Association Between the Variability of Glycated Hemoglobin and Retinopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Meta-Analysis

Liping Zhai, Jun Lu, Xinjian Cao, Jun Zhang, Yong Yin, Hu Tian

Visit-to-visit variability of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is a marker of long-term glycemic fluctuation, which has been related to increased risk of macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The association between HbA1c variability and retinopathy in patients with T2DM, however, has been inconsistent in previous studies. In order to fully evaluate the above association, we conducted a meta-analysis. Observational studies related to the aim of the meta-analysis were identified by search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases. Studies with HbA1c variability evaluated as the standard deviation (SD) and/or the coefficients of variation (CV) of HbA1c were included. The results were analyzed using a random-effects model that incorporated potential heterogeneity between studies...

Association of Metabolic Syndrome with Adverse Outcomes in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease: A Meta-Analysis

Yongcai Su, Xiaole Zhang

A consensus has not been reached on the association of metabolic syndrome (MetS) with adverse outcomes in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to summarize the prognostic implication of MetS in patients with stable CAD. We comprehensively searched articles indexing in PubMed and Embase databases until August 14, 2022. Original studies investigating the association of MetS with adverse outcomes in patients with stable CAD were included. Seven studies including 32 736 patients with stable CAD were identified...

The Impact of Information About COVID-19 on the Endocrine Stress System and Cognitive Distortions

Leclère M et al.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is one of the major health concerns worldwide affecting not only human physical health but also contributing to the development of many mental disorders including impairment of the cognitive function. It is highly conceivable that elevation of the stress hormones, i.e., glucocorticoids and catecholamines, due to the infection, as well as the presence of psychosocial stressors, such as COVID-19 information, play a critical role in the development of these disorders. In the present study, the potential impact of exposure to COVID-19 information on the cognitive distortion and stress levels was analyzed in a population of 32 first-year medical sciences students using the stress assessment questionnaire (SAQ) and the posttraumatic cognitions inventory (PTCI) surveys...
