Article Abstract
SGLT2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) enables glucose and sodium reabsorption in the kidney. SGLT2-inhibitors (also known as gliflozins, which include canagliflozin, dapagliflozin, empagliflozin, and ertugliflozin) act by increasing glycosuria, thereby reducing glycemia. These drugs are critical to reach and keep glycemic control, a crucial feature, especially in patients with comorbidities, like frail individuals. Several studies evaluated the effects of SGLT2-inhibitors in different settings beyond diabetes, revealing that they are actually pleiotropic drugs. We recently evidenced the favorable effects of SGLT2-inhibition on physical and cognitive impairment in frail older adults with diabetes and hypertension. In the present overview, we summarize the latest clinical and preclinical studies exploring the main effects of SGLT2-inhibitors on kidney and heart, emphasizing their potential beneficial actions in frailty.

Finerenone according to insulin resistance in heart failure: Insights from the FINEARTS-HF trial.
Eur J Heart Fail
September 2025
Cardiovascular Division, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Aims: The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a simple, non-invasive measure of insulin resistance. In this exploratory analysis of FINEARTS-HF, we evaluated whether lower eGDR, reflecting greater insulin resistance, is associated with adverse outcomes in heart failure (HF).
Methods And Results: The eGDR was calculated at baseline using waist circumference, glycated haemoglobin, and hypertension status.
99mTc-Labeled Cefixime for Targeted Imaging of Infections: Preclinical Evaluation and Potential in Postpartum Women.

Department of Chemistry, NFC Institute of Technology, Multan, Pakistan.
Introduction: Targeted infection imaging is crucial for accurate diagnosis in postpartum women. This project uses 99mTc-labeled cefixime to develop a radiopharmaceutical for detecting, distinguishing, and treating infections and abscesses in women.
Method: Technetium (TcO4-) chelated with cefixime, reduced by stannous chloride, confirmed via thin-layer chromatography.
Development and validation of a prognostic model for predicting the risk of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions: a retrospective new-user cohort study using linked primary care, hospitalisation, and mortality data.

Background: Allopurinol, the most prescribed urate-lowering drug, is a known cause of severe cutaneous adverse reactions. We aimed to develop and validate a model to assess the risk of allopurinol-induced severe cutaneous adverse reactions in adults newly prescribed allopurinol.
Methods: In this retrospective new-user cohort study, we developed and validated a prognostic model using primary care, hospitalisation, and mortality data extracted from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD) primary care database, for the period Jan 1, 2001, to March 29, 2021.
First use of imlifidase desensitization in a highly sensitized heart and liver transplant candidate: A case report.

Heart transplant candidates that are highly sensitized against human leukocyte antigens (HLA) face ongoing challenge in finding immunologically compatible donors. Desensitization strategies aimed at reducing HLA antibody titers have variable success rates. Imlifidase, a novel immunoglobulin G-degrading enzyme derived from Streptococcus pyogenes has been successfully used to eliminate pre-formed antibodies in sensitized kidney transplant recipients.

Adiyaman University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Adiyaman, Turkey. Electronic address:
Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effects of bupivacaine on acute kidney injury (AKI) through kidney function parameters and cardiac tissue damage via TRPM2, HSP70, TLR4, NF-κB, and TNF-α biomarkers.
Material And Method: Male Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 groups, with seven rats in each group: Control group, AKI group (kidney damage induced by glycerol), AKI + L group (group treated with bupivacaine), and L group (group treated with bupivacaine alone). At the end of the experiment, kidney and heart tissues were collected for histological analysis, and serum samples were taken for biochemical analysis.
