Nature Reviews Endocrinology recently highlighted our very own Osagie Ebekozien MD, MPH! Dr. Ebekozien leads the T1D Exchange Quality Improvement Collaborative (T1DX-QI), our network of 61 diabetes centers across the U.S. “T1DX-QI has comprehensively used real-world data to quantify real-world equity insights and to benchmark inequitable diabetes mellitus outcomes among centers. Through training and design systems, the T1DX-QI is measuring and testing strategies to reduce the role of implicit bias in diabetes mellitus care,” explained Dr. Ebekozien in Nature.

Revolutionizing Diabetes Care: The Role of Endocrinology in Innovative Treatments https://lnkd.in/eMucf3GJ https://lnkd.in/eTEtQBJn Diabetes is a complex and chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide. As the prevalence of diabetes continues to rise, the field of endocrinology is at the forefront of developing innovative treatments that improve patient outcomes and quality of life. This blog post explores the latest advancements in diabetes care, highlighting the crucial role of endocrinologists in driving these innovations. One of the most significant developments in diabetes care is the shift towards personalized medicine. Endocrinologists are using genetic and molecular profiling to tailor treatments to individual patients, ensuring more effective management of the disease. #Endocrinology #Diabetes care #Personalized medicine #Glucose monitoring #Insulin delivery #Diabetes management #Endocrinologists #Innovative treatments #Diabetes prevention #Metabolic disorders

Not all research is created equal. Some research studies are more careful and convincing than others. The research Azoki is sharing in this social media series is what we believe to be extremely high quality and/or especially impactful for practice. Today, we excerpt conclusions emerging from a high-level ‘study of studies’ published in the prestigious journal, The Lancet - Diabetes & Endocrinology. The authors review the research on endocrine-disrupting chemicals and their impact on human health. They write:  Evidence is particularly strong for relations between perfluoroalkyl substances and child and adult obesity, impaired glucose tolerance, gestational diabetes, reduced birthweight, reduced semen quality, polycystic ovarian syndrome, endometriosis, and breast cancer. Evidence also exists for relations between bisphenols and adult diabetes, reduced semen quality, and polycystic ovarian syndrome; phthalates and prematurity, reduced anogenital distance in boys, childhood obesity, and impaired glucose tolerance; Clearly, we need to clean up our world.  See: Kahn LG, Philippat C, Nakayama SF, Slama R, Trasande L. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals: implications for human health. Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol. 2020 Aug;8(8):703-718. doi: 10.1016/S2213-8587(20)30129-7.

📃Scientific paper: Increased Risk of Parkinson's Disease in Women after Bilateral Oophorectomy Abstract: International audience; Background: Results regarding the association between hormonal exposure and risk of Parkinson's disease (PD) are heterogeneous. Objectives: To investigate the association of reproductive life characteristics with PD among postmenopausal women. Methods: The PARTAGE case–control included 130 female cases and 255 age-matched female controls. Information on gynecological history was obtained from a standardized questionnaire and PD was validated by neurological examination. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed using conditional logistic regression. Results: After adjustment for education level, smoking status, professional exposure to pesticides, and coffee and alcohol drinking, bilateral oophorectomy (OR = 3.55, 95%CI = 1.75–7.20), but neither menopause before age 50 years (OR = 1.24, 95%CI = 0.74–2.09) nor hormone therapy (HT; OR = 1.07, 95%CI = 0.62–1.86), was associated with PD. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that bilateral oophorectomy is associated with increased risk of PD.

Each additional decade of type 2 diabetes shortens lives by about 3.5 years compared to not having diabetes. A recent study by the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration, published in The Lancet – Diabetes and Endocrinology. It's long known that Diabetes reduces life expectancy, but according to the study, higher body mass index (BMI), blood pressure, and lipid levels are the main triggers for cardiovascular complications, the main cause of mortality. The silver lining? The authors recommend that "high priority should be given to developing and implementing interventions that prevent or delay onset, especially as its prevalence among younger age groups is increasing globally,". Prevention, yet again, is the key. #preventivemedicine #earlydetection #healthylifestyle
