occupational implications. Their assessment requires the use of the medical history and support questionnaires. A literature review was conducted on the topic of clinical and occupational evaluation aspects of diabetes; the database searched was Medline. The search showed numerous papers about diabetes clinical and therapeutic aspects as well as social or public health aspects but the results lacked occupational aspects. To assess the disease, the use of questionnaires is generalized and each author selects those which fit best to their purpose. It is concluded that to carry out a clinical and occupational evaluation related to diabetes, an inter-specialities cooperation, based on a complete medical history including occupational risk factors, is recommended. The questionnaires are useful, adapted to the objective, recommending those valued in Spanish as in Fear of hypoglycemia questionnaire (EsHFS) and Diabetes-related quality of life questionnaire (EsDQOL).

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but its effective prevention and treatment are still limited. We investigated the effects of GYY4137, a slow-releasing hydrogen sulfide donor, and its downstream mediator forkhead box protein O1 (FOXO1) on T2DM-associated DCM. , T2DM mice were induced by a high-fat diet coupled with streptozotocin injection.

Inefficient control of elevated blood sugar levels can lead to certain health complications such as diabetic nephropathy (DN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The identification of effective biomarkers for monitoring diabetes was performed in the present study. The present study aimed to investigate the implications of long non-coding RNA megacluster (lnc-MGC), microRNA (miR)-132 and miR-133a, and their correlation with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, induced DN and CVD.

Aim: To perform a comparative analysis of the clinical data of patients with and without recurrent pyogenic liver abscess and explore the influencing factors, clinical characteristics, and pathogenic bacteria associated with the recurrence of liver abscesses.
Patients And Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 436 recently diagnosed patients with pyogenic liver abscess admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Chengde Medical College between June 2017 and June 2023. Patients with recurrence comprised the observation group, whereas those without recurrence comprised the control group.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have produced substantial weight loss effects in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) cohorts, but these effects have not been thoroughly studied in patients with obesity and without diabetes. This review aimed to analyze direct comparative studies for semaglutide versus other GLP-1 RA (liraglutide and efinopegdutide) in facilitating weight loss and evaluating adverse events in patients with obesity. A systematic search following the guidelines established by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) was performed in PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library for direct comparative studies comparing semaglutide with other GLP-1 RA on weight loss in patients with obesity.
