Evolution of interconsultal activity to endocrinology and nutrition in hospitalization floor in a third level hospital.

Introduction: Endocrinology and Nutrition (EyN) is an outpatient and hospital medical specialty. This study aims to understand the evolution of the activity of interdepartmental consultation (IC) carried out by EyN in hospitalization floor of a third level hospital, comparing its evolution with other medical specialties, and comparing endocrine IC with nutritional IC.

Material And Methods: Longitudinal and retrospective study which analyzes IC notes of EyN and other medical specialties between 01-01-2013 and 31-12-2022.

Impact of ponderal loss after bariatric surgery on the cardiac structure and function.

Introduction And Objective: Excess weight can cause structural and functional cardiac disorders. The presence of left ventricular hypertrophy in the obese patient is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The major aim of the present study is to know the prevalence of cardiac morphofunctional disorders in obese patients, before and after weight loss due to bariatric surgery (BS).

Resistin in morbidly obese patients before and after gastric bypass surgery.

Background And Objectives: Resistin was originally suggested to be a potential mediator of obesity-related insulin resistance in rodents. However, in humans, the role of resistin in obesity and insulin resistance has not yet been demonstrated. The present study investigates whether there are differences in resistin levels between patients with morbid obesity and lean subjects, and analyzes changes in resistin levels after significant weight loss secondary to bariatric surgery.
