Background: Diabetes affects over 460 million people worldwide and represents a growing public health challenge driven largely by dietary lifestyle factors. While Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is more prevalent, 1 (T1D) presents unique therapeutic challenges, particularly in younger individuals. Advances management, such as continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), insulin pumps (IP), and, recently, smart multiple dose injection (MDI) pens, have significantly enhanced glycemic control improved patients’...

Introduction/Aim: Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) challenges glycemic control, with sleep dis-turbances affecting insulin sensitivity and glucose variability. This study aims to assess quality in T1D patients its impact on outcomes, particularly at bed-time. Methods: retrospective observational study, conducted an Italian clinical center, included using Medtronic devices. Sleep was assessed us-ing the version of Pittsburgh Quality Index (PSQI), out-comes were analyzed CGM data. Statistical comparisons...

Introduction/Aim: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) challenges glycemic control, with sleep disturbances affecting insulin sensitivity and glucose variability. This study aimed to observe quality in T1D patients outcomes, particularly at bedtime hours. Methods: retrospective observational study, conducted an Italian clinical center, included using Medtronic devices. Sleep was assessed the version of Pittsburgh Quality Index (PSQI), outcomes were analyzed CGM data. Descriptive statistics non-parametric...

Hyperuricemia is present in about 5% of the population, and allopurinol frequently used to treat it. The use this drug can be associated with a number side effects, indicating allergic reactions, such as skin rash, reversible after its withdrawal. In some cases more severe hypersensitivity reactions may seen, erythema multiforme exudativum, or Steven-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Reversible clinical hepatotoxicity, well acute renal failure, also develop therapy. We describe here case 74-year-old...

Background. Although several studies have reported that kidney stone disease and hypertension are associated, the link between two conditions has not been identified. This study investigated urinary excretion of different solutes, particularly citrate acids, in formers examined their association with high blood pressure.

Patients suffering from different forms of acute hepatic porphyria present a high risk primary liver cancer, specifically hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma, determined by the activity disease even though an exact mechanism carcinogenesis has not been recognized yet. Here, we clinical case 72-year-old woman who, approximately 29 years after diagnosis intermittent porphyria, presented with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma histological adenocarcinoma starting biliary-pancreatic...

Acute hepatic porphyrias (AHPs) are a family of rare, autosomal, dominantly inherited conditions characterized by abnormalities in the production heme. Advances molecular engineering have provided new therapeutic possibilities for modifying heme synthetic pathway patients with porphyria. In particular, RNA interference givosiran was approved treatment adults and adolescents AHP aged >12 years based on positive results phase III trial ENVISION. Despite extended characterization activity...

Background and Objectives: In Italy, as in the rest of world, government restrictions aimed at containing spread COVID-19 primarily imposed limitations on social relationships personal behavior. This situation significantly affected management chronic illnesses, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). The objective was to evaluate perceptions patients with T2D regarding quality care received during pandemic impact dietary physical activity behaviors.

As spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare cause of abdominal pain, bilateral an extremely event. Only approximately two hundred cases SRAD have been reported in the literature. The diagnosis often delayed due to rarity disease and non-specific clinical presentations such as flank hypertension, fever, nausea, vomiting, hematuria, which can be misdiagnosed genito-urinary infection or gastrointestinal bowel disease. Before 1980, was mostly confirmed via autopsy or, rarely,...
