BACKGROUND: Although curative resection with vascular reconstruction improves the prognosis of blood-invading locally advanced hepatobiliary tumors, the mortality and morbidity of the procedure remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify the risk factors associated with mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing liver resection with vascular reconstruction. METHODS: This retrospective observational study included 1215 patients undergoing hepatectomy of more than one section with vascular reconstruction, except for left lateral sectionectomy registered in the National Clinical Database (NCD) between 2015 and 2019...

Semaglutide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, has demonstrated clinically important weight loss effects in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, its effects on sustained weight loss among individuals without diabetes remains unclear. Our objective was to examine the long-term efficacy and safety of semaglutide use for weight loss among individuals with overweight/obesity and without diabetes. MEDLINE, Embase, and the Cochrane Libraries were systematically searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that randomized participants with overweight/obesity but without diabetes to once-weekly 2...

BACKGROUND: Interplay between lifestyle (LRS) and genetic risk scores (GRS) on obesity and related chronic diseases are under-investigated and necessary for understanding obesity causes and developing prevention strategies. OBJECTIVES: To investigate independent and joint associations and interactions of LRS and GRS with obesity prevalence and risks of diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and obesity-related cancer. METHODS: In this cohort study of 444,957 UK Biobank participants (age: 56...

BACKGROUND: Dietary choices can affect human health through alterations in gut microbial metabolism, and gut microbial metabolites could serve as biomarkers for disease risk conferred by dietary intake. However, self-reported dietary intake may not reflect true intake. OBJECTIVE: We identified circulating metabolites, including gut microbiome-related metabolites, associated with adherence to a healthy diet in the ChooseWell 365 study. In this randomized clinical trial, the dietary choices of hospital employees were assessed over 24 months using not only 24-hour dietary recalls, but also electronic records of hospital cafeteria purchases...

INTRODUCTION: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment has high failure rates even after two-stage revision. Risk factors for treatment failure after staged revision for PJI are not well defined, nor is it well established how they correlate with the risks of developing an index PJI. Identifying modifiable risk factors may allow preoperative optimization, while identifying non-modifiable risk factors can influence surgical options or advise against further surgery. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to better define predictors of treatment failure in two-stage revision for PJI...

The pathophysiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) comprises clinical and genetic factors. In fact, GDM is associated with several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This study aimed to build a prediction model of GDM combining clinical and genetic risk factors. A total of 1588 pregnant women from the San Carlos Cohort participated in the present study, including 1069 (67.3%) Caucasian (CAU) and 519 (32.7%) Latin American (LAT) individuals, and 255 (16.1%) had GDM. The incidence of GDM was similar in both groups (16...

BACKGROUND: American Indian and Alaska Native people (AI/AN) bear a disproportionate burden of diabetes. Growing evidence shows significant associations between several acute diabetes complications and dementia among diabetes patients. However, little is known about these relationships among AI/AN adults. Here, we aim to investigate these associations among AI/AN adults. METHODS: This cross-sectional study extracted data from the Indian Health Service's (IHS) National Data Warehouse and related administrative databases...

As a major mental health disorder, symptoms of schizophrenia (SCZ) include delusions, reduced motivation, hallucinations, reduced motivation and a variety of cognitive disabilities. Many of these symptoms are now known to be associated with abnormal regulation of the immune system. Low blood levels of cytokines and chemokines have been suggested to be one of the underlying causes of SCZ. However, their biological roles at different stages of SCZ remain unclear. Our objective was to investigate expression patterns of cytokines and chemokines at different stages of onset and relapse in SCZ patients and to conduct an analysis of their relationship to disease progression...

BACKGROUND: Lower extremity amputation continues to be necessary in a significant number of patients with peripheral vascular disease. The 5 year survival following lower limb loss is markedly reduced. Many of these patients are never fitted with a prosthesis and there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the barriers to prosthetic attainment. The goal of this study was to identify the risk factors for not receiving a prosthesis and the effect of mobility level on survival following major amputation...

BACKGROUND: Sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are effective in adults with diabetes mellitus (DM) and heart failure (HF) based on randomized clinical trials. We compared SGLT2i uptake and outcomes in two cohorts: a population-based cohort of all adults with DM and HF in Alberta, Canada and a specialized heart failure clinic (HFC) cohort. METHODS: The population-based cohort was derived from linked provincial healthcare datasets. The specialized clinic cohort was created by chart review of consecutive patients prospectively enrolled in the HFC between February 2018 and August 2022...

PURPOSE: This is a retrospective cohort study designed to evaluate the impact of having a prior coronavirus disease 2019 COVID-19 infection on cardiac rehabilitation (CR) completion rates and outcomes. METHODS: Participants enrolled into the CR program from June 1, 2020 to March 30, 2022. They completed both physical and mental health assessments prior to enrollment and upon completion of the program. The cohort was divided into (-) COVID and (+) COVID based on whether they self-reported a prior COVID-19 infection...

Randomized trials and large retrospective database studies have shown that individuals treated with noninsulin therapies experience the same glycemic benefits from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) use as those treated with more intensive treatment regimens. However, many policy makers and payers are reluctant to provide CGM coverage for these patients. Although the recent American Diabetes Association guidelines have taken an important first step in recommending that CGM should be offered to all adults treated with basal insulin who are capable of using it, clinicians should consider the acute and long-term consequences of persistent hyperglycemia in all of their patients with diabetes...

PURPOSE: This study investigates the association between insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes and 30-day postoperative complications following aseptic revision total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). METHODS: The American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for all patients who underwent aseptic revision TSA from 2015 to 2021. The study population was divided into three groups based on diabetic status: nondiabetes, insulin-dependent diabetes, and non-insulin-dependent diabetes...

Diabetes technology continues to evolve, advancing with our understanding of human biology and improving our ability to treat people with diabetes. Diabetes devices are broadly classified into the following categories: glucose sensors, insulin delivery devices, and digital health care technology (i.e., software and mobile applications). When supported by education and individually tailored, technology can play a key role in optimizing outcomes. Digital devices assist in diabetes management by tracking meals, exercise, sleep, and glycemic measurements in real time, all of which can guide physicians and other clinicians in their decision-making...
