    Abstract Osteoporosis is a silent disorder with dire consequences, and glucocorticoid use remains the most common iatrogenic cause illustrated by the fact that 30% to 50% of subjects on such long-term therapy experience fractures (Oimomi M, Nakamichi T, Ohara T, Sakai M, Igaki N, Hata F, et al. Fructose-related glycation. Diabetes Res Clin Pract 1989;7:137-9; Reid IR. Glucocorticoid osteoporosis--mechanisms and management. Eur J Endocrinol 1997;137:209-17). By directly affecting bone quality while actively used, glucocorticoids increase the risk of fracture that is independent of a subject's bone density status at the time (Weinstein RS. True strength. J Bone Miner Res 2000;15:621-5). A large number of subjects seen in an allergy and immunology clinic have asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, or other chronic inflammatory diseases, necessitating the use of these medications and placing them at higher risk for this disease. Data on the effects of both oral and inhaled glucocorticoids on fracture risk are presented. This review concretizes the importance of osteoporosis, its pathophysiology, and provides practical guidelines to prevent and treat it. Management recommendations are tailored to 2 different age groups. The first group consists of children, adolescents, and adults 40 years or younger with a focus on attaining peak bone mass. The second group consists of adults 40 years or older where the use of imaging modalities and Fracture Risk Assessment Tool scores helps triage subjects into fracture risk categories. Those at moderate to high risk require bone-sparing medications. Universal preventive measures for both groups are reviewed. Complicated and severe cases may need additional expertise by an endocrinologist or rheumatologist.

    Abstract Hormones significantly influence the pathogenesis of asthma, rhinitis, and eczema. This review aims to summarize relevant clinical considerations for practicing allergists and immunologists. The first section reviews the effects of sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. The second concerns insulin production in the context of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. The third concludes with a discussion of thyroid and adrenal pathology in relationship to asthma, rhinitis, and eczema.

    Abstract Background: The prevalence of obesity and diabetes mellitus (DM) has each increased drastically according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Growth of severe insulinresistant DM is predicted. U-500 insulin is highly concentrated and can replace less concentrated formulations in patients that need high insulin dosages. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes of U-500 and U-100 insulin regimens in veterans with obesity and insulin resistance.
    Methods: A single-site retrospective chart analysis of adult subjects was conducted from July 2002 to June 2011. Data for repeated measures spanned a period from 3 months before the intervention (baseline) through 12 months afterward. The main outcome was the variation in hemoglobin A
    Results: A total of 142 subjects (68 taking U-500 and 74 taking U-100) were included. Baseline characteristics were similar between the groups, except for weight, which was higher among U-500 subjects. Mean HbA
    Conclusions: U-500 insulin, when compared with U-100 insulin regimens, led to a statistically significant reduction in HbA

    Abstract Objective Evaluate nutrition literacy in uninsured subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM) who presented to free diabetes management classes.  Design  This single-site, cross-sectional observational study recruited thirty subjects from a free clinic for uninsured patients to attend diabetes mellitus, self-management classes. Before starting the classes, DM care-related data were collected, and subjects were administered the Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument (NLit). The assessment covers six subscales in nutrition and categorizes results into three possible categories: the likelihood of poor nutrition literacy (NLit Score ≤ 44), the possibility of poor nutrition literacy (NLit Score- 45-57), and the likelihood of good nutrition literacy (NLit score ≥ 58).  Results  Median glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) was 7.45% for study participants. The mean NLit score was 38.1 (SD ± 9.4), correlating with a likelihood of poor nutrition literacy. All participants had either likelihood or the possibility of poor nutrition literacy based on the NLit Assessment. There were no participants who scored in the range of likelihood of good nutrition literacy. Subjects who scored in the range of likelihood of poor nutrition literacy had a significantly higher mean HbA1c (8.6 %) than those who scored in the possibility of poor nutrition literacy (6.9 %, p=0.005). Conclusions Poor nutrition literacy is associated with worse glycemic control among uninsured subjects with diabetes mellitus.
