Introduction: The objective of this study was to examine changes in hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), anti-diabetic medication use, insulin resistance, and other ambulatory glucose profile metrics between baseline and after 90 days of participation in the Twin Precision Nutrition (TPN) Program enabled by Digital Twin Technology. Methods: This was a retrospective study of patients with type 2 diabetes who participated in the TPN Program and had at least 3 months Digital Features To view enhanced digital features for this article go to https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare. 12943226.
The objective of this retrospective observational cohort study was to measure glycemic variability and reductions in body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and use of antihypertensive medications in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients participating in the digital twin-enabled Twin Precision Treatment (TPT) Program. Study participants included 19 females and 45 males with T2D who chose to participate in the TPT Program and adhered to program protocols. Nine additional enrollees were excluded due to major program non-adherence. Enrollees were required to have adequate hepatic and renal function, no myocardial infarction, stroke, or angina ≤ 90 days before enrollment, and no history of ketoacidosis or major psychiatric disorders. The TPT program uses Digital Twin technology, machine learning algorithms, and precision nutrition to aid treatment of patients with T2D. Each study participant had ≥ 3 months of follow-up. Outcome measures included glucose percentage coefficient of variation (%CV), low blood glucose index (LBGI), high blood glucose index (HBGI), systolic and diastolic BP, number of antihypertensive medications, and BMI. Sixty-four patients participated in the program. Mean (± standard deviation) %CV, LBGI, and HBGI values were low (17.34 ± 4.35, 1.37 ± 1.37, and 2.13 ± 2.79, respectively) throughout the 90-day program. BMI decreased from 29.23 ± 5.83 at baseline to 27.43 ± 5.25 kg/m2. Systolic BP fell from 134.72 ± 17.73 to 124.58 ± 11.62 mm Hg. Diastolic BP decreased from 83.95 ± 10.20 to 80.33 ± 7.04 mm Hg. The percent of patients taking antihypertensive medications decreased from 35.9% at baseline to 4.7% at 90 days. During 90 days of the TPT Program, patients achieved low glycemic variability and significant reductions in BMI and BP. Antihypertensive medication use was eliminated in nearly all patients. Future research will focus on randomized case–control comparisons.
Background Type 2 diabetes reversal has been viewed in the literature primarily as a dichotomous event (reversed or not reversed), even though this viewpoint may not be optimal for clinicians or patients. This cohort study’s objectives were to define stages of type 2 diabetes reversal and measure changes in reversal stages before and after 90 days of digital twin-enabled precision nutrition therapy. Methods This study defines seven stages of diabetes reversal. The study is a retrospective pre/post comparison of changes in reversal stage, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), weight, body mass index (BMI), and other metrics measured before and after precision nutrition therapy. Reversal stages were defined as Stage 0: HbA1c < 5.7% without medication for > 1 year, Stage 1: HbA1c < 5.7% without medication for < 1 year, Stage 2: HbA1c < 6.5% without medication, Stage 3: estimated HbA1c (eA1c) between 5.7 and 6.4% without medication, Stage 4: estimated HbA1c (eA1c) between 5.7 and 6.4% with metformin monotherapy, Stage 5: dual oral therapy, Stage 6: > = 3 medications. Results Reversal stage information was available for 463 patients at baseline and 90 days. At baseline, the proportions of patients in each reversal stage were Stages 1 and 2: 0%, Stage 3: 1%, Stage 4: 8%, Stage 5: 6%, and Stage 6: 85%. After 90 days, the proportions in each reversal stage were Stage 1: 2%, Stage 2: 9%, Stage 3: 32%, Stage 4: 39%, Stage 5: 7%, and Stage 6: 11%, indicating significant progress. Reversal stage progression rates varied by patient subgroup. Conclusions Type 2 diabetes patients reached differing reversal stages during 90 days of precision nutrition therapy. Use of reversal stages may benefit patients during therapy. Trial registration This was a retrospective study that was approved by the Medisys Clinisearch Ethical Review Board (without registration number) in 2019.
Strange uterine draining characterized as a seeping from uterine form which is irregular in volume, routineness or potentially timing that has been available for most of the most recent a half year. Assessment of the patients was by history taking, general and nearby assessment, research facility examinations, transvaginal ultrasonography, hysteroscopy and dilatation and curettage with biobsy. To evaluate the Role of Office Hysteroscopy in finding of Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and its Histopathological Correlation in Child Bearing Period. This examination was imminent observational investigation carried on 100 ladies of conceptive age bunch from 18-40 years took care of Benha college emergency clinics between November 2018 to November 2020 to assess the symptomatic and restorative function of office hysteroscopy in anomalous uterine draining and its histopathological connection in ladies inside kid bearing period. Office hysteroscopy had affectability of 88%, explicitness of 84,2%, positive prescient estimation of 96%, negative prescient estimation of 61.5% and demonstrative precision of 87% for diagnosing the intrauterine reason for unusual uterine dying. Office hysteroscopy is a straightforward, essential and generally safe outpatient strategy which permits a satisfactory investigation of the uterine cavity under visual control.
