Advancing Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) for Inpatient Clinical Decision Support: Individual Algorithmic Mean Absolute Relative Difference (MARD) Open
Objective: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is widely used to monitor glucose levels in patients with diabetes and guide insulin dosing in outpatients. In inpatient care, special regulatory requirements necessitate CGM accuracy as a pre…

Accuracy and Reliability of Intermittent Scanning and Real-Time Continuous Glucose Monitoring Systems in Diabetes Emergencies Open
Background: Diabetes care is a major challenge of patients treated in hospitals. A continuous glucose monitoring system (CGM) provides a more comprehensive assessment of glucose control than capillary blood glucose measurements. Especially…

Implications of an HbA1c-based Diabetes Screening on Prevalence and Effect of Dysglycemia in Patients With COVID-19 Open
Context In patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2 infection, diabetes is associated with poor COVID-19 prognosis. However, case detection strategy is divergent and reported prevalence varies from 5% to 35%. Obje…

The Fungal Gut Microbiome Exhibits Reduced Diversity and Increased Relative Abundance of Ascomycota in Severe COVID-19 Illness and Distinct Interconnected Communities in SARS-CoV-2 Positive Patients Open
Clinical and experimental studies indicate that the bacterial and fungal gut microbiota modulates immune responses in distant organs including the lungs. Immune dysregulation is associated with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, and several grou…

COVID-19 in Elderly, Immunocompromised or Diabetic Patients—From Immune Monitoring to Clinical Management in the Hospital Open
The novel, highly transmissible severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has triggered a pandemic of acute respiratory illness worldwide and remains a huge threat to the healthcare system’s capacity to respond to COVID-…

Clonidine suppression test for a reliable diagnosis of pheochromocytoma: When to use Open
Objective In clinical practice, false‐positive results in biochemical testing for suspected pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL) are not infrequent and may lead to unnecessary examinations. We aimed to evaluate the role of the clonidine s…

A Pro-Inflammatory Gut Microbiome Characterizes SARS-CoV-2 Infected Patients and a Reduction in the Connectivity of an Anti-Inflammatory Bacterial Network Associates With Severe COVID-19 Open
The gut microbiota contributes to maintaining human health and regulating immune responses. Severe COVID-19 illness is associated with a dysregulated pro-inflammatory immune response. The effect of SARS-CoV-2 on altering the gut microbiome…

Distinct Late-Night Salivary Cortisol Cut-Off Values for the Diagnosis of Hypercortisolism Open
Due to high morbidity and mortality of untreated hypercortisolism, a prompt diagnosis is essential. Measurement of late-night salivary cortisol provides a simple and non-invasive method. However, thresholds and reference ranges differ amon…
