Effects of Cognitive Behavioral Couple Therapy With Integrated Mindfulness on Mindful Attention, Depressive Symptoms, and Dyadic Adjustment in Low-Income Couples: A Pilot Randomized Clinical Trial.

Psychosocial distress can exacerbate marital conflict, maladjustment, and mental health vulnerability. This pilot randomized clinical trial examined cognitive-behavioral couple therapy (CBCT) integrated with mindfulness in low-income Brazilian couples (per-capita household income up to one minimum wage). Thirty-four participants (17 heterosexual couples) were randomized (independent computer-generated sequence) to an experimental (n = 16) or waitlist control group (n = 18). We assessed dyadic adjustment, mindful attention, marital social skills, and depressive symptoms (R-DAS, MAAS, IHSC, BDI-II) at baseline, post-treatment, and 3-month follow-up. The intervention was eight 80-min conjoint sessions plus daily home exercises. Time × group effects favored the experimental group for dyadic adjustment, mindful attention, and depressive symptoms (all p < 0.001, = 0.20-0.37), but not marital social skills (p = 0.14). Because two outcomes differed at baseline, effects were confirmed with baseline- and dependence-adjusted sensitivity analyses. These findings provide preliminary evidence that CBCT with mindfulness may benefit disadvantaged couples.

Orbital involvement in sickle cell disease: A systematic review.

Orbital involvement in sickle cell disease (SCD) is rare but potentially vision-threatening and is often misdiagnosed due to overlap with infectious orbital disease. We conducted a systematic review of case reports and series describing orbital complications in patients with confirmed SCD, following PRISMA and MOOSE guidelines. Across 53 studies, 76 cases were identified. Patients were predominantly male (77.6%), with an average age of 13.2 years. Orbital disease was the initial SCD manifestation in 6.6%. Presentations included periorbital edema in all, proptosis in 64.1%, restricted ocular motility in 56.5%, reduced visual acuity in 28.1%, and bilateral involvement in 38.2%. Laboratory findings commonly included leukocytosis (73%) and raised inflammatory markers (86.7%). Radiologically, orbital subperiosteal hematoma were observed in 70%, combined orbital bone infarction and hematoma in 38.2%, and orbital bone infarction alone in 19.7%. Magnetic resonance imaging is critical for accurate diagnosis. Intracranial hemorrhage was present in 9.2%. Less frequent manifestations included orbital apex syndrome, lacrimal gland disease, and nonspecific soft tissue swelling. Management was primarily conservative (82.9%), and surgery was reserved for vision-threatening or intracranial complications. Complete recovery was achieved in 93.1% of cases. While severe vision-threatening complications are uncommon, early recognition remains critical to optimising outcomes in sickle cell orbitopathy.

A profile of deaths in children at the Diepkloof Forensic Pathology Services mortuary in Gauteng, South Africa from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2020.

This retrospective study was conducted to address the scarcity of knowledge regarding unnatural child deaths in South Africa. This was done by analysing cases admitted to the Diepkloof Forensic Pathology Services mortuary between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020. Data from FPS death registers and FPS case files were used to profile: (1) the incidence, causes and manner of death, circumstances of death, and ancillary investigations performed at autopsy; and (2) to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on trauma-related child deaths. Of 4 704 decedents, 535 (11.4%) were children, predominantly male (55.5%) and Black (94.8%). Accidental deaths were the most common manner of death (42.6%), primarily due to road traffic accidents, burns, and aspiration. Homicides accounted for 6.5% of all deaths in children, most frequently involving sharp force or gunshot injuries. Cranio-cerebral injuries predominated in trauma-related deaths. In 2020, compared to preceding years, with the implementation of the COVID-19 restrictions, there was a decrease in trauma-related child fatalities. These findings suggest that many child deaths are potentially preventable through government implementation of improved safety interventions and community education.

Complete mitochondrial genomes of eight cyclophyllidean tapeworms: genome pattern and phylogenetic analysis.

Cyclophyllidean tapeworms are widespread parasites of significant medical and veterinary importance. However, mitochondrial (mt) genomic resources for cyclophyllideans from China, particularly those recovered from wildlife hosts, remain comparatively limited. In this study, we sequenced and characterized the complete mt genomes of eight cyclophyllidean isolates collected from diverse wild and domestic hosts in China, including two Hymenolepis sp. isolates and two Raillietina sp. isolates from China, and four additional isolates of previously sequenced Taenia species. The circular mt genomes ranged from 13,387 to 14,021 bp in length, encoding 36 typical genes with variable non-coding regions. Comparative analysis revealed highly conserved gene composition and mostly conserved mt architecture, with localized rearrangement patterns detected among the cyclophyllidean lineages examined. In particular, all sampled Taeniidae exhibited a consistent trnL1-trnS2 arrangement, whereas the examined non-Taeniidae families showed the trnS2-trnL1 arrangement, confirming and extending, across additional wildlife-associated isolates, a previously proposed family-associated gene-order marker within Cyclophyllidea. Phylogenetic analyses based on concatenated amino acid sequences of the 12 protein-coding genes placed the eight isolates within their expected families, in topologies broadly consistent with previous mitogenomic studies. These data provide additional Chinese mitogenomic references, especially for underrepresented wildlife-associated isolates, and support family-associated gene-order patterns in Cyclophyllidea.

Influenza as a Less Commonly Recognized Cause of Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis: A Systematic Review of Case Reports and Case Series.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyper-inflammatory condition that can be triggered by viral infections. However, influenza is not commonly recognized as a cause of HLH, and there is no comprehensive synthesis of influenza-associated HLH in the literature to guide clinicians. We conducted a systematic search of Pubmed and Embase to identify case reports and case series on influenza-associated HLH, and included 29 articles involving 47 patients. Their age ranged from 2 months to 72 years. 67% were males. Influenza A accounted for 91.3% of the cases, predominantly H1N1 (90.2%). All patients had fever, 60% had anemia, 69.7% had thrombocytopenia, 46.6% had leukopenia, 61.3% had splenomegaly, 71.4% had hypertriglyceridemia, and 94.7% had elevated ferritin levels. 97.6% had hemophagocytosis on biopsy. Antiviral therapy was administered in 89.5% of patients. HLH-directed therapy included corticosteroids (77%), intravenous immunoglobulin (36%), and etoposide (23.1%). Intensive care was required in 95.2% of cases. Overall survival was 53.2%. Survival rate was 50% among patients who received either antiviral therapy alone or HLH-directed therapy alone, compared with 65.4% among those who received both. Further studies are necessary to establish standardized diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for influenza-associated HLH.

Genome-wide scans reveal candidate genes associated with wing morph differentiation in Tetrix japonica.

Wing dimorphism is an important dispersal-related trait in insects, but its genomic basis remains poorly understood in pygmy grasshoppers. Here, we integrated genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analyses, population structure inference, selection scans, and functional annotation to investigate genomic differentiation between long- and short-winged Tetrix japonica. Principal component analysis (PCA), ADMIXTURE, and phylogenetic analyses revealed weak genome-wide separation between morphs, indicating differentiation on a largely shared genetic background. Genome-wide scans based on the fixation index (FST), nucleotide diversity ratios, and Tajima's D, using 50-kb non-overlapping windows and empirical top-5% outlier thresholds, identified multiple candidate regions across seven chromosomes. The broader long- and short-winged candidate sets spanned 9.35 Mb and 9.37 Mb and directly overlapped 82 and 77 genes, respectively. Candidate genes were associated with signaling/hormone regulation, membrane transport, metabolism, cytoskeletal organization, extracellular matrix structure, and development. Short-winged candidate genes were significantly enriched for ABC-type transporter activity and ATP hydrolysis activity. Because all individuals originated from a single laboratory-maintained population with weak genome-wide structure, these regions should be regarded as candidate loci from a screening-stage analysis that require validation in independent populations and by functional assays, rather than as confirmed targets of selection.

A First-in-Japanese Phase 1, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Cohort Study of Sefaxersen, an Antisense Oligonucleotide Targeting Complement Factor B, in Healthy Participants.

Increased activity in the complement alternative pathway (AP) plays a key role in diseases such as IgA nephropathy (IgAN). This first-in-Japanese double-blind Phase 1 study investigated the pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), safety, and tolerability of sefaxersen (RO7434656), an antisense oligonucleotide targeting complement factor B messenger RNA. Healthy participants were randomized equally into four cohorts: placebo or sefaxersen 20, 40, or 70 mg. The PK, PD, and safety endpoints were monitored throughout the study and during the 90-day follow-up period. All 24 participants completed the study, with no new safety signals or clinically meaningful changes in blood chemistry, electrocardiogram, or vital signs observed. Plasma sefaxersen concentration demonstrated a biphasic PK profile, characterized by an initial rapid decline followed by a slow elimination. Sefaxersen decreased PD markers related to the complement AP selectively, without affecting the classical pathway, in a dose-dependent manner, and the PD effects persisted over 2 to 3 months. Sefaxersen was well tolerated by healthy Japanese participants, with a manageable safety profile. These findings support the inclusion of Japanese patients with IgAN in the global Phase 3 study (IMAGINATION, NCT05797610).

Long-term glycemic variability and risk of peripheral artery disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of cohort studies.

BACKGROUND: A systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of long-term glucose variability (GV) on the risk of developing peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS: The protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD420251148763). Relevant longitudinal studies were identified through comprehensive searches of PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science. The primary outcome was the risk ratio (RR) of PAD comparing participants with high versus low GV. Summary effect sizes were calculated using a random-effects model to account for between-study heterogeneity. RESULTS: Eleven cohorts were included. Higher GV showed a positive association with PAD risk (RR: 1.42; 95% CI [1.21-1.66] p < 0.001), although substantial heterogeneity was present (I 2 = 91%). This association was consistent across subgroups defined by region (Asian vs. Western), study design, diabetic status, GV metrics, PAD diagnostic methods, and adjustment for HbA1c (all p for subgroup differences > 0.05), except for follow-up duration. Studies with follow-up < 8 years showed a stronger association than those with ≥ 8 years (RR: 1.64 vs. 1.19; p for subgroup difference = 0.006). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated long-term GV appears to be associated with an increased risk of PAD. However, substantial heterogeneity across studies suggests that the magnitude of this association should be interpreted with caution.

Understanding FDA's reasons for nonapproval: A systematic review of complete response letters in cell and gene therapy.

BACKGROUND AIMS: Cell and gene therapy products face unique regulatory challenges due to their biological complexity and the stringent expectations for manufacturing control, analytical testing, and clinical assessment. As the pipeline grows, understanding the drivers of FDA non‑approval is increasingly important for improving first‑cycle success and reducing development delays. In this study, we aimed to characterize the frequency and impact of refuse‑to‑file actions, major amendments, and complete response letters issued for biologics licensing applications; and to identify recurring patterns of deficiencies contributing to delayed approval. METHODS: Publicly available documents were extracted from the FDA website. Data from each approved cell and gene therapy product's regulatory history-including complete responses, major amendments, inspection timing, and cited deficiencies-were compiled and categorized across clinical, quality, and labeling domains. RESULTS: Analysis showed that informational deficiencies were common across modalities. Major amendments occurred in roughly half of applications, and complete responses had the most significant impact. Quality deficiencies appeared in all complete responses and were the predominant barrier, while clinical and labeling issues were less frequent but meaningful when present. CONCLUSION: Overall, these findings highlight the need for proactive FDA engagement, comprehensive readiness, and early inspection preparation to reduce regulatory risk and improve first cycle approval outcomes.

Complex evolutionary history of Rosales mediated by extensive incomplete lineage sorting and hybridization.

The angiosperm order Rosales still represents a major challenge for phylogenetic reconstruction. Although its circumscription is now well-defined, phylogenetic relationships among families are still uncertain. Here, we used nuclear, plastid, and mitochondrial genomic data from 33 species representing all nine families to further clarify interfamilial relationships and the group's evolutionary history. We detected significant phylogenetic conflict among the three datasets. Further analyses at the nuclear level identified incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) as the main cause of unstable phylogenetic positions among families. The discordant placements of Rhamnaceae and Elaeagnaceae based on plastid and mitochondrial data are caused by ancient hybridization events, potentially involving differences in organellar inheritance. Our molecular dating confirms earlier suggestions that the ancient rapid diversification of the three Rosaceae subfamilies could be the main reason for the difficulties in resolving their phylogenetic relationships. Our findings provide new insights into the interfamilial relationships of Rosales and demonstrate that the evolutionary history of this order was shaped by ancient and rapid radiation as well as extensive ILS and reticulate evolution. They also suggest that previous attempts to clarify interfamilial relationships in this order were hampered by combining nuclear and organellar sequence data, leading to inconsistent topologies observed across earlier studies.

Comparative analysis of gut microbiota in yaks under different feeding management strategies during cold seasons.

Yaks (Bos grunniens) are crucial for the livelihoods of pastoral communities in cold regions, where feed scarcity during the cold season poses challenges to their health and productivity, underscoring the necessity of understanding how dietary management influences the gut microbiota. In this study, 24 yak steers matched for body weight and health status were randomly allocated to four groups: natural grazing or indoor feeding with roughage-to-concentrate ratios of 50:50, 70:30, or 90:10. Fecal samples were collected for 16S rDNA sequencing and subsequent functional prediction of the microbiota. The results showed that Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla across all groups, and UCG-005 and Rikenellaceae_RC9_gut_group were the predominant genera. Concentrate supplementation during the cold season significantly enhanced microbial richness and diversity, with the 70:30 ratio exerting the most pronounced beneficial effects on microbiota structure and key taxa enrichment. These findings highlight the critical role of dietary management in shaping the yak gut microbiota during cold seasons and suggest that the 70:30 ratio optimally improves microbial community structure, thereby promoting yak health and productivity under harsh climatic conditions. Future research should explore the long-term implications of such dietary strategies.

Systematic review of microorganism disinfection performance by chemical and ultraviolet light water treatment methods.

Safe drinking water is critical for public health, yet microbial contamination remains a significant global challenge. We conducted a systematic review to update World Health Organization guidance on water disinfection technologies by synthesizing peer-reviewed literature from 1997 to 2021 on the performance of free chlorine, chlorine dioxide, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) light against bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Following PRISMA guidelines, we analyzed log10 reduction values (LRVs) and contact times (Ct) or fluence (for UV) from laboratory and field studies. We included studies from multiple databases and expert-recommended studies. Results show mean Cts for 2 LRV of non-opportunistic bacteria as 6.0 (free chlorine), 0.4 (chlorine dioxide), and 1.2 (ozone) mg/L*min, and a mean UV fluence of 8.2 mJ/cm² (all bacteria). Viruses required lower Cts, except for UV-resistant adenoviruses, while protozoa required higher Cts or fluences. Opportunistic bacteria required significantly higher Cts than non-opportunistic bacteria for free chlorine and chlorine dioxide. Temperature and pH effects were inconsistent, highlighting data variability and gaps in field studies. These findings support global guidance on water treatment and may be used alongside other context-specific data to understand the roles these technologies play in reducing waterborne exposures. We recommend standardized reporting from performance studies to enable straightforward synthesis of evidence.

Are there any common effects in preclinical models of micro- and nanoplastic (MNP) exposure? A systematic review.

Micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) are emerging contaminants detected in food sources and the marine food chain, raising concerns about human health. Although no causal relationship has been established between MNP exposure and specific diseases, growing evidence suggests adverse developmental, behavioral, cognitive and biochemical effects. This systematic review synthesized evidence from common preclinical neurotoxicology models, including C. elegans, D. rerio, D. melanogaster, in vitro systems and rodents, to identify convergent developmental, behavioral and biochemical outcomes. The protocol was preregistered in OSF, followed PRISMA-P guidelines, applied PICOS criteria, and assessed methodological quality using the European Commission's ToxRTool. Overall, 185 studies were included. Consistent findings showed impaired survival and disrupted development across all models. Behavioral alterations affecting anxiety, memory, learning, sociability and locomotor activity were also consistently reported. In addition, numerous studies identified disruptions in the serotonergic (5-HT) system, including changes in neurotransmitter levels, transporters and metabolic enzymes. Despite methodological heterogeneity, these findings indicate that MNP exposure produces reproducible neurodevelopmental and neurochemical alterations across experimental models. Future studies should improve methodological harmonization, strengthen cross-model comparability and identify robust biomarkers and key mechanisms underlying MNP-induced neurotoxicity, facilitating translation to human health risk assessment frameworks.

Primary pulmonary salivary gland-type tumors in cytopathology practice: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

BACKGROUND: Primary pulmonary salivary gland-type tumors (PSGTs) are rare but clinically significant tumors that originate from the submucosal glands of the tracheobronchial tree. Cytologic samples taken during bronchoscopy are a key component of preoperative evaluation. However, cytologic diagnosis remains challenging because of the submucosal growth and morphologic overlap of PSGTs. In addition, current knowledge of the cytohistologic correlation of PSGTs is fragmented. The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of cytologic diagnoses of PSGTs. METHODS: A comprehensive, systematic literature search of the PubMed database was conducted to identify studies with cytologic and histologic diagnoses of PSGTs. Comprehensive data on diagnostic and clinical factors, when available, were collected for all individual patients. The data were tabulated in Microsoft Excel and analyzed using OpenMeta (Analyst) software. RESULTS: In total, 49 studies comprising 106 patients were identified. Final cytohistologic concordance was demonstrated in 48.1% of cases. Fine-needle aspiration showed the highest sensitivity (75.0%), followed by bronchial/tracheal washing (38.1%), and bronchial brushing (34.2%). Adenoid cystic carcinoma was the most common histologic subtype, accounting for 67 cases, followed by mucoepidermoid carcinoma, which accounted for 27 cases. CONCLUSIONS: The cytologic diagnosis of rare PSGTs remains challenging. Overall, cytohistologic concordance was 48.1%. However, fine-needle aspiration demonstrated greater diagnostic accuracy than exfoliative cytology and may facilitate a more accurate preoperative assessment.

Characterizing Caregiver-Child Interactions Through a Transactional Lens: A Baseline Analysis of a Caregiver-Implemented Intervention.

PURPOSE: This study was motivated by the transactional model of development and examined the reciprocal influences that children and caregivers have on caregiver-child interactions (CCXs) prior to a caregiver-implemented intervention. We tested whether child communication characteristics were associated with caregiver strategy use and whether these strategies, in turn, influenced children's communication to understand how caregivers and children mutually shaped the language learning environment. METHOD: Caregiver-child dyads (N = 105) were participants in a randomized controlled trial. CCXs were collected when children were approximately 30 months of age, transcribed, and coded for four caregiver language facilitation strategies and child communication variables. RESULTS: Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator regression and postselection inference indicated that child communication characteristics in CCXs were associated with both the frequency and type of strategies caregivers used. Children's overall communication acts were significantly associated with caregiver use of vocabulary strategies, whereas children's vocabulary diversity was significantly associated with caregiver use of sentence strategies. Mixed-effects logistic regression demonstrated that all four caregiver strategies significantly increased the likelihood of spontaneous lexical overlap in subsequent child turns. CONCLUSIONS: Prior to the intervention, caregivers and children reciprocally shaped the language environment. This supports a transactional perspective and warrants further consideration of reciprocal influences when assessing the impact of caregiver-implemented interventions.

[Optical genome mapping analysis of a Chinese pedigree with a complex balanced translocation involving four chromosomes].

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic characteristics of a complex balanced translocation involving four non-homologous chromosomes in a Chinese pedigree using optical genomic mapping (OGM). METHODS: A woman with primary infertility and her family members who presented at the Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University in October 2021 were selected as study subjects. Comprehensive analysis and verification of chromosomal abnormalities were conducted through conventional G-band karyotyping analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism microarray (SNP array) and OGM. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of the hospital (Ethics No.: E2022210). RESULTS: G-band karyotyping analysis indicated that the proband, her father, and younger brother have all carried a complex translocation involving four chromosomes. SNP array analysis revealed a duplication of approximately 21.63 Mb in the 9p24.1-p21.1 region in the proband's younger brother, while no abnormality was detected in other family members. OGM confirmed that the complex balanced translocation has involved chromosomes 5, 8, 9, and 10. CONCLUSION: The proband has harbored a complex balanced translocation. OGM has demonstrated certain advantages in characterization of complex chromosomal structural abnormalities.

The glucagon and GLP-1 receptor dual agonist DD01 for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease and steatohepatitis (DD01-DN-02): 12-week results from a randomised, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial.

BACKGROUND: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) is a major public health problem arising in the context of metabolic syndrome and obesity. DD01 is a liver-targeted GLP-1 receptor and glucagon dual agonist being investigated for the treatment of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and MASH. The DD01-DN-02 trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of DD01 in adults with MASLD or MASH; this initial analysis reports prespecified 12-week outcomes to assess early hepatic effects. METHODS: DD01-DN-02 is an ongoing, randomised, double-blind, multicentre, placebo-controlled, phase 2 trial conducted at 12 outpatient clinical sites in the USA. Adults aged 18-70 years with obesity or who were overweight (BMI ≥25 kg/m2) were included in the study. Patients with MASLD or MASH underwent liver biopsy and MRI-proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and were eligible if liver fat content was 10% or higher with metabolic risk factors, or if the biopsy confirmed MASH with a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score of at least 4. Participants were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive once-weekly subcutaneous DD01 40 mg or matched placebo over 48 weeks, dose-escalated over 2 weeks, using a centrally administered interactive response technology system. The randomisation sequence was computer-generated by an independent statistician. Participants, investigators, study staff, outcome assessors, and the sponsor were masked to treatment assignment. The primary endpoint was the proportion of participants having at least a 30% relative reduction in liver fat by MRI-PDFF at week 12, which was analysed in all randomly assigned participants receiving at least one dose of study drug or placebo. Safety analyses included all participants who received at least one dose of study drug. Missing primary endpoint data were handled using multiple imputation under a missing-at-random assumption. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06410924) and is ongoing but closed to new participants. FINDINGS: Between June 13, 2024, and Jan 30, 2025, 67 eligible participants were enrolled, of whom 33 were randomly assigned to DD01 and 34 to placebo. The mean age of participants was 48·4 years (SD 10·6), 42 (63%) were female, 25 (37%) were male, 57 (85%) were White, and 52 (78%) participants had biopsy-confirmed MASH. At week 12, 25 (76%) of 33 participants receiving DD01 had a 30% or higher reduction in liver fat versus four (12%) of 34 participants receiving placebo (adjusted common odds ratio 28·8 [95% CI 7·2-115·2]; adjusted relative risk 6·3 [95% CI 2·5-15·9]; p<0·0001). Treatment-emergent adverse events occurred in 28 (85%) of 33 participants receiving DD01 and 23 (68%) of 34 participants receiving placebo. The most common adverse events were nausea (18 [55%] of 33 participants assigned DD01; six [18%] of 34 participants assigned placebo), diarrhoea (nine [27%] of 33; six [18%] of 34), and vomiting (ten [30%] of 33; four [12%] of 34). Treatment-emergent adverse events led to treatment discontinuation in four (12%) of 33 participants in the DD01 group and one (3%) of 34 participants in the placebo group. Two (6%) treatment-emergent serious adverse events occurred in the DD01 group (abdominal pain and acute cholecystitis) and zero in the placebo group. No deaths occurred. INTERPRETATION: In this prespecified 12-week primary analysis, DD01 produced rapid reductions in liver fat compared with placebo, supporting further evaluation in long-term studies.

Continuous Intraperitoneal Insulin Infusion for People With Type 1 Diabetes: A Literature Review and International Position Statement.

Achieving glucose targets without hypoglycaemia is the treatment goal in type 1 diabetes. Structured education, intensified insulin injection regimens, continuous glucose monitoring, automated insulin delivery, and ongoing support from a multidisciplinary team all support people with type 1 diabetes to achieve this goal. Despite these advances, significant barriers to achieving optimal management remain. Continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion has comparable or better glucose outcomes to continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion and may reduce the frequency of hypoglycaemia, including severe episodes. Intraperitoneal insulin may be considered as a treatment modality for children and adults with type 1 diabetes using optimised intensive insulin therapy for whom subcutaneous insulin has failed due to lipoatrophy, -dystrophy or -hypertrophy, local allergy, subcutaneous insulin resistance or co-existing skin conditions. Failure of subcutaneous insulin may result in recurrent or unexplained severe hypoglycaemia or hyperglycaemia. Intraperitoneal insulin may also be considered as a treatment modality for people with type 1 diabetes with severe needle-phobia, and for those being considered for islet cell or pancreatic transplantation, or where transplantation is not available. This paper summarises current intraperitoneal insulin delivery technology, its potential risks and benefits, and an expert position statement. It is intended for use by diabetes specialist healthcare professionals, and as a reference for other healthcare professionals, commissioners, payors, people with diabetes, their carers, and advocates.
