TL;DR: Analysis of original publications published between 1990 and 2005 on the topics of medication errors and/or adverse drug events in hospitalised patients, focusing on the frequency of, risk factors for and avoidance of such problems associated with pharmacotherapy, indicated that medication errors occurred in a mean of 5.7% of all episodes of drug administration, but with a high variability among the 35 studies retrieved.

TL;DR: Attempts to improve glycemic control reduce the incidence of macrovascular events both in type 1 and type 2 DM, in absolute terms, although effects on specific manifestations of macroVascular disease differ.

TL;DR: A decreased risk of breast cancer was observed in female patients with type 2 diabetes using metformin on a long-term basis, and neither short-term met formin use nor use of sulfonylureas or other antidiabetes drugs was associated with a materially altered risk for breast cancer.

TL;DR: Lactic acidosis during current use of oral antidiabetes drugs was very rare and was associated with concurrent comorbidity.

TL;DR: Fulminant liver failure developed after the ingestion of food contaminated with the B. cereus emetic toxin, indicating that it caused liver failure in this patient.
