Patients with diabetes have a higher risk of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), cerebral embolisms and anticoagulant-related intracranial bleeding when compared to nondiabetic patients. Non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are progressively replacing antivitamin K agents among patients with NVAF. They are as efficacious as warfarin to reduce the risk of cerebral and systemic embolisms while reducing the risk of both severe and cerebral hemorrhages. Four studies reported results of prespecified subanalyses that compared results of efficacy and safety of NOACs (dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, edoxaban) in patients with and without diabetes, overall with similar results in both subgroups. ENGAGE AF-TIMI 48 is the only trial that reported a significant reduction of severe hemorrhages with edoxaban compared with warfarin in diabetic patients with NVAF.

Background: Many tools have been developed to predict the risk of diabetes in a population without diabetes; however, these tools have shortcomings that include the omission of race, inclusion of variables that are not readily available to patients, and low sensitivity or specificity.

Objective: We aimed to develop and validate an easy, systematic index for predicting diabetes risk in the Asian population.

Methods: We collected the data from the NAGALA (NAfld [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease] in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) database.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and many humanitarian crises occur in countries with high NCD burdens. Peer support is a promising approach to improve NCD care in these settings. However, evidence on peer support for people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings is limited.

For patients considering bariatric surgery, it is essential to have clear answers to common questions to ensure the success of the procedure. Patients should understand that surgery is not a quick fix but a tool that must be complemented by lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments and regular physical activity. The procedure carries potential risks that should be weighed against the potential benefits.

Background: The kidney reabsorption is essential for maintaining magnesium homeostasis. This study aims to explore the relationship between kidney reabsorption-related magnesium depletion score (MDS) and the occurrence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and prognosis in diabetic disease kidney (DKD) patients.

Methods: We included 3199 DKD patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database, including 1072 CVD patients.
