Article Abstract
Aims: To compare major limb events in individuals with type 2 diabetes who initiated either injective or oral semaglutide versus other glucose-lowering therapies (GLT) in a real-world setting.
Materials And Methods: This was a single-centre retrospective observational study on new users of diabetes medications. Participants had to have type 2 diabetes and a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease (PAD) or foot ulcers. Participant characteristics were assessed before and after propensity score matching. The primary outcome was major limb events (a composite of peripheral percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [PTA] or critical limb ischaemia [CLI]); secondary outcomes included singularly PTA, CLI, gangrene and lower extremity amputation (LEA).
Results: We analysed two matched groups of 167 participants each, who were predominantly males (57%), aged 61 years, with a 12-year duration of diabetes, a baseline HbA1c of 8.0% and body mass index (BMI) of 31 kg/m. During a median follow-up of 30.1 months, a primary-outcome event occurred in 72 of the participants (43.0%; incidence, 8.1 events per 100 person-years) in the semaglutide group, as compared with 93 of the participants (56.0%; incidence, 10.4 events per 100 person-years) in the GLT group (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.61-0.97; p = 0.029). Among the secondary outcomes, LEA (both major and minor) was 50% lower (HR = 0.50; 95% CI, 0.30-0.83, p = 0.008) in the semaglutide group as compared with the other group.
Conclusions: Among people with type 2 diabetes and PAD or foot ulcers, the use of semaglutide was associated with a significantly lower risk of major limb events than other GLTs.

Assessment of Amplitude and Temporal Differences of Cerebral Oxygen Saturation in Response to Hypotension Across Multiple Cerebrovascular Territories During Shoulder Surgery.

Introduction: Current commercial cerebral oximeters only monitor the frontal lobes, however, some cerebrovascular territories may experience ischemia while others remain well perfused. This pilot study used a novel, high-density, dual-wavelength, time-resolved functional cerebral oximeter (Kernel Flow) with 2000 channels to assess the regional differences of cerebral oxygenation (StO2) in response to hypotension across different vascular territories during shoulder surgery in the beach chair position.
Methods: Twenty-seven adult patients were monitored, recording blood pressure, heart rate, regional cerebral oxygen saturation, and other vital parameters.

Protein ufymilation is a post-translational modification implicated in the regulation of several cellular processes. Biallelic variants in UBA5 causing a functional alteration of its protein product have been associated with early-onset epileptic encephalopathy 44 (EIEE44), a rare disease for which 28 patients have been described in the literature at present. We here report on the clinical and detailed EEG phenotype of a novel patient affected by EIEE44.

Longitudinal extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) is a rare adverse event after vaccination. We present a case of severe myelitis in a 76-year-old man with positive anti-recoverin antibodies that occurred one week after RSVPreF3 vaccination against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). The patient presented with severe spastic paraparesis, urinary retention, postural tremor of the upper extremities, hypesthesia, severely impaired proprioception and vibration sense in the lower extremities, and tonic spasms of the lower extremities.

Aims: Decoding the motor intention by electroencephalography to control external devices is an effective method of helping spinal cord injury (SCI) patients to regain motor function. Still, SCI patients have much lower accuracy in the decoding of motor intentions compared to healthy individuals, which severely hampers the clinical application. However, the underlying neural mechanisms are still unknown.

Aim: - To investigate the incidences of death and lower limb amputation (LLA) among patients hospitalized with a first diabetic foot ulcer and to identify the associated risk factors.
Methods: - We leveraged medical records from 08/2017 to 10/2023 in the clinical data warehouse of the Greater Paris Hospitals. The primary outcome was the cumulative incidence of death estimated at 12 months.
