Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial Fibrillation (AF) are among the most common health issues. They are responsible for the highest rates of morbidity and mortality. The importance of sodium glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is) in treating DM has increased significantly in recent years.

In homeostasis, which plays an important role in the proper functioning and maintenance of the internal functioning of the body, kidneys play a key role in being responsible for the proper homeostasis of glucose. Among glucose transporters, sodium-dependent glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) have a major role in the kidney's ability to reabsorb glucose. Although the localization of these transporters has been extensively studied in mammals, there are still gaps in knowledge of the localization of SGLTs in birds of different age groups.

Background: Use of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2 inhibitors) falls short of their cardiorenal protective benefits. Patient and provider-level barriers hinder the adoption of these life-saving medications. Innovative practices to provide primary care providers (PCP) with added clinical-decision support via a dedicated remote interdisciplinary diabetes rounds (IDR) team could promote SGLT-2 inhibitor selection.

Background: Acute Heart Failure (AHF) presents as a serious pathophysiological disease with significant morbidity and mortality rates, requiring immediate medical intervention. Traditional treatment involves diuretics and vasodilators, but a subset of patients develop resistance due to acute cardiorenal syndrome. Dapagliflozin, categorized as a sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i), has emerged as a promising therapy for AHF, demonstrating substantial benefits in reducing both mortality and morbidity among patients.
