Diabetes affects corneal endothelial cells in patients that are older, have suffered with the disease for at least a decade, and have high glycated hemoglobin (A1C).

According to a recent review, intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth (anti-VEGF) drugs were not associated with an increase in major cardiovascular events.

Patients with diabetes who have small kidney size at the beginning of peritoneal dialysis (PD) have a substantial risk of mortality.

After a more than 35-year pursuit, the licensing of a gene therapy product for treating hemophilia may be available within 2 years.

According to the report, direct medical costs represented less than half ($418 billion, or 43%) of overall annual costs.

Quality of life is similar between patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) undergoing hemodialysis and those having continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) in the hospital.

Black patients, female patients, and those of lower socioeconomic status are less likely to be prescribed sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors for type 2 diabetes (T2D).

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) appears to be less stressful to preterm infants than ocular indirect ophthalmoscopy (BIO) in assessing retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).

The authors said their work is an effort towards making more tailored therapy a reality.

Among patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and weight issues, cognitive advantages that women hold over men when both are affected are preserved into later life but are eroded for women carrying apolipoprotein E ε4 alleles.

Study results indicate a possible relationship between diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and frailty and risk of subsequent delirium and cognitive impairment.

Ilumya (tildrakizumab) was shown to be safe and effective in controlling moderate to severe psoriasis for adults through 5 years of treatment in a recent study.

Higher oxygen saturation targets are linked with greater progression in some cases of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), but the incidence remains stable.

A high proportion of Marshallese, or Marshall Islanders, living on the mainland Unites States, have undiagnosed hypertension and type 2 diabetes (T2D), according to findings that will be used to address disparities in Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander populations.

The risk for patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance developing multiple myeloma is double if they have a specific category of rheumatic diseases compared with those without the diseases.

The findings illustrate the importance of prioritizing COVID-19 vaccinations for patients on dialysis.

COVID-19 led many patients to change their use of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in the pandemic’s initial months, with or without physician guidance.

Polymerase chain reaction testing of suspected cases of adenoviral conjunctivitis in a hospital setting resulted in large cost savings by avoiding unnecessary employee furloughs.

A machine learning model using the gut microbiome may serve as a successful predictive measure for type 2 diabetes development.

More information will come from 4-year results, which will be critical to assess whether there is any long-term benefit to visual acuity using aflibercept.

Behçet disease (BD), a rare systemic inflammatory disease, is associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Classical mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and 2 aggressive variants exhibited similar rates of negativity for the CD5 marker, but further testing may be needed in certain cases to avoid misdiagnosis with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

In patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD), the presence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) indicates an increased risk of cancer.

Anemia, which occurs in over 50% of patients with end-stage kidney disease, should not be considered an obstacle to home dialysis, according to a new report.

A survey in France found that systemic medications are used by only half of dermatologists in treating atopic dermatitis, with methotrexate used more than cyclosporine.

Exposure to indoor formaldehyde can exacerbate atopic dermatitis (AD) symptoms in children with moderate to severe disease, especially in spring and summer and even at allowable levels.

There is no consistent evidence showing clear benefit of various nutritional factors on the risk of atopic dermatitis.

Machine learning models can help predict which children diagnosed with childhood asthma before age 5 will continue to experience symptoms as they get older.

More than two-thirds of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) survived at least 2 years but were highly susceptible to adverse events (AEs), in a recent study.

Improved understanding of the early mechanisms of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be the next step in efforts to delay or reverse disease progression.
