DPP-4–to–SGLT2 inhibitor switch confers multiple benefits for patients with diabetes, hypertension
In the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, switching from a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor to the sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitor luseogliflozin appears to have favourable effects on blood pressure (BP), circadian rhythm, and night-time systolic BP (SBP) and pulse rate (PR), according to data from the open-label LUNA trial.

Aggressive hydration averts contrast-induced AKI in STEMI patients undergoing PCI
Perioperative aggressive hydration appears to be better than general hydration at preventing contrast-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) among patients with myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a study has found.
