SGLT2is reduce serious hyperkalaemia risk in T2D, CKD patients
Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) consistently reduced the risk of serious hyperkalaemia (serum potassium [K+] ≥6.0 mmol/L) without increasing the risk of hypokalaemia (serum K+ ≤3.5 mmol/L) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high cardiovascular (CV) risk, or in those with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a meta-analysis has shown.

Rare gene mutations predict prostate cancer relapse
Rare and deleterious germline mutations affecting inflammatory response and cellular signaling pathways associate strongly with the time to biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical treatment in patients with prostate cancer (PrCa), according to a recent study.
