The role played by type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in the occurrence of recurrent tuberculosis is still uncertain. Military personnel are an occupational group with an increased risk for tuberculosis exposure due to their activities. We conducted a retrospective cohort to study the association between DM2 and recurrent TB in military workers who have been previously treated for tuberculosis at the Central Military Hospital in Lima, Peru, between 2016 and 2017. We evaluated the risk between DM2 and recurrent TB using Nelson-Aalen graphical analysis and Cox regression stratified by TB cured with hazard ratio (HR) calculation adjusted for confounders. We evaluated 220 workers with a mean age of 23.2 ± 7.8 years (96.8 % male). DM2 and recurrent TB frequency were 11.8 % and 5.0 %, respectively. Those with DM (36.5 %) presented a greater proportion of recurrent TB than those without DM2 (10.5 %). The cumulative risk for recurrent TB increases faster among workers with DM2 (p = 0.025, LR chi-squared test). Cox regression stratified by type of cured TB did not show an association between DM2 and recurrent TB (HR: 3.67; 95 %CI: 1.00-13.46). The cumulative risk for recurrent TB increases faster in patients with DM than in those without DM2. DM2 is not associated with the time of apparition of recurrent TB in military workers.

Background: Stage I nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is primarily treated with surgical resection and has a favorable prognosis with an expected recurrence rate of 30%. New methods to risk stratify patients with stage I NSCLC are needed to help select those that might benefit from more active surveillance or adjuvant therapy.
Methods: We analyzed clinical data from 1330 patients (1469 tumors) with NSCLC and correlated it with next-generation sequencing (NGS).

Objectives: We report the discovery and description of three human teeth from the Middle Paleolithic archaeological levels of Arbreda Cave (Serinyà, Catalonia, NE Iberian Peninsula).
Materials And Methods: The teeth, two molars (one right dm and one right M) from Level N (older than 120 kyr) and one P from Level J (dated between 71 and 44 kyr), were morphologically described based on microCT images and compared with Neanderthal and Homo sapiens specimens.
Results: The teeth belong to a minimum of three individuals: one adult and one infant from Level N and one juvenile from Level J.

Key Points: Post-AKI sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor use was associated with a reduced risk for progression of CKD and for recurrent AKI among veterans with diabetic kidney disease even after accounting for recovery from the index AKI. A minority of Veterans with diabetic kidney disease received a sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor after having had AKI during the study period.
Background: The effect of sodium–glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) on kidney function after AKI is unknown.

DM3c is diabetes (DM) of the exocrine pancreas that must be suspected whenever there is a history of chronic pancreatitis (CP), acute pancreatitis (AP) or recurrence (80% of cases) or new-onset DM in individuals from over 50 years of age without any other justification (negative autoimmunity tests, Glutamic Acid Decarboxylase antibodies). It is an entity misdiagnosed as type 2 diabetes (DM2) (90%) and therefore, if it is not suspected, it can go unnoticed. For its diagnosis, abdominal ultrasound, determination of the CA 19.
