OBJECTIVES: Craniopharyngiomas (CP) are rare brain tumors with a low mortality rate, but with significant morbidity, in part due to the various long-term endocrine sequelae related to hypothalamic/pituitary deficiencies. Our objective was to assess the prevalence of endocrine dysfunction and outcome after treatment of CP at our institution and to a...
AIM: To characterize and stratify health-related quality of life in individuals with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using body mass index (BMI) and clustering analysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Baseline data on individuals with T1D were pooled from two studies. A post hoc analysis of health-related quality of life, measured using the 36-item Short-Form questio...

This review aims to assess the published evidence on airway management with a supraglottic airway device (SGA) for general anaesthesia in patients requiring a caesarean section. Physiological changes during pregnancy can make airway management in parturients challenging. At the same time, pregnant patients are at risk of pulmonary aspiration due to...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: People who drink alcohol excessively are at increased risk of developing metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-related liver disease (MetALD) or the more severe form alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). One of the most significant challenges concerns the early detection of MetALD/ALD. Previously, we have demonstrated that the lysosom...
OBJECTIVES: We undertook time-stratified analyses of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the US to assess time trends (1999-2020) in the associations of blood lead (BL) with blood pressure, mortality, the BL-associated population attributable fraction (PAF). METHODS: Vital status of participants, 20-79 years old at enrolment, wa...
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of chronic complications with time in tight range (TITR: 3.9-7.8 mmol/l) and time in range (TIR: 3.9-10.0 mmol/l) in people with type 1 diabetes. METHODS: The prevalence of microvascular complications (diabetic retinopathy, diabetic nephropathy and diabetic peripheral neuropathy...
PURPOSE: A substantial proportion of patients with cancer are older and experience multimorbidity. As the population is ageing, the management of older patients with multimorbidity including cancer will represent a significant challenge to current clinical practice. METHODS: This study aimed to (1) identify which chronic health conditions may cause...
