AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often diabetic patients experience a rapid decline in kidney function in a hospital setting and identify related factors.
- A total of 80 patients were analyzed over one year, with findings showing that 35% had a rapid decline, primarily linked to a very high cardiovascular risk and glomerular filtration rate.
- The results highlighted a significant prevalence of high cardiovascular risk (82.5%) and renal risk (25%) among these patients, emphasizing the need for close monitoring and risk evaluation.
Article Abstract
Objective: To determine the hospital frequency of diabetic patients with a rapid decline in their renal function, to look for the associated factors.
Method: Descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study carried out over 12 months (May 1, 2019 to April 31, 2020). Were included all patients aged 18 and over, having achieved at least 3 creatinine during the previous 2 years but spaced at least 6 months apart and having an eGFR calculated from their last creatinine greater than 30 mL/min by the formula of CDK-EPI. We evaluated the eGFR by the CDK-EPI formula using the calculator developed by the Poitiers University Hospital and the Inserm unit of the Francophone Diabetes Society.
Results: A total of 80 patients medical files were retained. The rapid decline in renal function was found in 28 patients, either a frequency of 35%. The sex ratio M/F was 1.5. The mean age was 62.93 years (range 18-85 years). Hypertension was the most common comorbidity (92.5%). The very high cardiovascular risk was predominant in 82.5% of cases. The very high renal risk was found in 20 patients, either 25%. Univariate and multivariate analysis showed that the rapid decline in renal function was associated with very high cardiovascular risk (P=0.037) and glomerular filtration rate (P˂0.001).
Conclusion: this study showed a high hospital frequency of the rapid decline in renal function in Togo (35%). Our results have identified the very high cardiovascular risk and glomerular filtration rate as risk factors. The originality of our study was the demonstration of the high proportion of very high cardiovascular risk (82.5%) and very high renal risk (25%) in the evaluation of renal and cardiovascular risk.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the "obesity paradox," focusing on overweight and obese patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease.
- Over a follow-up period averaging about 65 months, results showed that 17.4% of patients experienced adverse cardiovascular events, with a notable J-shaped relationship indicating that those classified as overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m) had lower risks of total and major cardiovascular events.
- The findings suggest that overweight individuals may have better cardiovascular outcomes post-PCI compared to those with a normal BMI.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risks of stroke and mortality. It remains unclear whether rhythm control reduces the risk of stroke in patients with AF concomitant with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).
Methods: We identified AF patients with HCM who were ≥ 18 years old in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database.

Inefficient control of elevated blood sugar levels can lead to certain health complications such as diabetic nephropathy (DN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The identification of effective biomarkers for monitoring diabetes was performed in the present study. The present study aimed to investigate the implications of long non-coding RNA megacluster (lnc-MGC), microRNA (miR)-132 and miR-133a, and their correlation with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, induced DN and CVD.

Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) are rare neuroendocrine tumors with an annual incidence of ~2 cases per million worldwide. The hereditary form is more likely to present in younger patients. To date, PPGL is considered a complex pathology that is difficult to diagnose.

Background: Poor nutritional status may affect outcomes after coronary revascularization, but the association between nutritional status and outcomes in patients undergoing coronary revascularization has not been fully evaluated. This study was based on the MIMIC-IV database to analyze the impact of baseline nutritional status on poor outcomes in patients with coronary revascularization.
Methods: Patients with coronary revascularization were screened from the MIMIC-IV database.
