    Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has affected schooling worldwide. In many places, schools closed for weeks or months, only part of the student body could be educated at any one time, or students were taught online. Previous research discloses the relevance of schooling for the development of cognitive abilities. We therefore compared the intelligence test performance of 424 German secondary school students in Grades 7 to 9 (42% female) tested after the first six months of the COVID-19 pandemic (i.e., 2020 sample) to the results of two highly comparable student samples tested in 2002 (n = 1506) and 2012 (n = 197). The results revealed substantially and significantly lower intelligence test scores in the 2020 sample than in both the 2002 and 2012 samples. We retested the 2020 sample after another full school year of COVID-19-affected schooling in 2021. We found mean-level changes of typical magnitude, with no signs of catching up to previous cohorts or further declines in cognitive performance. Perceived stress during the pandemic did not affect changes in intelligence test results between the two measurements.

    Abstract Glinides represent a chemically heterogeneous new class of insulin-secreting agents characterized by a rapid onset and short duration of action. They act by closure of the ATP-dependant K channel. Repaglinide, the only glinide available in France, has an equivalent HbA1c lowering effect to conventional sulfonylureas but reduces predominantly postprandial glucose levels. Several studies indicate a decreased risk of hypoglycaemias, particularly nocturnal or in case of a shift or omission of a meal. This drug appears particularly useful in early stage type 2 diabetes or in combination with metformin. The only significant drug-drug interaction concerns gemfibrozil. Due to its hepatic metabolism and biliary elimination, repaglinide can be used in patients with renal insufficiency. Nateglinide has a even shorter duration of action and has almost no effect on fasting plasma glucose levels. For this reason, this drug is only indicated in combination with metformin in the countries where it is licensed. Several experimental data suggest that glinides could preserve B cell function over time better than hypoglycaemic sulfonylureas, and that the improvement of post-prandial glucose levels could exert a long term protective cardiovascular effect.

    Abstract Hypertension is a major vascular risk factor in the elderly diabetic. The benefit of proper management is well recognized, even if treatment has no influence on overall mortality or might even tend to increase it in very elderly subjects. Globally, the efficacy of the major classes of antihypertensive drugs, diuretics, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors, or angiotensin II receptor antagonists appears to be equivalent so that the therapeutic choice depends on the type of hypertension, systolic or systolic-diastolic, and the rapidity of the desired effect, co-morbid conditions, particularly coronary or renal disease, or drug tolerance. Blood pressure goals are similar to those in middle-aged persons, except in very old, frail or sick subjects.

    Title translation Should type 2 diabetes prevention pharmacological studies prompt us to change our prescription habits?.
    Abstract Type 2 diabetes (T2D), a major public health problem in all parts of the world, is preceded by an identifiable phase of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) during which a therapeutic intervention aimed at preventing the glycaemic decompensation can be considered. The efficacy of a diet resulting in a weight loss and even more of an exercise program has been clearly established, but the long term continuation of these measures is difficult in real life conditions. So, pharmacological interventions on insulin resistance and B cell dysfunction, the major pathophysiologic components of the disease have been tested. A relative risk reduction of conversion from IG to T2D has been obtained with metformin in the Diabetes Prevention Program, but this effect seems to be directly linked to the antihyperglycaemic effect of the drug. Likewise, the relative risk reduction of 25% with acarbose in the Stop-NIDDM trial results more from a short term therapeutic effect than from an action in depth on the mechanisms leading to the glycaemic decompensation. This might does not be the case with troglitazone in the TRIPOD trial, since the protection conferred by this drug largely exceeds the treatment period and the B cell function appears to be preserved. However, these results should be confirmed in larger and more common populations of IGT. Finally, the practical carrying out of a prevention program at the scale of a whole population raises several unsolved problems.

    Title translation Thiazolidinediones: clinical data and perspectives.
    Abstract This brief review realizes a synthesis of the main clinical studies of the three thiazolidinediones (TZDs) which have been launched elsewhere, troglitazone, rosiglitazone and pioglitazone. At optimal dose, the three molecules have a similar effect, although slightly weaker for the first, on the fasting plasma glucose and HbA1c levels. They exhibit identical activity, or even higher for troglitazone, in combination with sulfonylureas, metformine and insulin. On the contrary, the three TZDs seem to differentiate according to their effects on lipid metabolism. While rosiglitazone only moderately and inconstantly reduces plasma triglycerides, troglitazone and pioglitazone decreases them by 15 to 25%. LDL-cholesterol levels are almost unaffected by pioglitazone while they increase by 6 to 8% with troglitazone and by more than 10% with rosiglitazone. On the other hand, HDL-cholesterol strongly increases with rosiglitazone and pioglitazone and only slightly on troglitazone. Besides these metabolic effects, TZDs have several properties which could be of therapeutical interest, particularly a possible beta cell protective effect. Except for the severe problems of hepatotoxicity which appear specific to troglitazone and have led to its withdrawal, TZDs are well tolerated. They share as major undesirable effects a risk of peripheral oedema, of anemia due to plasma volume expansion and of weight gain due to the development of subcutaneous adipose tissue. Until now, the European Product licence of rosiglitazone and pioglitazone is limited to the combination with metformin in case of failure of a monotherapy with metformin in obese type 2 diabetic patients and to the combination with a sulphonylurea only in case of intolerance or contra-indication to metformin in type 2 diabetics insufficiently controlled by sulphonylurea therapy at maximal tolerated dose. These indications will probably be enlarged to earlier treatments when long term study results will be available.
