Novel SGLT2 inhibitor cuts HbA1c, plasma glucose, body weight in type 2 diabetes

31 Oct 2021

Ertugliflozin, a novel sodium-glucose cotransporter inhibitor, helps reduce glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), body weight, and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in patients with type 2 diabetes, reports a recent meta-analysis.

Patients presenting with advanced-stage pancreatic cancer reveal cracks in imaging-based surveillance

31 Oct 2021

High-risk individuals who develop neoplastic progression to pancreatic cancer or high-grade dysplasia can present at an advanced stage despite showing no lesions during prior imaging surveillance evaluations, a new study has found.

BP monitoring at home gathers most “likes” vs other methods

30 Oct 2021 by

People who need to check their blood pressure (BP) regularly to confirm if they have hypertension prefer BP monitoring done at home rather than at a clinic, kiosk, or through a 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), suggest findings from the Blood Pressure Checks for Diagnosing Hypertension (BP-CHECK) trial presented at Hypertension 2021.

5-alpha reductase inhibitor exposure does not mar prostate cancer detection with MRI

30 Oct 2021

Long-term exposure to 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs) is not associated with impaired detection of significant cancer on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) but appears to influence the ability of apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) metrics to discriminate between lesions harbouring significant and benign cancers, reveals a study.

Plasma 1,25(OH)2D linked to big bellies in healthy, sedentary adults

30 Oct 2021

Plasma levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) are unrelated to insulin resistance or cardiometabolic risk among healthy sedentary adults, a recent study has found. However, 1,25(OH)2D may be an inverse predictor of central adiposity.
