Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of diabetes mellitus (DM) and risk of open-angle glaucoma (OAG).

Methods: This population-based historic cohort consisted of individuals at age ≥ 40 years with DM treatment initiated 2001-2010 and a reference population matched by age, gender and hospital district. Incidence of OAG was compared between individuals with DM and their matched non-diabetic reference pairs. New glaucoma cases were identified from medication reimbursement certificates and hospital billing records. Incidence rate ratios (IRR) were analysed with Poisson regression models adjusted for age, sex, hospital district, socioeconomic status, systemic medications and chronic diseases. We analysed the sensitivity of the results with adapted input variables and performed a competing events analysis.

Results: Of the 244 100 study subjects meeting inclusion criteria, 2721 (1.1%) developed OAG. Follow-up spanned from 2001 to 2017. DM was associated with a modestly reduced incidence of OAG when adjusted for confounding factors (IRR 0.92, CI 0.85-0.99).

Conclusions: In our longitudinal population-based study, we found a modest decrease in the risk of OAG for individuals with DM.

Background: Lifestyle interventions have been acknowledged as effective strategies for preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). However, the accessibility of conventional face-to-face interventions is often limited. Digital health intervention has been suggested as a potential solution to overcome the limitation.

Objective: to map the available evidence on the characteristics of care coordination between Primary Health Care and Specialized Outpatient Care for users with diabetes and hypertension.

Method: this is a scoping review with 40 articles as the final sample, evaluated by means of Content Analysis, of the thematic-categorical type, with the aid of a technological tool.

Results: care coordination was defined by means of eight categories: information and communication, integration of care, improvement and quality, care management, care sharing, fundamental attribute, health professionals and health service users, with the results of the articles concentrating mainly on four categories, with information and communication standing out, followed by the category of care management and the category of care sharing, in parallel with improvement and quality.

Tissue-specific endothelial cells (ECs) are critical for the homeostasis of pancreatic islets and most other tissues. In vitro recapitulation of islet biology and therapeutic islet transplantation both require adequate vascularization, which remains a challenge. Using human reprogrammed vascular ECs (R-VECs), human islets were functionally vascularized in vitro, demonstrating responsive, dynamic glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and Ca influx.

Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), also known as Müller duct inhibitory factor and primarily known for its role in sexual differentiation. In female fetuses, AMH production by granulosa cells begins around the 36th week of gestation and continues in women until menopause. It is becoming more significant in the endocrine and gynecological diagnosis of adult women.
