Introduction: Despite the increasing number of studies using machine learning to develop individualized treatment strategies, only a few have been conducted in patients with type 1 diabetes. This study aimed to identify the characteristics of Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes, classified into subgroups using data-driven cluster analysis based on pancreatic beta-cell function, obesity, and glycemic control, and clarify the association between these subgroups and diabetic complications.

Materials And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a cluster analysis using three variables (C-peptide, body mass index, and glycated hemoglobin) in 206 Japanese patients with type 1 diabetes was performed.

In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies on neurological symptoms induced as paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS) or neurological immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in patients treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Herein, we report a 68-year-old male patient with small-cell lung cancer who developed memory impairment and autonomic nervous system dysfunction after three courses of carboplatin, etoposide, and durvalumab therapy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed hyperintense areas restricted to the bilateral temporal lobes.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in glycemic control and diabetic complications over time in Japanese patients with juvenile-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus and to clarify the factors associated with the progression of diabetic complications.

Methods: We tracked 129 patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (21.8 ± 4.

To evaluate whether continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion attenuates the progression of diabetic complications, we retrospectively extracted data from 35 individuals who had developed type 1 diabetes mellitus aged ≤20 years and whose treatment had been changed from multiple daily injections to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. The annual changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate, urinary albumin excretion rate, carotid intima-media thickness and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity during each treatment period were calculated. Although mean glycated hemoglobin under the continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion treatment was lower than that under the multiple daily injection treatment, there were no significant differences in annual changes in diabetic nephropathy and atherosclerosis between the two treatment periods.
