In their recent commentary discussing insulin hypersecretion, Mittendorfer et al. (1) presented two hypotheses in Fig. 2. In one, it is postulated that obesity-related insulin resistance could be due to primary increased insulin secretion. This would occur because increased insulin concentrations would lead to decreased numbers of surface insulin receptors (due to intracellular translocation of the bound receptors after binding to insulin).

To the Editor: We applaud the authors on their comparative analysis of income trends of family physicians nationwide, an important topic, well-timed amid the rising cost of living and skyrocketing debts across the primary care workforce.1 With increasing shortage in primary care physicians, a key driver that may be exacerbating this shortage is the lower income of primary care specialties when compared with the earnings of subspecialists.

AbstractThis retrospective study evaluated the efficacy and safety of intraoperative methadone compared with short-acting opioids. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (n=11 967) from 2018 to 2023 from a single health system were categorised into groups based on intraoperative opioid administration: no methadone (Group O), methadone plus other opioids (Group M+O), and methadone only (Group M).
