Compared with patients taking an SFU, lower adjusted rates of hypoglycemia were associated with taking a DPP-4 inhibitor (63% lower rate; incidence rate ratio [IRR], 0.37; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.57), SGLT-2 inhibitor (54% lower; IRR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.94), or TZD (79% lower; IRR, 0.21; 95% CI, 0.08 to 0.56) but not a glucagon-like peptide 1 agonist or basal insulin. For AMCs, only initiation of a DPP-4 inhibitor (43% lower rate; IRR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.41 to 0.81) was associated with a lower adjusted rate compared with SFU. Use of SGLT-2 inhibitors was not associated with a substantially increased rate of acute metabolic complications compared with SFU. Special attention still needs to be paid to glycemic outcomes when choosing a second-line diabetes therapy following metformin.Although capillary leak syndrome has a high mortality rate, its trigger, diagnosis, and treatment remain a challenge to clinicians because of the poor understanding of its mechanism and lack of treatment guidelines. With the extended use of immune checkpoint inhibitors in modern oncology, immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated immune-related adverse events have also expanded. We present a case of pembrolizumab-induced capillary leak syndrome and lymphatic capillary dysfunction in which the patient had an excellent clinical response to a tailored treatment strategy. To highlight the current global trends in mortality for cardiovascular disease and cancer. The World Health Organization and the World Bank DataBank databases were used to analyze mortality rates for cancer and cardiovascular disease by calculating age-standardized mortality rates (ASRs) from 2000 to 2015 for high-income, upper-middle-income, and lower-middle-income countries. Data for cancer mortality and population for 43 countries representing 5 of the 7 continents (except Australia and Antarctica) were analyzed. From 2000 to 2015, there was an increase in the ASR for cancer for both men and women irrespective of a country's income status, representing an overall 7% increase in cancer ASR (Pearson ,+0.99; <.00001). We report a higher ASR for cancer in high-income countries than in upper-middle-income and lower-middle-income countries specifically; high-income countries saw a 3% increase in cancer ASR vs+31% for upper-middle-income and+19% for lower-middle-income countries ( <.01). There has been a decrease in the ASR for cardiovascular disease for the 15 years analyzed ( <.00001). In addition, high-income countries had a higher ASR for cardiovascular disease than upper-middle-income countries during the 15-year period ( <.05). We suspect that because of early detection and targeted interventions, cardiovascular disease mortality rates have decreased during the past decade. On the basis of our results, cancer mortality rates continue to rise, with the projection of surpassing cardiovascular disease mortality rates in the near future.

To test an intervention to increase screening for hepatitis B (HBV) in at-risk immigrants in the primary care setting. From a Mayo Clinic primary care panel, we identified approximately 19,000 immigrant patients from 9 high-risk countries/ethnic groups with intermediate or high prevalences of chronic HBV. Eligible patients with no record of prior HBV testing scheduled for primary care visits within the study period spanning October 1, 2017, through October 31, 2018, were identified. During the intervention period, the primary health care professional was notified by email 1 week prior to each primary care visit and encouraged to discuss screening f
