Long-Term Effectiveness and Safety of SGLT-2 Inhibitors in an Italian Cohort of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Maria Mirabelli, Eusebio Chiefari, Patrizia Caroleo, Raffaella Vero, Francesco Saverio Brunetti, Domenica Maria Corigliano, Biagio Arcidiacono, Daniela Patrizia Foti, Luigi Puccio, Antonio Brunetti

“…With regard to safety outcomes, 66 patients out of 91 stopped SGLT-2 inhibitors during follow-up because of chronic or recurring genital infections, while the rest experienced other adverse events, such as urinary tract infections, polyuria, nausea, hypotension, dizziness, acute coronary event, worsening of glycemic control status, and rapid deterioration of renal function. Conclusion. In our patients’ population, the glycometabolic effects of SGLT-2 inhibitors were durable and comparable to those observed in multicenter randomized controlled trials. …”

The Role of Physical Activity in Managing ADHD Symptoms in Children and Adolescents – Review of Current Literature by Barbara Chojnacka, Aleksandra Ożga, Julia Wątor, Agnieszka Woźniacka, Jerzy Krzeszowiak, Barbara Boba, Tomasz Pulanecki, Alicja Podolska, Sylwia Bryksy, Patrycja Kolano

“…Conclusions: This review’s findings show that physical activity interventions benefit ADHD symptoms and executive functions in children and adolescents. Results of the studies showed that physical activity, especially organized closed-skill activities like running and aerobic training, enhanced the core ADHD symptoms (impulsivity, attention dysregulation, hyperactivity) the most, while open-skill activities that require real-time adaptation to environmental changes, had some effect on inhibitory control. …”

T cell-specific non-viral DNA delivery and in vivo CAR-T generation using targeted lipid nanoparticles by Jacek Lubelski, Eline van Diest, Ator Ashoti, Christina Zotou, Hanneke Rijssemus, Raymond Schiffelers, Zhiyong Lei, Maurits Geerlings, Jaime Fernández Bimbo, Daniel E Murphy, Martijn J W Evers, Suneel A Narayanavari, Diana Pereira Vaz, Nadine Saber, Peter Mayrhofer

“…Most current in vivo CAR-T approaches, while demonstrating encouraging preclinical efficacy, rely on transient messenger RNA (mRNA) delivery or viral vectors which both have limitations in terms of efficiency, durability, and scalability. To address these challenges, we developed a novel DNA-based targeted lipid nanoparticle (LNP) which we termed NCtx.Methods Minicircle DNA (mcDNA) encoding a CAR construct and SB100x transposase mRNA were encapsulated within a novel lipid formulation which was functionalized with T cell-specific anti-CD7 and anti-CD3 binders. …”
