Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a chronic condition that requires not only a team-based approach but also substantial self-management by those affected. Patient-clinician barriers such as lack of educational resources, hesitancy in initiation of therapy, concerns over treatment-related side effects, frequency of dosing, and the establishment of treatment goals, can prevent a patient from achieving optimal glycemic management. Recently, advances in diabetes technology and insulin formulations have helped to address some of these concerns. Insulin icodec, the first once-weekly basal insulin analog, has demonstrated efficacy and safety comparable to traditional basal insulin formulations. Since clinicians and patients may benefit from a once-weekly therapy, this review sought to evaluate the potential clinical implications of insulin icodec. A literature search was performed using PubMed, Google Scholar, and ClinicalTrials.gov up to 31 January 2024. Key search terms such as once-weekly basal insulin, icodec, and ONWARDS were utilized to compile relevant publications. Further, studies involving patients living with T2D on once-weekly insulin icodec compared with once-daily basal insulin were considered for this review. Findings from this review suggest insulin icodec can offer a reduced dosing frequency that may improve medication adherence, provide effective glycemic management, and a comparable safety profile to existing basal insulins. In summary, insulin icodec may help to remove patient-clinician barriers associated with suboptimal glycemic management with its once-weekly dosing schedule. Clinicians can further support a patient's ability to self-manage the disease through continued monitoring and guidance on the use of icodec.

2 型糖尿病(T2D)是一种慢性病,不仅需要团队合作,还需要患者进行大量的自我管理。患者与医生之间存在的障碍,如缺乏教育资源、在开始治疗时犹豫不决、对治疗相关副作用的担忧、用药频率以及治疗目标的确定,都会阻碍患者实现最佳血糖管理。最近,糖尿病技术和胰岛素配方的进步有助于解决其中一些问题。胰岛素 icodec 是首款每周一次的基础胰岛素类似物,其疗效和安全性与传统的基础胰岛素制剂不相上下。由于临床医生和患者可能会从一周一次的治疗中获益,本综述试图评估胰岛素 icodec 的潜在临床意义。我们使用 PubMed、Google Scholar 和 ClinicalTrials.gov 对截至 2024 年 1 月 31 日的文献进行了检索。利用每周一次基础胰岛素、icodec 和 ONWARDS 等关键检索词汇编了相关出版物。此外,本综述还考虑了涉及使用每周一次胰岛素 icodec 和每日一次基础胰岛素的 T2D 患者的研究。本综述的研究结果表明,伊科达克胰岛素可减少给药频率,从而改善用药依从性,提供有效的血糖管理,并具有与现有基础胰岛素相当的安全性。总之,胰岛素 icodec 每周一次的给药计划有助于消除患者与临床医生之间因血糖管理不理想而产生的障碍。临床医生可以通过对 icodec 使用情况的持续监测和指导,进一步提高患者自我管理疾病的能力。

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD), a nonrheumatic stenosis of the trileaflet aortic valve, is a complex, multifaceted cardiovascular condition involving a widespread inflammatory process and an analogous atheromatous process affecting the arteries. It is currently the most encountered valvular abnormality in cardiology. Although distinctive abnormal mechanical forces are at the core propelling a responsive mechanosensitive feedback cascade, implicated in both initiation and perpetuation of CAVD; we propose a conundrum of metabolic abnormalities including hypertension, elevated fasting blood sugar, decreased high-density lipoprotein, hypertriglyceridemia, and abdominal obesity as perpetuators of this process. Furthermore, we suggest CAVD as a cardio metabolic disorder. New perspectives as well as which pathways we believe are critically involved and ideas for early intervention are discussed.

主动脉瓣钙化病(CAVD)是主动脉三叶瓣的一种非风湿性狭窄,是一种复杂的、多方面的心血管疾病,涉及广泛的炎症过程和影响动脉的类似动脉粥样硬化过程。它是目前心脏病学中最常见的瓣膜异常。虽然独特的异常机械力是推动机械敏感性反馈级联反应的核心,与 CAVD 的启动和延续都有关联;但我们提出了代谢异常的难题,包括高血压、空腹血糖升高、高密度脂蛋白减少、高甘油三酯血症和腹型肥胖,它们是这一过程的延续因素。此外,我们还认为 CAVD 是一种心血管代谢紊乱。我们还讨论了新的视角以及我们认为关键的参与途径和早期干预的想法。

Objectives: The association between diuretic use and cardiorenal outcomes remains limited in patients with stage 3-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hypertension. To address this gap, we aim to investigate the long-term clinical impact of diuretic use with its pharmacological classification in Taiwanese patients with stage 3-5 CKD and hypertension who were concurrently received angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEIs) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).

Methods: Using data from the National Health Insurance Research Database (January 2008 to December 2019), we focused on individuals with stage 3-5 CKD receiving ACEIs/ARBs between 2010 and 2018. We categorized the cohort into non-diuretic, loop diuretic (furosemide), thiazide diuretic, and combination diuretic groups. We used a Cox proportional hazards regression model with propensity score matching to analyze the influence of diuretics on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) death, and cardiorenal adverse outcomes.

Results: The study included 59,719 patients, with 17,585 in the non-diuretic group and 42,134 in the diuretic group. Diuretics including furosemide use was significantly associated the risks of hospitalization for decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF), acute renal failure (ARF), end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis, CV mortality, and all-cause mortality (p-value <0.001). Thiazide diuretics showed no such adverse outcomes associations. The group receiving both thiazide and furosemide was more associated with all-cause mortality than the nondiuretic, thiazide, and furosemide monotherapy groups (all p-value <0.001).

Conclusion: Among stage 3-5 CKD patients on ACEIs/ARBs, loop diuretics exposure was associated with increased mortality and hospitalization for cardiorenal events, while thiazide diuretics exposure in isolation had no such associations. In the present data, we cannot evaluate the relationship between furosemide-associated adverse outcomes and worse renal function. These findings highlight the need for randomized controlled trials to assess the safety of loop diuretics in this population, urging caution in their prescription without a clear clinical indication.

目的:在 3-5 期慢性肾脏病(CKD)和高血压患者中,利尿剂的使用与心衰结果之间的关系仍然有限。为了填补这一空白,我们旨在研究同时接受血管紧张素转换酶抑制剂(ACEIs)或血管紧张素II受体阻滞剂(ARBs)治疗的台湾3-5期慢性肾脏病和高血压患者使用利尿剂的长期临床影响及其药理分类:利用全国健康保险研究数据库(2008 年 1 月至 2019 年 12 月)的数据,我们重点研究了 2010 年至 2018 年期间接受 ACEIs/ARBs 治疗的 3-5 期 CKD 患者。我们将队列分为非利尿剂组、襻利尿剂组(呋塞米)、噻嗪类利尿剂组和联合利尿剂组。我们使用倾向得分匹配的 Cox 比例危险回归模型分析了利尿剂对全因死亡率、心血管(CV)死亡和心肾不良结局的影响:研究共纳入 59719 名患者,其中非利尿剂组 17585 人,利尿剂组 42134 人。包括呋塞米在内的利尿剂的使用与失代偿性充血性心力衰竭(CHF)、急性肾功能衰竭(ARF)、需要透析的终末期肾病(ESRD)住院风险、心血管疾病死亡率和全因死亡率显著相关(p-value p-value 结论):在使用 ACEIs/ARBs 的 3-5 期 CKD 患者中,襻利尿剂暴露与死亡率和心肾事件住院率增加有关,而单独使用噻嗪类利尿剂则没有这种关联。根据目前的数据,我们无法评估呋塞米相关不良后果与肾功能恶化之间的关系。这些发现突出表明,有必要进行随机对照试验,以评估襻利尿剂在这一人群中的安全性,并敦促在没有明确临床指征的情况下谨慎处方襻利尿剂。

Objectives: COVID-19 infection is not limited to medical aspects, but may have significant negative impacts on education, tourism, the economy as well as sociocultural, ethical, and legal aspects. We aimed to assess the multidimensional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatricians by examining their COVID-19 infection, domestic life and quarantine, as well as work patterns, educational activities, and psychosocial impact.

Methods: An online survey consisted of seven sections and 68 questions was prepared through 'Google Forms.' The survey was sent via e-mail to physicians who are members of the National Pediatric Association of Turkey.

Results: The pandemic has affected pediatricians working in our country in a multifaceted aspect. They experienced significant anxiety/depression/stress, 8% of them felt it at a pathological level and were receiving treatment, and women and young pediatricians were more vulnerable to the pandemic. The more adequately informed about the disease, the more prepared for COVID-19 and lower levels of psychological distress, which emphasizes the importance of education and institutional continuing support. Our study showed that academic education was seriously disrupted and the satisfaction rate with virtual education was low.

Conclusion: Although COVID-19 has less impact today, it has taught us that it is necessary to be ready for new pandemics in the future. The required measures should be taken urgently and effectively healthcare professionals should follow a rational and applicable disaster plan.

目标:COVID-19 感染不仅限于医疗方面,还可能对教育、旅游、经济以及社会文化、伦理和法律方面产生重大负面影响。我们旨在通过考察儿科医生的 COVID-19 感染、家庭生活和隔离情况,以及工作模式、教育活动和社会心理影响,评估 COVID-19 大流行对儿科医生的多方面影响:方法:通过 "谷歌表格 "编制了一份在线调查,包括七个部分和 68 个问题。调查通过电子邮件发送给土耳其全国儿科协会的会员医生:大流行对在我国工作的儿科医生造成了多方面的影响。他们经历了严重的焦虑/抑郁/压力,其中 8%的人感到焦虑/抑郁/压力达到病态水平并正在接受治疗,女性和年轻儿科医生更容易受到大流行病的影响。对疾病的了解越充分,对 COVID-19 的准备越充分,心理压力水平越低,这强调了教育和机构持续支持的重要性。我们的研究表明,学术教育受到严重干扰,对虚拟教育的满意度较低:尽管 COVID-19 如今的影响较小,但它告诉我们有必要为未来新的流行病做好准备。应立即采取必要的措施,医护人员应遵循合理、适用的灾难计划。

Peroneal neuropathy, characterized by the occurrence of a foot drop, can develop due to a variety of factors, such as tumors, trauma, or metabolic conditions, making it one of the most prevalent peripheral neuropathies of the lower limbs. This condition is becoming more identifiable among patients who have undergone substantial weight reduction through bariatric surgery. The condition may present with symptoms like pain, sporadic paresthesia, and functional restrictions, primarily linked to foot drop. This case study explores an episode of acute foot drop in a patient who underwent a sleeve gastrectomy, leading to substantial weight loss.The patient, a middle-aged woman with a history of obesity, underwent sleeve gastrectomy and achieved normal body mass index (BMI) within a year. Eleven months post-surgery, she experienced a right-sided foot drop following a minor knee injury. Detailed history taking revealed noncompliance with vitamin supplementation, recurrent vomiting episodes, and a recent diagnosis of pancreatic insufficiency. Peripheral neuropathy, particularly peroneal nerve involvement, was confirmed through nerve conduction studies and radiological imaging. The mechanism of injury was attributed to rapid weight loss, potential nutrient deficiencies, and possible traction to the nerve.This case underscores the importance of early identification, comprehensive nutritional assessment, and timely intervention in managing neurological complications of post-bariatric surgery. Increased awareness among healthcare providers, particularly musculoskeletal specialists, is crucial as the prevalence of bariatric surgery continues to grow, ensuring optimal care for patients in this vulnerable population.

腓肠神经病变的特点是足下垂,可由多种因素引起,如肿瘤、外伤或代谢性疾病,是最常见的下肢周围神经病之一。在通过减肥手术大幅减轻体重的患者中,这种病症越来越容易被发现。该病可能表现为疼痛、零星麻痹和功能受限等症状,主要与足下垂有关。本病例研究探讨了一名接受袖状胃切除术后体重大幅下降的患者出现急性足下垂的情况。患者是一名有肥胖病史的中年女性,接受了袖状胃切除术,并在一年内达到了正常的体重指数(BMI)。手术后 11 个月,她在一次轻微膝伤后出现右侧足下垂。详细询问病史后发现,她没有按时补充维生素,反复呕吐,最近还被诊断为胰腺功能不全。通过神经传导研究和放射影像学检查,证实患者患有周围神经病变,尤其是腓肠神经受累。该病例强调了早期识别、全面营养评估和及时干预对控制减肥术后神经并发症的重要性。随着减肥手术的普及率不断提高,医疗服务提供者,尤其是肌肉骨骼专科医生,必须提高对这一问题的认识,以确保为这一弱势群体的患者提供最佳护理。

Objectives: This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate sleep quality and perceived stress levels in Chinese patients with active minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis (MiRAS) lesions, as well as to investigate the potential relationship between sleep quality and perceived stress levels and the risk of MiRAS episodes.

Methods: The study population consisted of individuals recruited from a Chinese cohort who underwent medical and oral examinations from March 2022 to August 2023. All participants completed a set of uniform anonymous questionnaires, which included sociodemographic characteristics, clinical information, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14). Statistical analysis was conducted using the independent sample t test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson's chi-square test and Pearson's correlation analysis. After adjusting for potential confounders (age, gender, marital status, and education level), multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations of sleep quality and perceived stress levels with the risk of MiRAS episodes. Additionally, restricted cubic spline curves were constructed to visualize these correlations.

Results: A total of 329 eligible volunteers participated in the study, comprising 122 Chinese MiRAS patients and 207 healthy controls without MiRAS. Compared to healthy participants, MiRAS patients exhibited significantly higher PSQI and ISI scores (p = 0.000). However, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups regarding PSS-14 scores or its two subscales (p > 0.05). Multiple regression analysis indicated that lower sleep quality was significantly associated with an increased risk of MiRAS episodes (p = 0.000), whereas no statistically significant relationship was found between perceived stress levels and the risk of MiRAS episodes (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: Maintaining a regular bedtime and improving sleep quality may contribute to reducing the incidence and recurrence of MiRAS, while psychological intervention may be ineffective for MiRAS patients.

研究目的这项横断面研究旨在评估中国轻度复发性口腔炎(MiRAS)活动性病变患者的睡眠质量和感知压力水平,并探讨睡眠质量和感知压力水平与MiRAS发作风险之间的潜在关系:研究对象包括2022年3月至2023年8月期间接受体检和口腔检查的中国人。所有参与者都填写了一套统一的匿名问卷,其中包括社会人口学特征、临床信息、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)、失眠严重程度指数(ISI)和感知压力量表(PSS-14)。统计分析采用独立样本 t 检验、曼-惠特尼 U 检验、皮尔逊卡方检验和皮尔逊相关分析。在调整了潜在的混杂因素(年龄、性别、婚姻状况和教育水平)后,进行了多变量逻辑回归分析,以评估睡眠质量和感知压力水平与 MiRAS 发作风险的关联。此外,还构建了限制性三次样条曲线,以直观显示这些相关性:共有329名符合条件的志愿者参与了研究,其中包括122名中国MiRAS患者和207名未患MiRAS的健康对照者。与健康参与者相比,MiRAS 患者的 PSQI 和 ISI 分数明显更高(p = 0.000)。然而,两组患者的 PSS-14 评分及其两个分量表在统计学上没有明显差异(P > 0.05)。多元回归分析表明,较低的睡眠质量与 MiRAS 发作风险的增加有显著相关性(p = 0.000),而感知压力水平与 MiRAS 发作风险之间没有统计学意义上的显著关系(p > 0.05):结论:保持规律的就寝时间和改善睡眠质量可能有助于降低米粒吸虫病的发病率和复发率,而心理干预对米粒吸虫病患者可能无效。

Objectives: Dyslipidemia is a well-established risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). ASCVD prevalence among people living with HIV (PLWH) is twice that of the general population. This study aimed to evaluate the infectious diseases (ID) physicians' attitudes on dyslipidemia management in PLWH.

Methods: This observational, cross-sectional study was conducted as online survey among ID physicians between November 2023 and February 2024. An e-mail with the survey link, title and purpose of the study was sent to physicians through the local ID societies. The survey included questions about physicians' demographic characteristics and their attitudes toward treating dyslipidemia in PLWH.

Results: A total of 242 physicians responded to the survey, of whom 59.9% (n = 145) were ID specialists and 40.1% (n = 97) were ID residents. Forty-one percent (n = 100) of physicians reported that they did not follow a guideline, and 26% of physicians reported that they did not use a cardiovascular risk calculator in their clinical practice. Specialists (69%) were more likely than residents (43.3%) to follow clinical guidelines for dyslipidemia management (p < 0.001). Seventy-two percent (n = 174) of physicians doubted the need to treat dyslipidemia, and 73% (n = 177) of physicians were affected by the patient skepticism. Workload and lack of time were identified by 68.6% of physicians as barriers to implementing dyslipidemia guideline recommendations.

Conclusion: A considerable number of Turkish ID physicians did not prefer using clinical guidelines for dyslipidemia and ASCVD risk calculators. Statin prescribing of physicians was influenced by workload, lack of time, patient skepticism, and lack of knowledge. Training ID physicians in primary prevention of ASCVD and management of dyslipidemia in PLWH is paramount.

目的:血脂异常是动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病(ASCVD)的公认风险因素。艾滋病病毒感染者(PLWH)的 ASCVD 患病率是普通人群的两倍。本研究旨在评估传染病(ID)医生对艾滋病病毒感染者血脂异常管理的态度:这项观察性横断面研究在 2023 年 11 月至 2024 年 2 月期间对 ID 医生进行了在线调查。通过当地的 ID 协会向医生发送了一封包含调查链接、标题和研究目的的电子邮件。调查内容包括医生的人口统计学特征及其对 PLWH 血脂异常的治疗态度:共有 242 名医生回复了调查,其中 59.9%(n = 145)为内科专科医生,40.1%(n = 97)为内科住院医生。41%(n = 100)的医生称他们没有遵循指南,26%的医生称他们在临床实践中没有使用心血管风险计算器。与住院医师(43.3%)相比,专科医生(69%)更有可能遵循血脂异常管理的临床指南(p n = 174),73%(n = 177)的医生怀疑是否有必要治疗血脂异常,73%(n = 177)的医生受到患者怀疑态度的影响。68.6%的医生认为工作量大和缺乏时间是实施血脂异常指南建议的障碍:结论:相当多的土耳其内科医生不喜欢使用血脂异常临床指南和 ASCVD 风险计算器。医生开具他汀类药物处方受到工作量、时间不足、患者怀疑和知识缺乏的影响。对 ID 医生进行 ASCVD 初级预防和 PLWH 血脂异常管理方面的培训至关重要。

Stroke is a devastating clinical condition characterized by an acute neurological impairment secondary to cerebrovascular disease. Globally, stroke is the second leading cause of mortality and disability, with prominent risk factors including age, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, atrial fibrillation, diabetes, smoking, preexisting vascular anomalies and obesity. Acute neurological deficits are commonly encountered in the inpatient wards. Heightened clinical suspicion and prompt evaluation involving neurological examination and imaging are crucial for effective management. At many hospitals, hospitalists are tasked with managing stroke patients with consultation from neurologists. The management of stroke is constantly evolving as new and advanced therapies emerge. This review of the literature seeks to summarize current practice in stroke management in hopes it is helpful to those hospitalists who care for this patient population frequently. A search of the literature was performed to summarize current research as well as management and therapeutic strategies.

脑卒中是一种破坏性临床疾病,其特征是继发于脑血管疾病的急性神经功能损伤。在全球范围内,脑卒中是导致死亡和残疾的第二大原因,其主要风险因素包括年龄、高血压、高脂血症、心房颤动、糖尿病、吸烟、原有血管异常和肥胖。急性神经功能缺损常见于住院病房。加强临床怀疑并及时进行包括神经系统检查和影像学检查在内的评估对于有效治疗至关重要。在许多医院,住院医师的任务是在神经科医师的会诊下管理卒中患者。随着新的先进疗法的出现,脑卒中的治疗也在不断发展。本文献综述旨在总结当前的卒中管理实践,希望对经常护理这类患者的住院医师有所帮助。我们对文献进行了检索,以总结当前的研究以及管理和治疗策略。

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the dynamic changes in the platelets of patients with severe heatstroke and the impact of these changes on the occurrence of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and prognosis in them.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study conducted at two tertiary hospitals recruited 264 patients with severe heatstroke. Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between platelet counts and DIC. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive performance of platelets count for DIC occurrence. We used mediation effect to analysis the role of DIC as a mediating variable to mediate the relationship between platelet count decrease after 24 hours and death.

Results: There were 214 patients with lower platelet counts compared to admission (107 × 109/L[69,168] vs.171 × 109/L[126,215], p < 0.001). The DIC patients had lower platelet counts than the non-DIC patients when measured in the emergency department and after 24 hours. The platelet count decrease after 24 hours was a risk factor for DIC (odds ratio [OR] = 2.710, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.069-6.869). The results of the ROC curve revealed that the predictive performance of the platelet count after 24 hours (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.8685, 95% CI = 0.8173-0.9197) was significantly better than that of the platelet count measured in the emergency department (AUC = 0.7080, 95% CI = 0.6345-0.7815). Mediation analyses showed that PLT decrease after 24 hours did not directly lead to death, but can indirectly cause death by inducing the development of DIC.

Conclusions: Decreased platelet count is an independent risk factor for DIC in patients with severe heatstroke. Although the platelet counts measured in the emergency department and after 24 hours show a good predictive performance for DIC occurrence, the prediction performance of the latter is better.

研究目的本研究旨在探讨重症中暑患者血小板的动态变化及其对弥散性血管内凝血(DIC)发生和预后的影响:这项回顾性队列研究在两家三甲医院进行,共招募了264名重症中暑患者。采用逻辑回归分析血小板计数与 DIC 之间的关系。使用接收者操作特征曲线(ROC)评估血小板计数对 DIC 发生的预测性能。我们使用中介效应分析了 DIC 作为中介变量在 24 小时后血小板计数下降与死亡之间的中介作用:结果:与入院时相比,有 214 名患者的血小板计数降低(107 × 109/L[69,168] vs.171 × 109/L[126,215], p 结论:血小板计数降低是导致 DIC 发生的重要因素:血小板计数降低是重症中暑患者发生 DIC 的独立危险因素。虽然在急诊室和 24 小时后测量的血小板计数对 DIC 的发生有良好的预测作用,但后者的预测作用更好。
