Article Abstract
Aims: To evaluate glucose control non-inferiority and time benefits of telemedicine follow-up in children with type 1 diabetes (CwD).
Methods: In a single-center 9-month-long randomized controlled study (clinicaltrials.gov NCT05484427), 50 children were randomized to either telemedicine group (TG) followed-up distantly by e-mail, or to face-to-face group (FFG) attending standard personal visits. The primary endpoint was non-inferiority of HbA1c at final visit (level of non-inferiority was set at 5 mmol/mol). The secondary endpoints were subcutaneous glucose monitoring parameters and time consumption from both study subjects' and the physicians' point of view.
Results: Non-inferiority of HbA1c in the TG was proven (mean HbA1C 45.8 ± 7.3 [TG] vs. 50.0 ± 12.6 [FFG] mmol/mol, 6.3 vs. 6.7 % DCCT, p = 0.17; between groups HbA1C difference 95 % CI -10.2 to 1.9 mmol/mol). Telemedicine saved time for participants (mean visit duration [MVD] 50 [TG] vs. 247 min [FFG], p < 0.001). There were no other differences between groups neither in CGM parameters nor physician's time consumption (MVD 19 [TG] vs. 20 min [FFG], p = 0.58).
Conclusions: Nine-month telemedicine follow-up of the children with well-controlled T1D is not inferior to standard face-to-face visits. Telemedicine visits saved time for the participants but not for their diabetologists.

Three new steroidal saponins, kingianoside L-N (1-3), whose structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic analysis, and 15 known compounds (4-18) were isolated from Polygonatum kingianum var. grandifolium, a source of the traditional antihyperglycemic medicine Polygonati rhizome. The effects of compounds 1-13 on α-glucosidase activity were evaluated in vitro.

Background: Older patients presenting with nonspecific complaints (NSC) in the Emergency Department (ED) pose diagnostic challenges. The lack of clear symptoms leads to high misdiagnosis rates, extended hospital stays, and functional impairment. However, limited research exists on diagnostic test utilization for this population.

Sulfonylureas are effective for NDM caused by KCNJ11 or ABCC8 mutations, which are among the most common genetic causes, therefore they are often given before genetic testing. Unfortunately, in certain ethnicities, this mutation rarely occurs.

Background: Experience with icodextrin use in children on long-term peritoneal dialysis is limited. We describe international icodextrin prescription practices and their impact on clinical outcomes: ultrafiltration, blood pressure control, residual kidney function (RKF), technique and patient survival.
Methods: We included patients under 21 years enrolled in the International Pediatric Peritoneal Dialysis Network (IPPN) between 2007 and 2024, on automated PD with a daytime dwell.

Increased adiposity and chronic psychosocial stress (CPS) are plausible modifiable contributors of the recent increase in early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC). We conducted an 8-week randomized controlled pilot trial evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of time restricted eating (TRE) (daily ad libitum eating between 12-8pm) and Mindfulness ("Mindfulness for Beginners" course from the Calm app) among young adults. Participants were randomized to the following groups: TRE ( = 10); Mindfulness ( = 11); TRE & Mindfulness ( = 11); or Control ( = 11).
