Emphysematous gastritis with portal venous gas: conservative management in a high-risk patient - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41768333/
Emphysematous gastritis is a rare, often fatal condition characterized by gas within the gastric wall, usually in patients with significant comorbidities. We describe a 75-year-old man with incomplete tetraparesis, chronic...
Case report describes emphysematous gastritis with portal venous gas in a high-risk patient, successfully managed conservatively with antibiotics and supportive care, highlighting diagnostic challenges and feasibility of nonoperative treatment.
Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of Finerenone in diabetic kidney disease - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41578591/
Results of meta-analysis showed that Finerenone could significantly reduce urine albumin creatine ratio levels. It has a protective effect on kidney, delaying the progression of chronic kidney disease and reducing...
This meta-analysis of seven RCTs (33,455 patients) found finerenone significantly reduced albuminuria and kidney disease progression in diabetic kidney disease, with similar overall adverse events but increased hyperkalemia risk.
Clinical Improvements From Telemedicine Interventions for Managing Type 2 Diabetes Compared With Usual Care: Systematic Review, Meta-Analysis, and Meta-Regression - PubMed

PROSPERO CRD42024608130; https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?RecordID=608130.
Meta-analysis of 58 RCTs (13,942 participants) shows telemedicine significantly improves HbA1c, fasting glucose, weight, BMI, and blood pressure in type 2 diabetes versus usual care, with greatest benefits from clinician-led interventions.
Effects of an Intensive Discharge Intervention on Medication Adherence, Glycemic Control, and Readmission Rates in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31009408/
The intervention was associated with improvements in glycemic control, with nonsignificant trends toward greater medication adherence. Further research is needed to optimize and successfully implement interventions to improve patient safety...
In hospitalized type 2 diabetes patients, an intensive discharge intervention improved A1c reduction but showed only nonsignificant trends toward better insulin adherence, without reducing readmissions or hypoglycemic events.
Cardiorenal protective effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists in chronic kidney disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41644273/
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but existing evidence regarding their efficacy and safety remains inconsistent. To evaluate the cardiorenal...
Meta-analysis shows GLP-1 receptor agonists reduce kidney and cardiovascular events, albuminuria, and mortality in CKD patients, mainly with diabetes, though gastrointestinal adverse effects remain common.
