This Indian study demonstrated telmisartan to be efficacious and tolerable for BP control in Indian hypertension patients when used as monotherapy or in combination therapy. The benefits of telmisartan were independent of age, duration, and stages of hypertension.

A recent analysis of data from 1226 adults suggested a potential link between the Triglyceride-Glucose (TyG) index and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Results indicated a U-shaped relationship, suggesting that both low and high TyG levels negatively impacted hearing thresholds, particularly in high frequencies. Maintaining a balanced TyG index may be linked to better speech and high-frequency hearing thresholds.

A study evaluated the impact of initiating SGLT2 inhibitors vs. DPP-4 inhibitors in type 2 diabetes patients following PCI. SGLT2 inhibitor initiation was associated with a significantly reduced risk of composite cardiovascular outcomes, including repeat revascularization, MI, stroke, heart failure, all-cause death & end-stage renal disease. Importantly, these effects persisted regardless of the timing of prior PCI.

- In T1DM patients, 8 metabolites had a significant link with diabetic retinopathy, diabetic kidney disease & distal symmetric polyneuropathy, & 6 of them increased the microvascular burden severity
- Higher levels of 3,4-dihydroxybutanoic acid (DHBA), 2,4-DHBA, ribonic acid, glycine, & ribitol were associated with microvascular events
- These metabolites may improve risk assessment for diabetes complications

- Wearing gloves reduced the risk for overall adverse events related to insertion compared to no gloves (aRR: 0.52)
- Catheter removal based on defined schedules resulted in a lower phlebitis/thrombophlebitis incidence (RR: 0.74) compared to clinically indicated removal in adults
- In neonates, chlorhexidine reduced the phlebitis score compared to non-chlorhexidine-containing disinfection (0.14 vs. 0.68, p = 0.003)
