Background: Neutrophil count is associated with atherosclerotic plaque formation and cardiovascular diseases (CVD). As previous studies have been predominantly conducted in Caucasians, the significance of neutrophil count as a clinical factor in CVD in other ethnicities remain unclear.
Methods: A total of 2,955 participants from the Chin-Shan Community Cardiovascular Study(CCCC), who had no established CVD diagnosis and missing data, were enrolled in this study and followed from 1990-1991-2013.

Diabetes Res Clin Pract
October 2022
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between different anti-diabetic medications and fracture risk in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- It analyzed data from 161 studies involving over 191,000 patients, finding that certain medications like DPP-4 inhibitors and SGLT-2 inhibitors are associated with a higher risk of fractures compared to GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP1-RA).
- GLP1-RA and sulfonylureas (SU) provide better protection against fractures compared to thiazolidinediones (TZD) and showed comparable effects to insulin in terms of fracture risk.
