However, we have recently shown that weight loss induced prediabetes remission reduces relative T2D risk by 73% within the following two years. Therefore, we investigated relative T2D risk reduction in people with weight loss vs those with weight loss and prediabetes remission in an independent cohort: the randomized controlled Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP). Methods: Individuals who lost >7% of their body weight over the first year were included in this analysis. Of these, 416 were assigned to intensive lifestyle intervention and 64 received placebo. Remission of prediabetes was defined by normalization of fasting and 2h glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test and a normalized HbA1c according to ADA criteria. Non-remission was given when at least one of these criteria was not met. We computed Kaplan-Meier curves and compared them using log-rank tests and future T2D risk was assessed by computing the relative risk between groups.\u0000Results: In DPP, 480 individuals achieved a weight loss of >7% and of these 114 additionally achieved prediabetes remission. Over the period of 6 years, those who achieved weight loss and remission had a 66% lower relative risk to develop T2D compared to those who only met the 7% weight loss goal [RR=0.34, 95% CI (0.15, 0.76)]. Similarly, weight loss responders had a lower relative future T2D risk compared to weight loss non-responders [RR=0.28, 95% CI (0.13, 0.64)]. Importantly, there was not a single T2D case in weight loss responders for up to 4 years after the intervention.\u0000Conclusions/interpretation: The combination of achieving weight loss goals and prediabetes remission is most effective in reducing future T2D risk. Thus, beside weight loss goals, interventions in individuals with prediabetes should be continued until prediabetes remission is achieved and this ought to be adapted in current clinical praxis guidelines.","PeriodicalId":501419,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Endocrinology","volume":"65 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140301483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individuals of Mexican descent living in South Texas have increased prevalence of comorbid T2D and early onset AD, despite low incidence of the predisposing APOE-e4 variant and an absence of the phenotype among relatives residing in Mexico – suggesting a role for environmental factors in coincident T2D and AD susceptibility. Here, in a small clinical trial, we show dysbiosis of the human gut microbiome could contribute to neuroinflammation and risk for AD in this population. Divergent Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS) responses, despite no differences in expressed dietary preferences, provided the first evidence for altered gut microbial ecology among T2D subjects (sT2D) versus population-matched healthy controls (HC). Metataxonomic 16S rRNA sequencing of participant stool revealed a decrease in alpha diversity of sT2D versus HC gut communities and identified BMI as a driver of gut community structure. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) identified a significant decrease in the relative abundance of the short-chain fatty acid-producing taxa Lachnospiraceae, Faecalibacterium, and Alistipes and an increase in pathobionts Escherichia-Shigella, Enterobacter, and Clostridia innocuum among sT2D gut microbiota, as well as differentially abundant gene and metabolic pathways. These results suggest characterization of the gut microbiome of individuals with T2D could identify key actors among “disease state” microbiota which may increase risk for or accelerate the onset of neurodegeneration. Furthermore, they identify candidate microbiome-targeted approaches for prevention and treatment of neuroinflammation in AD.","PeriodicalId":501419,"journal":{"name":"medRxiv - Endocrinology","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140198151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total-contact casts are widely used as the most effective external technique for off-loading plantar ulcers.

Methods 36 patients with diabetic foot ulcers were divided into two groups using computer generated randomization into PRP and NS groups with 18 patients in each group. The PRP group was given autologous PRP, and the NS group was given wet dressing with NS, following which TCC was applied in each case for off-loading.

One of the challenges in optimising diabetes care is translating research advances in this heterogenous disease into routine clinical care. A potential solution is the introduction of precision medicine approaches into diabetes care. We aim to develop a digital platform called intelligent Diabetes (iDiabetes) to support a precision diabetes care model in Scotland and assess its impact on the primary composite outcome of all-cause mortality, hospitalisation rate, renal function decline and glycaemic control. Methods and Analysis The impact of iDiabetes will be evaluated through a cluster-randomised controlled study, recruiting up to 22,500 patients with diabetes. Primary care general practices (GP) in the National Health Service Scotland Tayside Health Board are the units (clusters) of randomisation. Each primary care GP will form one cluster (approximately 400 patients per cluster), with up to 60 clusters recruited. Randomisation will be to iDiabetes (guideline support), iDiabetesPlus or usual diabetes care (control arm). Patients of participating primary care GPs are automatically enrolled to the study when they attend for their annual diabetes screening or are newly diagnosed with diabetes. A composite hierarchical primary outcome, evaluated using Win-Ratio statistical methodology, will consists of (I) all-cause mortality, (II) all-cause hospitalisation rate, (III) proportion with >40% eGFR reduction from baseline or new development of end-stage renal disease, (IV) proportion with absolute HbA1C reduction >0.5%. Comprehensive qualitative and health economic analyses will be conducted, assessing the cost-effectiveness, budget impact and user acceptability of the iDiabetes platform. Ethics and Dissemination This study was reviewed by the NHS HRA and given a favourable opinion by a Research Ethics Committee (reference:23/ES/0008). Study findings will be disseminated via publications and presented at scientific conferences. Findings will be shared with patients and the public on the study website and social media.

Patients and Methods: Observational, retrospective, single-center study of patients with acromegaly followed at a tertiary center. Data from medical records were evaluated regarding age, symptoms, presence of arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypopituitarism, size of the initial lesion, invasiveness (cavernous sinus invasion), T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging signal intensity, GH and insulin-like growth factor type 1 (IGF-1) levels, treatment performed [surgery, use of somatostatin receptor ligands (SRL), pegvisomant, cabergoline and bromocriptine and radiotherapy] and response to surgical or adjuvant treatment (normal levels of GH and/or IGF-1 after each treatment instituted).Patients were divided into groups according to the size of the adenoma at diagnosis (group I = smaller than 10 mm, II = 10-19 mm, III = 20-29 mm, IV = 30-39 mm and V = greater than 40 mm), and comparisons were made between the 5 groups and two-by-two comparisons. Results: 117 patients were studied (59 women, age at diagnosis 43 SD 13 years). Group I consisted of 11 patients (9%), group II of 54 (46%), group III of 34 (29%), group IV of 10 (9%) and group V of 8 patients (7%). The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hypopituitarism were 49%, 25% and 28%, respectively.

Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that microadenomas and macroadenomas smaller than 20 mm are associated with lower morbidity and better therapeutic response in acromegaly.
