TL;DR: Clinical utility of MPseq is demonstrated, particularly for characterizing novel gene fusion events which may ultimately identify a false-positive FISH result.

TL;DR: The glycemic benefits of glargine use compared with alternative therapeutic options are maintained without excess hypoglycemia in patients with CVRFs, as well as with intensification of OADs or lifestyle modifications, overall, and in Patients with any CVRF.
Abstract: Background: Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) may complicate optimization of therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) inadequately controlled with oral antidiabetes drugs (OADs). We assessed the influence of patient baseline CVRFs on efficacy and rate of hypoglycemia with use of insulin glargine (glargine) added to ongoing OAD treatment compared with alternative therapeutic options; namely, intensification of lifestyle interventions or adding OADs, neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH), lispro, or premixed insulin in patients failing OADs. Methods: Patient-level data were pooled from 9 randomized controlled trials of glargine and comparators for 24 weeks in insulin-naive patients with T2DM inadequately controlled on OADs. Efficacy (goal attainment—glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level ≤ 7.0% or decrease ≥ 1.0% change from baseline) and hypoglycemia rates (symptomatic, confirmed, nocturnal, or severe) were compared for patients treated with glargine (n = 1462) and pooled (n = 1476) and ind...

TL;DR: In the past several years, there has been a paradigm shift in acute stroke care driven by a series of randomized controlled trials demonstrating that timely reperfusion with mechanical thrombectomy results in superior outcomes compared with intravenous thrombolysis in patients with large vessel.

TL;DR: When adequate glycemic control is not achieved using OADs in patients with T2DM, initiating insulin glargine is generally less likely to elicit hypoglycemia than initiating NPH, premixed, or prandial insulins, and the benefit–risk balance supports initiating insulin rather than intensification of OAD therapy.
Abstract: Purpose: Optimizing glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) not controlled with ≥ 1 oral antidiabetes drugs (OADs) is challenging. Many therapeutic options exist; however, data comparing the effectiveness of different strategies are lacking for the management of patients with T2DM. Our study aim was to provide comparative data on efficacy and hypoglycemia when initiating insulin glargine (glargine) versus alternative treatment options (not including the newest antidiabetes agents, glucagon-like peptide [GLP]-1 receptor agonists, dipeptidyl peptidase [DPP]-4 inhibitors or sodium-glucose linked transporter [SGLT]-2 inhibitors) in insulin-naive patients with T2DM who remained uncontrolled with OADs. Methods: Patient-level data were pooled from 9 randomized controlled trials of ≥ 24 weeks duration with comparable patient populations. The effect of adding glargine was compared with intensification of lifestyle interventions or OADs, addition of neutral protamine Hagedorn (NPH)...

TL;DR: Moderate or mild hypothermia is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in North America for individuals below the age of 45 and is classified as a reduction in core temperature to 32–34 degrees C.
