Article Abstract
Controlling the epidemic of diabetes is an urgent global healthcare challenge. The low uptake of diabetes prevention programs highlights difficulties in scalability, partly due to the need for intensive face-to-face contact and its impact on healthcare resource utilization. In this narrative review, we will summarize the latest evidence in technology-assisted lifestyle interventions. We will appraise evidence of digital diabetes prevention programs that use internet platforms or text messaging tools to support information delivery, lifestyle coaching, or peer support. We will also discuss the use of wearables, including physical activity trackers and continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) as part of lifestyle intervention. Experience from diabetes highlights the potential for CGM as a motivational tool to promote lifestyle change. The integration of digital data may facilitate earlier detection of prediabetes, sub-phenotyping, and personalized nutritional predictions. We will highlight major gaps in research and the need for rigorous clinical trials to evaluate the acceptability and cost-effectiveness of integrating technologies as part of a multicomponent strategy in diabetes prevention.

This study examined trends in the proportion of adults with self-reported hypertension and in antihypertensive medication use among community-dwelling Australian adults. We analysed data from a longitudinal panel study, covering four waves: 2009 (n = 8023), 2013 (n = 11,475), 2017 (n = 12,843), and 2021 (n = 14,571) for adults aged 18-74 years. Hypertension and antihypertensive medication use were self-reported.

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive type of lung cancer, characterized by rapid proliferation, early metastatic spread, frequent early relapse and a high mortality rate. Recent evidence has suggested that innervation has an important role in the development and progression of several types of cancer. Cancer-to-neuron synapses have been reported in gliomas, but whether peripheral tumours can form such structures is unknown.

Maintaining safe and potent drug levels in vivo is challenging. Multidomain peptides assemble into supramolecular hydrogels with a well-defined, highly porous nanostructure that makes them attractive for drug delivery. However, their ability to extend release is typically limited by rapid drug diffusion.

Existing evaluations of the National Health Service Diabetes Prevention Programme (NHS DPP) in England have demonstrated associated reductions in body weight, hemoglobin A1c and incident type 2 diabetes (T2D). In this study, we examined associations between completion of the NHS DPP and incidence of T2D and 30 other long-term conditions (LTCs), including LTCs considered linked to the program's interventional goals of body weight reduction, increased physical activity and improved diet quality (LTC-L) and LTCs considered to be possibly linked to those goals (LTC-PL). We found that completers of the NHS DPP had lower incidences of T2D, LTC-L and LTC-PL compared to non-attenders.

Background: There is no consensus for using statins for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), because no randomized controlled trial has exclusively investigated statins in this population.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the long-term risks and benefits of statins for primary prevention in adults with T1DM.
Methods: We performed a sequential target trial emulation comparing statin initiation vs noninitiation using UK primary care data from the IQVIA Medical Research Data database.
