  • Risk of Any Hypoglycemia with New Antihyperglycemic Agents in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
    Risk of Any Hypoglycemia with New Antihyperglycemic Agents in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis by Sanaz Kamalinia A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Institute of Medical Sciences University of Toronto © Copyright by Sanaz Kamalinia (2019) Risk of Any Hypoglycemia with New Antihyperglycemic Agents in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta- Analysis Sanaz Kamalinia Master of Science Institute of Medical Sciences University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Background : Evaluation of hypoglycemia risk relative to placebo with new antihyperglycemic agents (AHA) including the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors (DPP4i), glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP1RA) and sodium-glucose co-transporter- 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) remains inconclusive. Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to assess risk of any and severe hypoglycemia with new AHA relative to placebo by excluding studies with background sulfonylureas and insulin. Methods: Randomized, placebo-controlled studies, 12 weeks or greater in duration were considered for inclusion. Studies allowing background use of any other AHA, apart from metformin, were excluded. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42018095458). Results: 141 studies included in the meta-analysis demonstrate that relative to placebo, risk of any and severe hypoglycemia did not significantly differ for any new AHA. ii Acknowledgments First and foremost, I wish to express my sincere gratitude to my program advisor committee members. To my supervisor Dr Tobe, thank you for accepting me as your student and presenting me with this challenge. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially given your positive words of encouragement and insightful guidance for every step of this journey.

  • Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors and the Risk of Heart Failure: a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
    CMAJ OPEN Research Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and the risk of heart failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis Subodh Verma MD PhD, Ronald M. Goldenberg MD, Deepak L. Bhatt MD MPH, Michael E. Farkouh MD MSc, Adrian Quan MPhil, Hwee Teoh PhD, Kim A. Connelly MBBS PhD, Lawrence A. Leiter MD, Jan O. Friedrich MD DPhil Abstract Background: Given recent discrepant results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs), we examined the totality of RCT evidence assessing the association between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and heart failure. Methods: MEDLINE, Embase and ClinicalTrials.gov were searched without language restrictions to August 2016 for RCTs compar- ing DPP-4 inhibitors to placebo or no therapy for a period of 24 weeks or more. We included all heart failure outcomes when listed either as a serious adverse event or adverse event. Pooled analyses used random-effects. Results: We identified 100 RCTs (n = 79 867) — 3 large cardiovascular-safety RCTs (SAVOR-TIMI 53[saxagliptin]/n = 16 492, EXAMINE[alogliptin]/n = 5380, and TECOS[sitagliptin]/n = 14 735), and 97 smaller RCTs with a primary outcome that was usually change in glycated hemoglobin. Virtually all RCTs were high-quality, multicentre, placebo-controlled trials. A total of 96% (1192/1244) of heart failure events were prespecified, blindly adjudicated and required hospital admission. Pooled results suggested a 13% increase in heart failure (relative risk [RR] 1.13, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01–1.26, I2 = 0%; 32 RCTs, n = 54 640, 1244 events). When including only the 3 large RCTs, the increase was similar, but not significant (RR 1.14, 95% CI 0.97–1.32; 3 RCTs, n = 36 543, 1169 adjudicated events; number needed to harm 246) owing to heterogeneity (I2 = 42%), which lead to wider CIs, because SAVOR- TIMI 53 showed increased heart failure (RR 1.26, 95% CI 1.06–1.49) and TECOS showed no effect (RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.83–1.19).

Steatosis is the initial stage of the disease, which is characterized by lipid accumulation in hepatocytes, which can progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with inflammation and various levels of fibrosis that further increase the risk of developing cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The pathogenesis of NAFLD is influenced by interactions between genetic and environmental factors and involves several biological processes in multiple organs. No effective therapy is currently available for the treatment of NAFLD.

  • Role of Glitazars in Atherogenic Dyslipidemia and Diabetes: Two Birds with One Stone?
    Review Article Role of Glitazars in atherogenic dyslipidemia and diabetes: Two birds with one stone? Srinivasa P. Munigoti, C. V. Harinarayan1 Consultant Endocrinologist, Fortis Hospital, 1Director, Institute of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Osteoporosis, Sakra World Hospitals, Marathahalli, Bangalore, Karnataka, India ABSTRACT A triad of high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and elevated small dense low-density lipoprotein particles occurring in a patient with type 2 diabetes is referred to atherogenic diabetic dyslipidemia (ADD). Despite statin therapy, a signifi cant residual risk remains potentially attributable to increased triglyceride concentration and low HDL cholesterol, a characteristic hallmark of ADD. Current therapeutic options in reducing this residual risk include nicotinic acid, omega 3 fatty acids, and selective peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-alpha (PPAR) agonists (fi brates). These drugs are limited in their potential either by lack of evidence to support their role in reducing cardiovascular events or due to their side effects. This review details their current status and also the role of new glitazar, saroglitazar adual PPARα/γ agonist with predominant PPARα activity in the management of ADD.
