Renal denervation effective in patients with untreated high blood pressure

Three months after undergoing renal denervation —a procedure that delivers energy to overactive nerves leading to the kidney to decrease their activity—patients with untreated high blood pressure had statistically significant reductions in average blood pressure over 24 hours compared with patients who underwent a sham procedure and experienced no major adverse effects, according to results from the SPYRAL-HTN OFF MED pivotal trial presented at the American College of Cardiology's Annual Scientific Session Together with World Congress of Cardiology.

Men who had early puberty at higher risk of type 2 diabetes

A man who experienced the onset of puberty earlier than usual is at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes as an adult, compared to boys who have later puberty. This trend does not depend on childhood weight. The study, published in the journal Diabetologia in March 2020, may help establish guidelines for prevention and testing for diabetes in men.

Participation of people with diabetes in online support groups associated with poorer health

Diabetes is a disease that affects people's lives more in the long term and requires emotional support and information. It is increasingly common for people with diabetes to participate in digital communities and seek help in so-called OSGs (online support groups) to share experiences and glean information.
