TL;DR: Structured exercise training that consists of aerobic exercise, resistance training, or both combined is associated with HbA(1c) reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes.

TL;DR: US features in isolation do not provide reliable information to select nodules that should have a FNA performed, and a combination of US characteristics with higher likelihood ratios and consequently with higher post-test probabilities of malignancy—microcalcifications, or a taller than wide shape, or irregular margins, or absence of elasticity—will probably identify nodules with an increased risk for malignancies.

TL;DR: Obese patients have increased risk for delayed graft function and death by CVD, and for the obese transplanted patient today, the graft and patient survival is the same as that of the nonobese patient.

TL;DR: There is no clear difference in benefit between drug classes when adding a third agent to treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes who are already receiving metformin and a sulfonylurea.

TL;DR: In conclusion, topiramate might be a useful adjunctive therapeutic tool in the treatment of obesity as long as proper warnings about side effects are considered.
