Frailty Detection in Older Adults with Diabetes: A Scoping Review of Assessment Tools and Their Link to Key Clinical Outcomes.

With the increasing prevalence of diabetes and frailty among older adults, there is an urgent need for precision medicine that incorporates comprehensive geriatric assessments, including frailty detection. This scoping review aims to map and synthesize the available evidence on validated tools for detecting pre-frailty and frailty in community-dwelling elderly individuals with diabetes and outpatient diabetes patients. Specifically, it addresses: (1) What validated tools are available for detecting pre-frailty and frailty in this population? (2) How are these tools associated with outcomes such as glycemic control, hypoglycemia, and metabolic phenotypes? (3) What gaps exist in the literature regarding these tools? The review followed PRISMA-ScR guidelines, conducting a systematic search across PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science.

Posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism. Prevalence and predictive markers. Comparison between patients with euthyroid and hyperthyroid nodular goitre.

Background And Objective: Posthemithyroidectomy hypothyroidism (PHH) is a relatively common complication (22%-30%) for which we have no published information from our country. The objective of the study is to determine the prevalence of PHH and evaluate its predictive markers by comparing patients who had euthyroidism with those who had hyperthyroidism before hemithyroidectomy.

Patients And Method: Retrospective observational cross-sectional study on 106 patients, 88 euthyroid before hemithyroidectomy and 18 hyperthyroid.

Prospective Study to Evaluate Rectus Femoris Muscle Ultrasound for Body Composition Analysis in Patients Undergoing Bariatric Surgery.

Bariatric surgery (BS) has a significant impact on body composition (BC) and consequently may affect established sarcopenic obesity (SO) in candidate patients. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of muscle ultrasound (MUS) of rectus femoris thickness (RFT) for the evaluation of BC and skeletal muscle function in patients undergoing BS compared to bioimpedance analysis (BIA), dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and dynamometry. On the other hand, we aimed to demonstrate how MUS of RFT correlates with quality of life (QoL) in this population, likely due to its ability to detect regional quadriceps muscle sarcopenia compared to the other mentioned methods.

Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism after successful parathyroidectomy for single parathyroid adenoma: Prevalence, etiological factors, predictive markers, treatment and evolution.

Background And Objective: Postparathyroidectomy normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism (PPNCHPPT) is a frequent situation for which we have no information in our country. The objective is to know our prevalence of PPNCHPPT, the associated etiological factors, the predictive markers, the treatment administered and the evolution.

Patients And Method: Retrospective observational cross-sectional study on 42 patients.

Role of Muscle Ultrasound for the Study of Frailty in Elderly Patients with Diabetes: A Pilot Study.

Background: Sarcopenia and diabetes contribute to the development of frailty. Therefore, accessible methods, such as muscle ultrasounds (MUSs), to screen for sarcopenia should be implemented in clinical practice.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional pilot study including 47 patients with diabetes (mean age: 77.
