Summary: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of four isocaloric meals with different macronutrient compositions on postprandial blood glucose, lipids, and glucagon in adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The low-carbohydrate high-protein (HP) meal showed the most favorable glycemic and metabolic effects during a 4 h postprandial period in subjects with T1D.

Summary: A study was conducted on patients with type 2 diabetes to investigate the effects of allulose consumption for 12 weeks. The results showed that allulose had no significant impact on glucose homeostasis, incretin levels, or body composition, but it did increase MCP-1 levels and decrease HDL-C levels.

Summary: The study demonstrates that adding either an SGLT2 inhibitor or TZD could be a valid option as a fourth oral antidiabetic drug for patients with type 2 diabetes inadequately controlled with conventional triple therapy. Both treatment options led to significant reductions in HbA1c levels and exhibited favorable safety profiles.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the cardiovascular protection and safety of glucose-lowering therapies (GLTs). The results showed that glucagonlike peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs), sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT-2is), and thiazolidinedione therapy can reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). GLP-1 RAs had favorable cardiovascular and renal outcomes, SGLT-2is had significant effects on renal outcomes, and thiazolidinedione therapy increased the risk of heart failure and had no benefits on mortality.

Summary: Depression and antidepressant medications increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Cambodian-Americans have high rates of both depression and diabetes. This study focuses on a diabetes prevention trial for Cambodian-Americans with depression, where different interventions were used with positive outcomes in reducing HbA1c, depressive symptoms, and inflammation/stress hormones. The findings suggest that cardiometabolic and mental health can be improved simultaneously in immigrant and refugee groups.

Summary: Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of viral infections, especially in cases of poor glycemic control. Patients with diabetes who are acutely unwell with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 face complex management and therapy. Antidiabetic agents play a crucial role in DM patients with coronavirus infection, guiding clinical therapeutic choices.

Summary: This study examined the effect of aerobic exercise intervention on inflammatory markers in individuals with schizophrenia. The results showed that high-intensity interval training and active video gaming for 12 weeks had no reducing effect on inflammatory markers, but patients with high baseline IL-6 levels had a positive change in cardiorespiratory fitness during the intervention.

Summary: This study investigated the potential effects of aerobic exercise on interleukin-6 (IL6), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and C-reactive protein (CRP) in polycystic ovarian women (PCOS). The results showed that aerobic exercise significantly reduced IL-6, TNF-alpha, and CRP levels, with greater effects when combined with metformin treatment. This suggests that aerobic exercise may be an effective method to improve inflammation associated with PCOS.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the benefits of dietary restriction in patients with metabolic syndrome and determine whether it is the calorie or protein restriction that mediates the effects. The findings showed that isocaloric dietary protein restriction can achieve similar clinical outcomes as calorie restriction, making it a more attractive and less drastic dietary strategy for patients with metabolic syndrome and has potential as an adjuvant therapy.

Summary: This study aimed to validate the psychometric properties of WHOQOL-Bref/Libras, a tool for assessing the quality of life of deaf people who use Libras. The results showed satisfactory values for reliability, discriminant and construct validity, temporal stability, and internal consistency, suggesting that WHOQOL-Bref/Libras is a valid option for quality of life investigations among the deaf community.

Summary: This study evaluated the association between diet quality, assessed by the Diet Quality Index for Adolescents adapted for Brazilians (DQIA-BR), and cardiometabolic markers in Brazilian adolescents. The results showed that the effects of diet quality on cardiometabolic risk factors differ according to sex and the presence of overweight/obesity. Overall, DQIA-BR is a suitable tool to evaluate the association between diet quality and cardiometabolic markers in normal-weight adolescents, but not for adolescents, especially girls, with overweight/obesity.

Summary: This study evaluates optimal strategies for Covid-19 vaccination in Brazil in 2021, focusing on the Gamma variant dominance, to support decision-makers in formulating immunization policy. The results indicate that a vaccine coverage of at least 80% should be achieved in older age groups before expanding vaccination to younger groups. Additionally, when adjusting the dose interval, an increase of at least 50% in vaccine supply over the next six months is required.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of different doses of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT). Higher doses of ATG reduced the incidence of severe acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and limited chronic GvHD but increased the risk of Epstein-Barr virus and Cytomegalovirus reactivation. Relapse rates were higher in the higher dose group. A dose lower than 7 mg/kg suggested a better risk-benefit ratio. Well-designed randomized controlled trials are needed to define the optimal doses. Rating: 8/10

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness of an educational intervention using the Dietary Sodium Restriction Questionnaire (DSRQ) scores. The results showed that the DSRQ-based educational intervention improved the ability of hypertensive patients to adhere to a low-sodium restriction diet, but it was not significantly more effective than dietary recommendations in reducing sodium intake.
