Nearly half of individuals with a newly diagnosed type 1 (T1D) or type 2 diabetes (T2D) suffer from gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, according to a study presented at EASD 2023. These GI adverse events that are associated with glucose-lowering medications occur more frequently among those with already existing GI symptoms prior to treatment initiation.

In an analysis of over a million individuals in England, women aged <50 years had a markedly lower HbA1c distribution than men, suggesting that the application of the current HbA1c reference range may lead to underdiagnosis of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in premenopausal women.

Early antihypertensive treatment appears to have no significant benefits in terms of dependency or death at 90 days among patients with mild-to-moderate acute ischaemic stroke and systolic blood pressure (SBP) between 140 and <220 mm Hg, reports a study.

In the phase III ARCADIA 1 and 2 trials, the investigational, first-in-class interleukin-31-Rα antagonist nemolizumab delivered early, rapid, and sustained improvements in the core signs and symptoms of atopic dermatitis (AD) in patients with moderate-to-severe disease.

In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), use of systemic glucocorticoids (GC) is associated with a time- and dose-dependent increase in risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), a population-based real-world study has shown. On long-term follow-up, a prednisolone dose of ≥5 mg/day is associated with a doubled risk of MACE vs no GC use, and no safe duration of use is found for this daily GC dose.
