In response to the increasing prevalence of obesity, the consumption of high-calorie and high-sugar foods and an unprecedented aging population, type 2 diabetes (T2D) continues to rise globally. The International Diabetes Federation reported that 589 million individuals aged 20 to 79 years had ...
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and GLP-1RA-based therapies are currently considered to be one of the most attractive classes of medications for managing type 2 diabetes (T2D) because of their impressive weight loss properties, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) ...
Urinary lithogenesis processes are activated in patients with obesity, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and type 2 diabetes (T2D). This is a relatively unfamiliar topic among endocrinologists. Beyond the epidemiological evidence accumulated over the recent years, the purpose of this paper is ...
The past century has witnessed substantial evolution in the assessment and management of type 1 diabetes (T1D), paralleling advances in our understanding of the condition and in innovation in technology. Since the ground-breaking discovery of insulin in the 1920s, T1...
Welcome to the latest edition of touchREVIEWS in Endocrinology, which features a diverse selection of editorials, reviews and original research articles that highlight both the progress and the ongoing challenges in translating pathophysiological insight into patient-centred care. We begin with ...
This Q&A with Dr Paul Brennan offers a practical guide to the diagnosis and management of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Covering key risk factors, non-invasive diagnostic tools, lifestyle strategies, and emerging therapies, it provides clinicians with clear approaches to early detection and comprehensive patient care.
In this Future Leader Q&A, Dr Sourabh Sharma, nephrologist and transplant physician, discusses the transformative role of mentorship, advances in transplantation and diabetic kidney disease, and his vision for equitable, patient-centred renal care.
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex, multisystemic condition characterized by reproductive, metabolic and dermatologic manifestations, including hyperandrogenism and ovulatory dysfunction. Despite its prevalence and significant impact on quality of life, PCOS remains underdiagnosed and poorly managed due to its ...
Article highlights There is growing clinical importance attributed to the development of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Numerous international groups now advocate screening for advanced fibrosis in people with risk factors, such as ...
Article Highlights Early use of sodium–glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors following myocardial infarction was associated with the following factors: Lower hospitalization for heart failure (odds ratio [OR]: 0.75; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.62–0.90; p=0.002). Similar cardiovascular deaths (OR: 1.04; 95% CI: 0.83–1.30; p=0.76). Similar all-cause mortality (OR: 1.00; 95% ...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrinopathy affecting women of reproductive age and is characterized by hyperandrogenism, anovulation and insulin resistance (IR).1Â Women with PCOS have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), dyslipidaemia, hypertension and ...
Dry eye disease (DED) is known as dry eye syndrome (DES) or keratoconjunctivitis sicca. According to the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society’s Dry Eye Workshop II (TFOS DEWS II), it constitutes a multifactorial disease of the ocular surface, ...
touchENDOCRINOLOGY was delighted to speak with Editorial Board member Dr Deep Dutta, a senior endocrinologist at the CEDAR Superspecialty Clinics, New Delhi, India. Throughout this interview, he summarizes the key messages from his late-breaking abstract session ‘Ailing Heart, Broken Vessels’, presented at the 60th European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) annual meeting in Madrid, Spain.
Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) is a ubiquitous, multifunctional, 766-amino acid, type 2 transmembrane glycoprotein, which participates in the regulation of metabolic functions, immune and inflammatory responses, cancer growth and cell adhesion.1Â It has two forms: the first is a membrane-bound form, which ...
Tirzepatide is a first-in-class novel dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP)/glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (twincretin), formulated as a synthetic peptide containing 39 amino acids based on the native GIP.1Â Tirzepatide has a GIP receptor-binding affinity comparable with native GIP and ...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) continues to pose an ever-greater global health challenge, with 1.31 billion individuals predicted to be living with diabetes globally by 2050; the majority of whom will have T2D.1Â Closely linked to T2D is metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic ...
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is one of the most common chronic noncommunicable diseases, its incidence is exponentially increasing and is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide.1Â As of 2021, T2D ranked among the top causes of ...
The incidence of diabetes has increased in recent years, and advances in technology have allowed for multiple ways to predict the outcomes of patients with diabetes, and have improved quality of life and lowered morbidity and mortality.1Â For decades, glycated ...
