GALIPDIA study: Reaching lipid targets in a population with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) from the Northwest of Spain.

Aim: To assess the degree of compliance with the European ESC/EAS 2016 and 2019 dyslipidaemia guidelines in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods: Multicentre retrospective cross-sectional study, conducted in 380 adults with T2DM and dyslipidaemia in 7 Spanish health areas.

Inclusion Criteria: minimum follow-up of one year in Endocrinology Units, at least one visit in 2020 and a lipid profile measurement in the last 3 months.

The challenge of diabetes home control in COVID-19 times: Proof is in the pudding.

SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had changed self-care in diabetes. The aim of this work is to analyze the effect of lockdown on glycemic control in people with type 1 diabetes on multiple daily insulin injections using FGM. During lockdown no deleterious effect on glycemic control measured by FGM.

Intestinal absorption and pancreatic function are preserved in anorexia nervosa patients in both a severely malnourished state and after recovery.

Introduction: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is characterised by a refusal to normal body weight accompanied by a marked restriction of food intake, frequently leading to severe malnutrition. In severe malnutrition and wasting syndromes, mucosal atrophy, altered gastrointestinal motility and pancreatic atrophy, which alter digestive function and can exacerbate malnutrition, have been described. The objective of this work was to determine intestinal absorption and pancreatic function in severely malnourished AN patients before and after recovery.

Should the amounts of fat and protein be taken into consideration to calculate the lunch prandial insulin bolus? Results from a randomized crossover trial.

Background: Concerning continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII), there are controversial results related to changes in glycemic response according to the meal composition and bolus design. Our aim is to determine whether the presence of protein and fat in a meal could involve a different postprandial glycemic response than that obtained with only carbohydrates (CHs).

Subjects And Methods: This was a crossover, randomized clinical trial.

[Benefits of subcutaneous continuous insulin infusion in type 1 diabetic patients with high glycemic variability].

Background: Hypoglycemia limits the efficacy of intensive insulin therapy, especially in patients with great glucose variability. The extent to which continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) overcomes this limitation is unclear. Our aim was to determine whether CSII is helpful for decreasing glucose variability and hypoglycemia, mainly in patients with the greatest variability.

Long term treatment of a thyrotropin-secreting microadenoma with somatostatin analogues.

Thyrotropin (TSH) secreting pituitary adenomas (TSH-omas) account for < 1% of all pituitary adenomas and are a rare cause of hyperthyroidism. The diagnosis is often made at the stage of macroadenoma because of the aggressive nature of the tumor and due to the fact that patients are mistakenly treated for more common primary hyperthyroidism for a long time. First line therapy is transsphenoidal resection of the tumor, which can cure one-third of the patients completely.

Isolated idiopathic central hypothyroidism in an adult, possibly caused by thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) deficiency.

Central hypothyroidism (Central H) is mainly due to acquired lesions, either in the pituitary, the hypothalamus or both, and in such cases it is usually associated with deficient secretion of ther pituitary hormones. Isolated central hypothyroidism (I Central H) remains a very rare disease. By the use of the serum thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) assay as an initial screening test for thyroid disease, the diagnosis of I, Central H can be missed or delayed, since most of these patients have normal or even slightly high serum TSH concentrations.

[A serious adverse effect: sepsis due to carbimazole].

Thyonamides are widely used drugs to treat hyperthyroidism, because of their efficacy and security. However, although with less frequency, they can cause hepatic and haemathologic toxicity. Neutropenia produced for this kind of drugs, can be very serious, to such an extent it may jeopardize patient's life.

Unilateral adrenal incidentaloma as a presentation of adrenal tuberculosis.

Adrenal incidentalomas are adrenal masses detected during radiologic examination performed for an indication otherthan evaluation of adrenal disease. Diagnosis of these masses has increased due to the widespread use of ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging. We report the case of a 69-year-old woman with a left adrenal incidentaloma simulating a non-functioning adenoma and right adrenal atrophy.
