Article Abstract

Management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) largely relies on medication adherence of individuals with diabetes to achieve optimal glycemic control. The economic burden of diabetes could impede adherence, leading to a reduction in treatment efficacy and increased risk of complications. Furthermore, monotherapy in diabetes is losing traction due to its ineffectiveness in achieving early and sustained optimal glycemic control in a significant proportion of the population. Hence, clinicians prefer combination treatment due to their improved efficacy and safety. Considering these factors, the current review highlights the safety and efficacy of the affordable combination therapies, a dual therapy, glipizide + metformin, and a triple-drug combination of glimepiride + metformin + pioglitazone and its applicability in the management of T2DM among individuals with diabetes in India.

Background: Neighborhoods resulting from rapid urbanization processes are often saturated with eateries for local communities, potentially increasing exposure to unhealthy foods and creating diabetogenic residential habitats.

Objective: We examined the association between proximity of commercial food outlets to local neighborhood residences and type 2 diabetes (T2D) cases to explore how local T2D rates vary by location and provide policy-driven metrics to monitor food outlet density as a potential control for high local T2D rates.

Methods: This cross-sectional ecological study included 11,354 patients with active T2D aged ≥20 years geocoded using approximate neighborhood residence aggregated to area-level rates and counts by subdistricts (mukims) in Penang, northern Malaysia.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is characterized by impaired mucociliary clearance and pulmonary infections. Accumulating evidence suggests that fundamentally abnormal inflammatory responses also contribute to CF pathology. TGFβ, a pleiotropic cytokine, is a modifier of CF lung disease; its mechanism of action in CF is unclear.

Cystathionine γ-lyase (CSE) produces hydrogen sulfide (HS), a vasodilator critical for vascular function. While its systemic effects are well-documented, its role in erectile physiology remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of CSE deletion on vascular and erectile tissue reactivity.

Fibrosis in visceral white adipose tissue (vWAT) is closely associated with tissue dysfunction and systemic metabolic disturbances in obesity. Identifying pathways amenable to drug intervention to prevent fibrotic changes in vWAT is a critical step in addressing the array of metabolic complications associated with obesity. CD9 adipose progenitors (Progs) are key drivers of vWAT fibrosis.

Background: We investigated circulating protein profiles and molecular pathways among various chronic kidney disease (CKD) etiologies to study its underlying molecular heterogeneity.

Methods: We conducted a proteomic biomarker analysis in the DAPA-CKD trial recruiting adults with and without type 2 diabetes with an eGFR of 25 to 75 mL/min/1.73m2 and a UACR of 200 to 5000 mg/g.
