TL;DR: An intervention involving nurses who provided guideline-based, patient-centered management of depression and chronic disease significantly improved control of medical disease and depression.

TL;DR: In this article, an intervention involving nurses who provided guideline-based, patient-centered management of depression and chronic disease significantly improved control of medical disease and depression, and patients in the intervention group were more likely to have one or more adjustments of insulin (P = 0.006), antihypertensive medications (P<0.001), and antidepressants (P < 0.001).

TL;DR: Elevated serum phosphate levels were independently associated with increased mortality risk among this population of patients with chronic kidney disease and were associated with a significantly increased risk for death.

TL;DR: In a primary care population, diabetes self-care was suboptimal across a continuum from home-based activities, such as healthy eating, exercise, and medication adherence, to use of preventive care.

TL;DR: Among patients with diabetes, both minor and major depression are strongly associated with increased mortality, and both major and minor depression remained significant predictors of mortality.
