💢 Diagnosis and Treatment of Cushing Syndrome
The incidence of Cushing syndrome due to endogenous overproduction of cortisol is 2 to 8 people per million annually. JAMA Deputy Editor Mary M. McDermott, MD, discusses diagnosis, management, and treatment of this condition with authors Martin Reincke, MD, from University of Munich, and Maria Fleseriu, MD, from Oregon Health and Science University.

The correct answer is B. Anticoagulation for 6 weeks.
The most appropriate management is anticoagulation for 6 weeks to treat a superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) (Option B). SVT often affects the lower extremities and is thought to account for 10% of lower extremity thromboses. The lesser saphenous vein is a distal superficial vein. Treatment is indicated for SVT when the thrombus is 5 cm or greater in length or is close to the deep venous system or if other thrombophilic risk factors are present. This patient's thrombus length is 7 cm, so anticoagulation for 6 weeks is indicated.
An anticoagulant therapy duration of 3 to 6 months is appropriate management of an acute proximal deep venous thrombosis (DVT) that is provoked by reversible risk factors (Option A). SVT, provoked or unprovoked, can be treated with only 6 weeks of anticoagulation.
Vein ligation might be considered for patients at higher risk who have an absolute contraindication to anticoagulation to prevent propagation of the thrombus into the deep venous system (Option C). Vein ligation is not part of routine care. In this patient, anticoagulation is the preferred therapy.
Observation would be an appropriate management option for a superficial vein thrombosis without high-risk features (Option D). Patients with low-risk lower extremity SVT can be managed conservatively with warm compresses, analgesics, and NSAIDs. Compression stockings may hasten the resolution of the thrombus. Follow-up should be scheduled in 1 week to ensure symptom resolution. If symptoms persist or worsen, repeat duplex ultrasonography should be performed to evaluate for extension of the thrombus. If repeat ultrasound shows thrombus extension, anticoagulation would then be indicated.
Key Points
Six weeks of anticoagulation is indicated for superficial vein thrombosis when the thrombus is 5 cm or greater in length or is close to the deep venous system or when other thrombophilic risk factors present.
For patients with low-risk superficial vein thrombosis, observation with follow-up in 1 week to ensure symptom resolution is reasonable; if symptoms persist or worsen, repeat duplex ultrasonography should be performed.

💢 Certain cancer survivors far more likely to die of noncancer-related causes
The cancer survivor population is growing, with two-thirds of cancer survivors are now living more than 5 years.
Taking care of the general health of cancer survivors and other modifiable risk factors may ultimately be of equal or greater importance for their longevity and quality of life.

Data on a new crop of hormone analogues for weight loss—including an oral version of semaglutide and the triple agent retatrutide—were recently presented at the American Diabetes Association’s annual Scientific Sessions. Robert Gabbay, MD, PhD, the ADA’s chief scientific and medical officer, speaks with JAMA’s Jennifer Abbasi about this and other clinical data presented at the meeting.

💢 Diabetic Foot Ulcers
Approximately 50% to 60% of diabetic foot ulcers become infected, and about 20% of moderate to severe infections lead to lower extremity amputations.
Several interventions reduce risk of ulcers compared with usual care, such as pressure-relieving footwear (13.3% vs 25.4%; relative risk, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.28-0.84), foot skin measurements with off-loading when hot spots (ie, greater than 2 °C difference between the affected foot and the unaffected foot) are found (18.7% vs 30.8%; relative risk, 0.51; 95% CI, 0.31-0.84), and treatment of pre-ulcer signs.
Surgical debridement, reducing pressure from weight bearing on the ulcer, and treating lower extremity ischemia and foot infection are first-line therapies for diabetic foot ulcers.
Approximately 30% to 40% of diabetic foot ulcers heal at 12 weeks, and recurrence after healing is estimated to be 42% at 1 year and 65% at 5 years.

Which of the following is the most appropriate management?
A. Anticoagulation for 3 months
B. Anticoagulation for 6 weeks

💢 اصول رژیم غذایی در کبدچرب غیرالکلی

چهارشنبه ١۴ تیر ١۴٠٢
▫️مداخلات سبک زندگی، از جمله رژیم غذایی و فعالیت بدنی، درمان اصلی بیماری کبد چرب غیرالکلی است.
▫️رژیم مدیترانه ای یا رژیم غذایی مشابه آن، موثرترین رژیم غذایی برای کاهش وزن است.
▫️کاهش 5 تا 7 درصد وزن بدن می تواند استئاتوز را کاهش دهد، در حالی که کاهش 10 درصد وزن می تواند به رفع فیبروز کمک کند.
▫️در سیروز، اصول رژیم غذایی سالم مانند رژیم مدیترانه ای توصیه می شود، با تاکید بر مصرف پروتئین بالا، از جمله افزودن یک میان وعده آخر شب با هدف پر کردن فاصله طولانی شام تا صبحانه.
▫️فعالیت بدنی با شدت هوازی بالا یا متوسط همراه با تمرینات مقاومتی ممکن است وضعیت آنزیم های کبدی بالا، چربی داخل کبدی، کلسترول تام و سطوح تری گلیسیرید را بهبود بخشد.
▫️استفاده از برنامههای مبتنی بر وب برای دنبال کردن مداخلات سبک زندگی سالم برای بیماری کبد چرب غیرالکلی نتایجی مشابه نتایج برنامههای حضوری ایجاد میکند.
