<b><i>Background:</i></b> Plant-based diets are defined as an eating pattern focused on the consumption of unprocessed fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, oils, and beans. They can include various forms of vegetarian, vegan, DASH, and Mediterranean diets.

Recently, a growing body of literature has emerged regarding plant-based diets for patients with kidney failure, including those on dialysis. Although evidence is still limited, preliminary findings are encouraging. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> This article reviews current literature on the use of plant-based diets in the treatment of patients on dialysis.

Background: Metformin is an oral hypoglycemic agent extensively used as first-line therapy for type 2 diabetes. It improves hyperglycemia by suppressing hepatic glucose production and increasing glucose uptake in muscles. Metformin improves insulin sensitivity and shows a beneficial effect on weight control. Besides its metabolic positive effects, Metformin has direct effects on inflammation and can have immunomodulatory and antineoplastic properties. Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to summarize the up-to-date evidence from the current literature about the metabolic and non-metabolic effects of Metformin. Methods: We reviewed the current literature dealing with different effects and properties of Metformin and current recommendations about the use of this drug. We identified keywords and MeSH terms in Pubmed and the terms Metformin and type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes, pregnancy, heart failure, PCOS, etc, were searched, selecting only significant original articles and review in English, in particular of the last five years. Conclusion: Even if many new effective hypoglycemic agents have been launched in the market in the last few years, Metformin would always keep a place in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and its comorbidities because of its multiple positive effects and low cost.

A growing body of research suggests that alterations to the human microbiome are associated with disease states, including obesity and diabetes. During pregnancy, these disease states are associated with maternal microbial dysbiosis. This review discusses the current literature regarding the typical maternal and offspring microbiome as well as alterations to the microbiome in the context of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and gestational diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, this review outlines the proposed mechanisms linking associations between the maternal microbiome in the aforementioned disease states and offspring microbiome. Additionally, this review highlights associations between alterations in offspring microbiome and postnatal health outcomes.
