Type 1 diabetes is based on apoptosis, which leads to b-cell death. Factors triggering apoptosis processes are very diverse and currently not fully explained. The main role is attributed to genetic and environmental factors. Genetic studies have shown that the inherited propensity for type 1 diabetes is multi-genetic. Environmental factors modify the response to their own antigens, but are probably not necessary to start the autoaggression process. The effect of b-cell destruction is confirmed by the appearance of autoantibodies in the blood. The paper presents a review of the available literature regarding the self-destruction of pancreatic b-cells. The aim of the study was to draw attention to the extremely complicated and still unknown etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes by reviewing current literature related to the above topic. The goal is to acquire the knowledge necessary to develop and implement causal treatment for diabetes. At the moment, unfortunately, we do not have safe, innovative therapy methods in the field of diabetes prevention. Intensive research on the etiopathogenesis of type 1 diabetes is an extremely important field of medical research.

Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is a dynamic tissue that affects vascular function and cardiovascular health. The connection between PVAT, the immune system, obesity, and vascular disease is complex and plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, and vascular inflammation. In cardiometabolic diseases, PVAT becomes a significant source of proflammatory adipokines, leading to increased infiltration of immune cells, in cardiometabolic diseases, PVAT becomes a significant source of proinflammatory adipokines, leading to increased infiltration of immune cells, promoting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migrationpromoting vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration.

Background: Experimental and clinical studies have suggested that symbiotics might effectively manage type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) by modulating the intestinal microbiota. However, these studies' limited sources, small sample sizes, and varied study designs have led to inconsistent outcomes regarding glycaemic control. This study aimed to investigate the effects of symbiotics on the anthropometric measures, glycaemic control, and lipid profiles of patients with T2DM.

Background: Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in population and public health to support epidemiological studies, surveillance, and evaluation. Our objective was to conduct a scoping review to identify studies that use ML in population health, with a focus on its use in non-communicable diseases (NCDs). We also examine potential algorithmic biases in model design, training, and implementation, as well as efforts to mitigate these biases.

Introduction: The transition of adolescents from pediatric to adult hospitals is a planned and guided process that involves changes in the focus, style, and location of care. During this period, complications are common in those with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The objective of this study was to understand the influence of a nurse-led structured therapeutic education program on maintaining glycemic control and emotional wellbeing in these adolescents.
