Article Abstract
Background: The use of anticoagulants is an established strategy to prevent stroke, embolism, and cardiovascular mortality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but its role in the prevention of incident diabetes is unclear. We aimed to investigate this question by using participant data from cohort studies.
Methods: We conducted a meta-analysis of participants to investigate the impact of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) on the risk of new-onset diabetes in AF patients. The collection of related data was performed in the PubMed and EMBASE databases until December 2021, including studies associated with evaluating the correlation between DOACs and incident diabetes. The hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were adjusted by the random-effects model with an inverse variance method.
Results: Two cohort studies with a total of 24,434 patients were included in this study (warfarin: = 6,906; DOACs: = 17,528). Compared with warfarin, the use of DOACs could reduce the incident diabetic risk in AF patients (HR = 0.75, 95%CI: 0.68-0.82). Investigations about the effects of three major classes of DOACs showed that the individual use of dabigatran (HR = 0.76, 95%CI: 0.64-0.90), rivaroxaban (HR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.64-0.87), apixaban (HR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.60-0.92) and the combined use of rivaroxaban and apixaban (HR = 0.74, 95%CI: 0.66-0.84) could reduce the risk of new-onset diabetes compared with warfarin. This risk reduction effect could be observed in both male and female groups (HR = 0.73, 95%CI: 0.64-0.84, < 0.00001; HR = 0.82, 95%CI: 0.82-0.99, = 0.04).
Conclusions: Treatment with DOACs compared with warfarin reduced the risk of new-onset diabetes in both male and female patients with AF.

Aims: Population-based studies have consistently shown that individuals with diabetes secondary to chronic pancreatitis (pancreatic diabetes) have a high risk of hypoglycaemia. We aimed to investigate whether this risk has declined over recent years following the introduction of modern glucose-lowering medications.
Materials And Methods: In this Danish nationwide population-based cohort study, we included all adults with new-onset diabetes between 1998 and 2022 and classified them as having pancreatic diabetes, type 1, or type 2 diabetes.
Cryptosporidium Diarrhea in a Patient With Class IV Lupus Nephritis on Cyclophosphamide: An Underreported Case.

is a protozoan parasite that typically causes self-limited diarrhea in healthy individuals but can result in prolonged, severe illness in those who are immunocompromised. While this infection is well recognized in HIV-positive patients, it is less frequently reported in individuals with lupus nephritis on immunosuppressive therapy. We report the case of a 27-year-old man with biopsy-confirmed class IV lupus nephritis who was receiving cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids.

Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following anatomic lung resection, contributing to increased morbidity and mortality, prolonged hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Despite its frequency, there remains limited consensus on optimal pharmacologic management in this population, particularly in the context of balancing efficacy with the unique risks associated with thoracic surgery. This report aims to draw attention to the clinical significance of POAF in thoracic surgery, particularly following pulmonary resections, by presenting a representative case and contextualizing it through a focused review of current literature and consensus guidelines.

Background: The association observed between mental stress and metabolic syndrome (MetS) has varied across studies and may be confounded by physical activity (PA) and fitness status.
Method: This study included a military cohort of 2,854 participants in Taiwan who were not taking any medications and were free of baseline MetS. The Brief Symptoms Rating Scale (BSRS-5) includes five domains-depression, anxiety, hostility, insomnia, and interpersonal sensitivity-measured on a five-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 to 4, with a maximum score of 20.
