Aims: We investigated the feasibility and effects of using large language models (LLMs), particularly GPTs, to support the selection of anti-diabetic medications for T2DM management based on individual-level clinical information.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included adults diagnosed with T2DM who visited the Endocrine Department at Yongin Severance Hospital. ChatGPT 4.

Recent studies have suggested potential metabolic effects of anti-osteoporotic medications, but their impact on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) risk remains unclear. This study investigated the incidence of T2D in patients with osteoporosis treated with denosumab or alendronate. Using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service database, we identified 316,026 patients who received either denosumab or alendronate between October 2017 and June 2022.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in individuals with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) using data from the UK Biobank cohort.

Methods: A total of 201 563 participants were enrolled in this study. The HGS was measured using a Jamar J00105 hydraulic hand dynamometer.

Article Synopsis
  • Delayed administration of denosumab, a treatment for osteoporosis, increases fracture risk among women aged 45 to 89 years based on a nationwide study.
  • * The study found that fractures were significantly more common in participants who had delayed doses, especially those who delayed for 3 months or more.
  • * Emphasizing the importance of adhering to the prescribed dosing schedule is critical to reduce the risk of fractures in patients on denosumab.

Aims: We investigated the association between diabetes status at admission and in-hospital outcomes in all hospitalized patients, regardless of the reason for admission.

Methods: All individuals aged 20 years or older who were admitted to Yongin Severance Hospital between March 2020 and February 2022 were included in study. Subjects were categorized into three groups: non-DM, known DM, and newly diagnosed DM, based on medical history, anti-diabetic medications use, and laboratory test.

Osteoporosis and vertebral fractures (VFs) remain underdiagnosed. The addition of deep learning methods to lateral spine radiography (a simple, widely available, low-cost test) can potentially solve this problem. In this study, we develop deep learning scores to detect osteoporosis and VF based on lateral spine radiography and investigate whether their use can improve referral of high-risk individuals to bone-density testing.

While the number of individuals with prediabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing, only a few studies have reported differences in cardiovascular risk according to the presence or absence of MetS in individuals with prediabetes. Here, we examined differences in carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaques in individuals with prediabetes with or without MetS among subjects who visited a single center in Seoul (Huh Diabetes Center). A total of 328 participants aged ≥20 years, including the group with normoglycemia, were enrolled in the analysis, of which 273 had prediabetes.

Article Synopsis
  • Falls are a major issue for hospitalized patients, especially the elderly, and this study looked into how serum phosphate (s-phosphate) levels relate to fall risk.
  • The research involved over 15,000 patients aged 50 and older, and found that those with lower s-phosphate levels had a higher incidence of falls, regardless of whether their levels were considered normal.
  • The study concludes that lower s-phosphate levels on admission are linked to a greater risk of falls in hospitals, suggesting a need for further research to see if tracking these levels could help predict fall risks.
