TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effectiveness and safety of switching the basal insulin (BI) in a BI-supported oral therapy (BOT) to insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) in adults with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Abstract: AIMS This study evaluated the effectiveness and safety of switching the basal insulin (BI) in a BI-supported oral therapy (BOT) to insulin glargine 300 U/ml (Gla-300) in adults with inadequately controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a non-interventional, multicentre, prospective 12-month study, conducted in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The study documented people with T2D with glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) between 7.5% and 10.0%, currently treated by a non-Gla-300 BOT regimen, after the physician had decided to switch the BI to Gla-300. Primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving the fasting plasma glucose (FPG; ≤110 mg/dl) target. RESULTS In total, 1194 participants comprised the full analysis set, of which 793 completed documentation of 12 months Gla-300 treatment (FAS-M12). The main previous BI was insulin glargine 100 U/ml (Gla-100; 47.2%). Twelve months after switching to Gla-300, 27.0% of FAS-M12 participants achieved the FPG target and 44.8% their individualized HbA1c target. The greatest FPG target achievements were seen in previous Gla-100 (29.3%), and greatest HbA1c target achievements in previous insulin detemir users (57.7%). The mean FPG decreased by -36.3 ± 51.2 mg/dl to 135.5 ± 36.9 mg/dl and mean HbA1c by -0.79 ± 1.01% to 7.45 ± 0.94%. Symptomatic and nocturnal hypoglycaemia incidence significantly decreased over 12 months of Gla-300 treatment. Body weight remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS Switching the BI to Gla-300 in a BOT regimen improved metabolic control and treatment satisfaction in a substantial proportion of patients with T2D and inadequate target achievement within 12 months in clinical practice with a decreased risk of symptomatic and nocturnal hypoglycaemia and without weight gain.

TL;DR: Prenatal SLE exposure was not associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of cryptorchidism in male offspring, and the first-time report on the possible relationships between exposure to early and late pregnancy SLEs and risk of cryptography in a birth cohort is reported.
Abstract: Cryptorchidism, registered at birth or later, is the most common birth defect in males in western countries, estimated to affect around 2-3% of newborn boys, declining to around 2% at 3 months. We have previously described a potential association between stressful life events (SLEs) in pregnancy and reduced semen quality and testosterone levels in adult offspring. Both outcomes are believed to share a common etiology with cryptorchidism thus increased risk of cryptorchidism in boys exposed to prenatal SLEs may be plausible. The risk of cryptorchidism associated with prenatal SLE amongst 1,273 male Generation 2 offspring was estimated using the Western Australian Pregnancy (Raine) Study. SLEs are discrete experiences that disrupt an individual's usual activities causing a life change and readjustment, such as death of a relative or friend, divorce, illness or job loss. Mothers prospectively reported SLEs, during pregnancy at gestational weeks (GW) 18 and 34 using a standardized 10-point questionnaire. A boy was diagnosed as cryptorchid if one or both testes was non-palpable in the scrotum and not able to be manipulated into the scrotum. Twenty-four (2%) cryptorchid boys were identified. Mean (standard deviation) of SLE exposures in GW34 was 1.1 (1.2) for non-cryptorchid boys and slightly higher 1.5 (1.8) for cryptorchid boys, similar differences were observed in GW18. Adjusted odds ratio [OR] and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for risk of cryptorchidism in early (18-weeks) and late gestation (34-weeks) according to prenatal SLE exposures were: 1.06 (95% CI: 0.77-1.45) and 1.18 (95% CI: 0.84-1.67), respectively. This is the first-time report on the possible relationships between exposure to early and late pregnancy SLEs and risk of cryptorchidism in a birth cohort. Prenatal SLE exposure was not associated with a statistically significant increase in the risk of cryptorchidism in male offspring. A small case population limits the statistical power of the study and future larger studies are required to evaluate this potential association.

TL;DR: An 81-year-old woman presented with multiple episodes of loose bowel movements and CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and asymptomatic emphysematous cystitis.
Abstract: An 81-year-old woman presented with multiple episodes of loose bowel movements. CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis revealed pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis and asymptomatic emphysematous cystitis. The patient had an extensive workup with no obvious identified pathology to explain diffuse pneumatosis of the small bowel and bladder. Her symptoms improved with symptomatic management, empirical antibiotics, and no surgical intervention.
