Article Abstract
Purpose: To investigate the relationship between HbA1c variability and vibrating perception threshold (VPT) in middle-aged and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Patients And Methods: A total of 367 middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM were enrolled. All patients were categorized into the control and vibration sensation deficiency group (VSD) based on VPT. Clinical data were collected. The coefficient of variation of glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c-CV) and the mean glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c-Mean) are considered as indexes of HbA1c variability. Multivariate logistic regression analysis, the generalized linear model and ROC curve correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation of various factors and VPT.
Results: The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that age, systolic blood pressure (SBP), and HbA1c-CV were identified as risk factors for vibration sensation deficiency in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM, while estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), triiodothyronine (T3), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were considered as protective factors. In the unadjusted generalized linear model, a significant association was observed between HbA1c-CV and VPT values. After adjusting for age, diabetic duration, SBP, homeostatic model assessment for beta-cell function (HOMA-β), ALT, eGFR, T3, 24-hour urinary protein excretion levels, and HbA1c-Mean, HbA1c-CV remained significantly correlated with VPT values on both sides. (left side, B=2.560, 95% CI 1.298~3.823; P<0.001; right side, B=2.608, 95% CI 1.498~3.718, P<0.001). The area under the curve (AUC) for HbA1c-CV and VSD prevalence was 0.723, with a sensitivity of 79.85%, specificity of 56.22%.
Conclusion: The risk of developing VSD increases proportionally with higher HbA1c-CV levels in middle-aged and elderly patients with T2DM. Reaching and maintaining blood glucose stability is essential to the mitigation of diabetes peripheral neuropathy occurrence.

Misophonia is a condition characterized by intense negative emotional reactions to trigger sounds and related stimuli. In this study, adult listeners (N = 15) with a self-reported history of misophonia symptoms and a control group without misophonia (N = 15) completed listening judgements of recorded misophonia trigger stimuli using a standard scale. Participants also completed an established questionnaire of misophonia symptoms, the Misophonia Questionnaire (MQ).

Importance: Previous data suggest that the time changes associated with daylight savings time (DST) may be associated with an increased incidence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Objective: To determine whether the incidence of patients presenting with AMI is greater during the weeks during or after DST and compare the in-hospital clinical events between the week before DST and after DST.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This cross-sectional study examined patients enrolled in the Chest Pain MI Registry from 2013 to 2022.
Bariatric Surgery and Incident Development of Obesity-Related Comorbidities.

Importance: As obesity rates rise in the US, managing associated metabolic comorbidities presents a growing burden to the health care system. While bariatric surgery has shown promise in mitigating established metabolic conditions, no large studies have quantified the risk of developing major obesity-related comorbidities after bariatric surgery.
Objective: To identify common metabolic phenotypes for patients eligible for bariatric surgery and to estimate crude and adjusted incidence rates of additional metabolic comorbidities associated with bariatric surgery compared with weight management program (WMP) alone.

Importance: Patients with advanced cancer frequently receive broad-spectrum antibiotics, but changing use patterns across the end-of-life trajectory remain poorly understood.
Objective: To describe the patterns of broad-spectrum antibiotic use across defined end-of-life intervals in patients with advanced cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This nationwide, population-based, retrospective cohort study used data from the South Korean National Health Insurance Service database to examine broad-spectrum antibiotic use among patients with advanced cancer who died between July 1, 2002, and December 31, 2021.
Parent and Clinician Perspectives on Diagnostic Testing for Children With Diarrhea: A Qualitative Study.

Department of Population Health Sciences, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City.
Importance: Advances in diagnostics have enabled the detection of more gastrointestinal pathogens, but misuse of diagnostics can lead to inappropriate antibiotic use and excess financial burdens. Ensuring appropriate use of diagnostics is crucial for optimizing patient care and promoting stewardship of health care resources.
Objective: To elicit parents' and clinicians' perspectives on expectations for care of pediatric diarrhea with a focus on diagnostic testing and to evaluate the potential for an electronic clinical decision support tool (ECDST) to improve appropriate use of diagnostics.
