Excerpt

In only 5 years, more than 20,000 papers (more than 300 in the last month) dealing with vitamin D have been published, reflecting the deep interest of the scientific community for the role of this hormone in health and disease. As a matter of fact, vitamin D has been shown to exert pleiotropic effects on different tissues and there has been growing evidence that low vitamin D may be associated with several pathological conditions, including fragility fractures [1], myopathy [2], diabetes [3], cardiovascular [4], autoimmune [5], and neoplastic diseases [6]. Despite this compelling evidence, there is still controversy on how hypovitaminosis D should be evaluated and defined in different clinical settings and whether and how supplementation of vitamin D deficiency may truly influence the different clinical outcomes. …

Battle of Experts: Sport vs. Spritze bei Adipositas und Typ-2-Diabetes

11.05.2024 DDG-Jahrestagung 2024 Kongressbericht

Im Battle of Experts traten zwei Experten auf dem Diabeteskongress gegeneinander an: Die eine vertrat die Auffassung „Sport statt Spritze“ bei Adipositas und Typ-2-Diabetes, der andere forderte „Spritze statt Sport!“ Am Ende waren sie sich aber einig: Die Kombination aus beidem erzielt die besten Ergebnisse.

Vorsicht, erhöhte Blutungsgefahr nach PCI!
