Introduction: Glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) is currently the gold standard for assessing glycaemic control in diabetes, given the established relationship with microvascular and macrovascular complications in this condition. However, HbA1c is affected by non-glycaemic factors, while also failing to provide data on hypoglycaemic exposure and glucose variability, which are associated with adverse vascular outcomes. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM)-derived glucose metrics provide a more comprehensive assessment of glycaemia, but their role in predicting future vascular complications remains unclear.

Background: e-Consultations, defined as asynchronous text-based messaging, have transformed how patients interact with their general practitioner (GP). While e-consultations can improve patient access to GP care, concerns about increased workload for GPs are raised.
Objective: This study aimed to address three research questions: (1) For what purpose and with what expectations do patients initiate e-consultations? (2) If e-consultations had not been available, what alternative actions would the patient have taken? and (3) How are the alternative actions associated with patient and e-consultation characteristics?
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted through a web-based survey on Helsenorge.

Background: The use of multiagent FOLFIRINOX chemotherapy for pancreatic adenocarcinoma in a neoadjuvant setting has been associated with an increased rate of complete pathological response (CPR) after surgery. This study investigated the long-term outcomes of patients with CPR in a multicenter setting to identify prognostic factors for overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS).
Methods: This retrospective cohort study examined biopsy-proven pancreatic adenocarcinomas with CPR after neoadjuvant chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy and surgery, between January 2006 and December 2023 across 22 French and 2 Belgian centers.

Importance: Amid escalating mental health challenges among young individuals, intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic, analyzing postpandemic trends is critical.
Objective: To examine mental health care utilization and prescription rates for children, adolescents, and young adults before and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This population-based time trend study used an interrupted time series analysis to examine mental health care and prescription patterns among the French population 25 years and younger.

Purpose: This is the first study to quantify the 2-year freedom from recurrence for individuals with nonmelanoma skin cancer (NMSC) such as basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and squamous carcinoma in situ (SCCIS) treated with image guided superficial radiation therapy (IGSRT) versus SRT without image guidance.
Methods And Materials: This retrospective cohort study evaluates the 2-year freedom recurrence rate of NMSCs treated by IGSRT (March 2016 to January 2022) and compares it to existing data on NMSCs treated by SRT via 1 sample proportion tests. Individuals >18 years old with biopsy-proven SCC, SCCIS, and/or BCC treated with IGSRT were included in the study, and 1602 patients/2880 treated lesions were followed until January 14, 2022.
