Adherence to the Planetary Health Diet Index Significantly Lowers MASLD Risk: A Global and Individual-Level Analysis

A comprehensive study integrating global and individual data reveals that adherence to the Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) provides significant protection against metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), highlighting a sustainable approach to managing the global liver disease epidemic.

Video Consultations for Insulin Pump-Treated Type 1 Diabetes: Non-Inferior Glycemic Control with Nuanced Patient Outcomes

A 52-week RCT demonstrates that video consultations achieve comparable Time in Range (TiR) to physical visits for T1D patients on insulin pumps. While the intervention improved HbA1c and treatment satisfaction, it was associated with an inferior impact on patient quality of life.

Finerenone Reduces Albuminuria via Hemodynamic Mechanisms Rather Than Improving Arterial Stiffness: Insights from the FIVE-STAR Trial

The FIVE-STAR trial demonstrates that while finerenone significantly reduces albuminuria in patients with T2D and CKD, it does not improve arterial stiffness (CAVI). These findings suggest that its cardiorenal benefits are primarily driven by intraglomerular pressure modulation rather than systemic vascular remodeling.
