Purpose Of Review: Given the challenges achieving recommended glycemic targets in youth with type 1 diabetes (T1D), providers may consider recommending carbohydrate-restricted diets (CRDs) to optimize glycemic control. The goal of the present review is to describe relevant literature on the potential medical and psychosocial benefits and risks of CRDs in youth with T1D.
Recent Findings: Limited data exist on the effects of CRDs in pediatric populations. Findings from studies with youth and adults are mixed; some indicate that CRDs may be associated with desirable medical outcomes, such as improved glycemic control and reduced HbA1c, which may contribute to positive psychological outcomes such as reduced diabetes distress and depressive symptoms. Others suggest that CRDs may also be associated with detrimental outcomes, including mineral deficiencies and suboptimal growth, and dietary restriction has been linked to greater diabetes distress, disordered eating, and diabetes management. More research is needed to evaluate benefits and risks of CRDs in youth. Providers should exercise caution when discussing CRDs with youth and families, particularly when considering CRDs for youth at elevated risk for eating disordered behavior.

Potential, Pitfalls, and Future Directions for Remote Monitoring of Chronic Respiratory Diseases: Multicenter Mixed Methods Study in Routine Cystic Fibrosis Care.
J Med Internet Res
August 2024
Department of Pediatric Pulmonology, Amalia Children's Hospital, Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Background: The current literature inadequately addresses the extent to which remote monitoring should be integrated into care models for chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs).
Objective: This study examined a remote monitoring program (RMP) in cystic fibrosis (CF) by exploring experiences, future perspectives, and use behavior over 3 years, with the aim of developing future directions for remote monitoring in CRDs.
Methods: This was a mixed methods, multicenter, observational study in 5 Dutch CF centers following a sequential explanatory design.
A Clinical Diagnostic Test for Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome.
JAMA
July 2024
Section of Cardiac Electrophysiology, Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Hamilton Health Sciences and McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- - The text discusses Calcium Release Deficiency Syndrome (CRDS), a serious genetic heart condition that can cause sudden cardiac arrest without clear reasons and is not detectable through standard tests.
- - The study aimed to analyze electrocardiogram (ECG) responses after brief periods of fast heart rates followed by pauses in order to develop a diagnostic test for CRDS.
- - Findings showed that patients with CRDS had a significantly greater change in T-wave amplitude on their ECG after a pause compared to control groups, indicating a potential diagnostic marker for this syndrome.
Incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of acute liver injury in hospitalized adults with acute kidney injury: a large multicenter study.
Hepatol Int

Division of Nephrology, National Clinical Research Center for Kidney Disease, State Key Laboratory of Organ Failure Research, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored the incidence and outcomes of patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) combined with acute liver injury (ALI), finding that 9.1% of AKI patients also had ALI.
- Risk factors for developing AKI-ALI included being male, using certain medications (like NSAIDs and vasopressors), having heart failure or shock, and higher liver enzyme levels.
- Patients with AKI-ALI experienced a significantly higher risk of in-hospital mortality compared to those with AKI alone, emphasizing the need for close monitoring of liver function in these cases to improve patient outcomes.
Greenness and chronic respiratory health issues: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Front Public Health
December 2023
School of Landscape Architecture and Forestry, Qingdao Agricultural University, Qingdao, China.
Introduction: The number of chronic respiratory disease (CRD) individuals worldwide has been continuously increasing. Numerous studies have shown that greenness can improve chronic respiratory health issues through different mechanisms, with inconsistent evidence. By quantitatively summarizing existing studies, our purpose is to determine the connection between greenness exposure and various chronic respiratory health.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the safety of the currently recommended target of LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) control on mortality in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
Methods And Results: Using deidentified electronic health record data, we conducted a multicentre retrospective cohort study involving individuals with documented ASCVD who had received statin treatment for at least 3 months across China. The primary outcomes assessed encompassed all-cause mortality, CV mortality, and non-CV mortality.
