Summary: This is a novel case of a 16-month-old boy with a rare combination of prematurity, intrauterine growth restriction, microcephaly, pachygyria, agenesis of the corpus callosum, postnatal embolic stroke, new-onset diabetes mellitus with diabetic ketoacidosis, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection, and atypical hemolytic syndrome (aHUS). The patient showed remarkable insulin resistance before aHUS diagnosis, which improved after eculizumab therapy, suggesting a potential connection between COVID-19 and complement-mediated microangiopathic thrombotic disease. Whole-exome sequencing did not reveal a clear etiology for aHUS, indicating that this could be a case of COVID-19-triggered aHUS rather than an idiopathic one unmasked by the infection.

Summary: Diabetes is a global concern affecting a significant proportion of adults, and nut consumption has been associated with positive health outcomes. There is evidence suggesting that nut consumption may play a role in preventing and managing type 2 diabetes, although more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of zinc supplementation on oxidative status and glycaemic parameters in overweight patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The results showed that zinc supplementation for 8 weeks significantly improved the oxidative balance and controlled the glycaemic indices in these patients.

Summary: Organ transplantation is an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure, but post transplantation diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a severe complication that affects the survival of recipients. However, PTDM is often overlooked or poorly managed in its early stage. This article provides an overview of the incidence, pathogenesis, and risk factors for PTDM, aiming to improve the quality of life of recipients.

Summary: Adipose tissues, particularly brown and white adipose tissues, play key roles in communication and insulin sensitivity in the development and treatment of type 2 diabetes. Adipocytokines produced by adipose tissues, like leptin and adiponectin, vary in conditions such as metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, and inflammation. The regulation of satiety, energy metabolism, and insulin release by adipose tissues indicates their significance in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus and its complications.

Summary: The study suggests a relationship between the TyG index and the risk of end-stage renal disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. An elevated TyG index is associated with an increased risk of ESRD, indicating the clinical importance of the TyG index in evaluating renal function decline in these patients.

Summary: Exosomes are small vesicles secreted by cells and can carry various cargo including RNA, DNA, proteins, and metabolites. Studies have shown that exosomal microRNAs play a crucial role in the progression of diseases such as diabetes mellitus, affecting processes like pancreatic beta-cell injury and insulin resistance. Understanding the mechanisms of exosomal miRNAs in diabetes mellitus can provide valuable insights for identifying diagnostic biomarkers and drug targets.

Summary: This study explores the association between whole mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variants and diabetes and diabetic kidney disease (DKD). The findings suggest that mtDNA variants are related to obesity, insulin levels, and the prevalence of DKD in patients with diabetes. These findings have important implications for personalized therapy and our understanding of mitochondrial diabetes.

Summary: This study examined the association between changes in physical capability and the risk of diabetes and glycemic control in older adults. The findings suggest that changes in physical capability were not associated with a reduced risk of diabetes but may improve insulin resistance.

Summary: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have a higher risk of Helicobacter pylori eradication failure, which is associated with BMI and glycemic control. Eradication of H. pylori can improve glycemic control in patients with T2DM.

Summary: This study aims to identify determinants of poor glycemic control among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients at a diabetes mellitus clinic in University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted, and a total of 90 cases and 90 controls with type 2 diabetes were recruited. The results showed that age less than 65 years, inadequate physical exercise, presence of comorbidities, non-adherence to anti-diabetes medications, persistent proteinuria, and high-density lipoprotein less than 40 mg/dl were the determinants of poor glycemic control. Therefore, targeted educational and behavioral modification programs should be practiced to improve glycemic control.

Summary: In this study, the changes in glucose metabolism after kidney transplantation were investigated. It was found that some patients with pre-transplant diabetes experienced diabetes remission one year after transplantation. The newly diagnosed diabetes before transplantation and baseline insulinogenic index (IGI(30)) were associated with diabetes remission.

Summary: Gestational diabetes mellitus is the most common medical complication in pregnancy, affecting approximately 15% of pregnancies worldwide. It increases the risk of complications and may lead to the development of type 2 diabetes in both the mother and infant. The increasing incidence of GDM also poses a significant economic burden.

Public health efforts to reduce the burden of kidney cancer should consider groundwater constituents as environmental exposures that may be associated with the incidence of kidney cancer.

Summary: Background: Kidney stone disease is common and can lead to complications in kidney transplant recipients. This study found that approximately 2% of kidney transplant recipients were diagnosed with a kidney stone in the first 3 years after transplantation. Risk factors for kidney stone events included a history of kidney stones and longer dialysis vintage.

Summary: Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with high morbidity and mortality. Galectin-3 (Gal3), a protein with proinflammatory and profibrotic properties, has been implicated in the development and progression of both AKI and CKD. Elevated Gal3 levels in the serum of AKI and CKD patients and its association with CKD progression have been observed. Gal3 is also associated with AKI incidence in critically ill patients, and blocking Gal3 has shown promising results in reducing AKI incidence and mortality in animal models.

Summary: The widespread use of at-home COVID-19 tests affects the determination of community COVID-19 incidence. A study found that wastewater metrics were associated with high case and hospitalization rates in the first quarter of 2022, but the association weakened in subsequent quarters, possibly due to underreporting, reduced testing, and the effect of vaccines and treatments. This study suggests using wastewater metrics to improve the assessment of community infection prevalence when conventional surveillance data is unreliable.
