Clinical, glycometric features and treatment in a family with monogenic diabetes due to a new mutation in the insulin gene.

Monogenic diabetes caused by changes in the gene that encodes insulin (INS) is a very rare form of monogenic diabetes (<1%). The aim of this work is to describe the clinical and glycaemic control characteristics over time from four members of a family diagnosed with monogenic diabetes with the novel mutation: c.206del,p.

Clinical Evaluation of an Artificial Intelligence-Based Decision Support System for the Diagnosis and American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System Classification of Thyroid Nodules.

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical impact of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision support system (DSS), Koios DS, on the analysis of ultrasound imaging and suspicious characteristics for thyroid nodule risk stratification. A retrospective ultrasound study was conducted on all thyroid nodules with histological findings from June 2021 to December 2022 in a thyroid nodule clinic. The diagnostic performance of ultrasound imaging was evaluated by six readers on the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (ACR TI-RADS) before and after the use of the AI-based DSS and by AI itself.

Glycemia Risk Index Assessment in a Pediatric and Adult Patient Cohort With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.

Background: To evaluate the glycemia risk index (GRI) as a new glucometry in pediatric and adult populations with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in clinical practice.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of 202 patients with T1D receiving intensive treatment with insulin (25.2% continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion [CSII]) and intermittent scanning (flash) glucose monitoring (isCGM).

[A real-world study to evaluate a peptidic oral supplement in adults with altered intestinal function after parenteral nutrition].

Objectives: in routine clinical practice many disorders are found that can disrupt the sequence of reactions in digestion and absorption, leading to malnutrition and requiring the use of oral nutritional supplements (ONS). The objective of our study was to evaluate in a real world setting the use of and compliance with a peptide-based ONS in malnourished adult patients with intestinal compromise after more than 14 days of parenteral nutrition. Material and methods: the study was carried out in 44 malnourished patients who required total parenteral nutrition for at least 14 days without using the oral route during their hospital stay.

ACYL-CoA synthetase long-chain 5 polymorphism is associated with weight loss and metabolic changes in response to a partial meal-replacement hypocaloric diet.

Aims:to analyze the effects of the rs2419621 genetic variant of the ACSL5 gene on weight change and metabolic parameters after a partial meal-replacement hypocaloric diet. Methods: this was a non-randomized, single-treatment study with a formula-diet in 44 obese subjects with body mass index (BMI) greater than 35 kg/m2. Patients received nutritional education and a modified diet with two intakes of a normocaloric hyperproteic formula during 3 months.

[Effect of a Mediterranean-pattern diet on the metabolic response secondary to weight loss; role of the single nucleotide polymorphism (rs16147) of neuropeptide Y].

Background and aims: intervention studies that evaluate the effect of rs16147 on metabolic response and weight change after dietary intervention are scarce. We propose to evaluate the role of the rs16147 genetic variant in the metabolic effects produced by a hypocaloric Mediterranean-pattern diet with high content of omega-9. Material and methods: a sample of 363 obese subjects was recruited.

Structural Study of the Compounds Formed in the Reactions of FeCl·6HO with Ni(OH) in the Presence of Dithiolenes HSRSH (R = CHCl or CH).

In our attempts to prepare coordination polymers by reaction of FeCl·6HO and Ni(OH) in the presence of dithiolenes HSCHXSH (X = Cl or H), several ion pairs of compounds containing the anionic entity [Ni(SCHXS)] were obtained instead. It was also found that other species without dithiolene ligands were formed in these reactions, giving rise to different ion pairs and a tetrametallic cluster. The careful isolation of the different types of crystalline solids allowed the characterization of all of the resulting compounds by single crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD).

[The rs10401670 variant of the resistin gene is related to circulating resistin levels, insulin resistance, and presence of type-2 diabetes mellitus in obese patients].

Background: the SNP 3´UTR C/T (rs10401670) of the RETN gene is a polymorphism that has been associated with the presence of type-2 diabetes mellitus in a single work in the literature. Objective: the objective of our study was to evaluate the influence of this resistin gene SNP (rs10401670) on the serum levels of resistin, as well as on the presence of type-2 diabetes mellitus in obese subjects and on insulin resistance. Material and methods: a Caucasian population of 653 obese subjects was analyzed.

[Relation of variant rs180077 of gen cholesterol ester transfer protein variant, with fat mass, HDL-cholesterol in obese subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2].

Background: There is few evidence of cholesterol ester transfer protein (CETP) in subjects with obesity and diabetes mellitus.

Objectives: We examined the association of the polymorphism (rs1800777) of CETP gene on anthropometric parameters, lipid profile and adipokines in subjects with obesity and diabetes mellitus type 2.

Material And Methods: A population of 229 obese subjects with diabetes mellitus type 2 was enrolled.

Unprecedented layered coordination polymers of dithiolene group 10 metals: magnetic and electrical properties.

One-pot reactions between Ni(ii), Pd(ii) or Pt(ii) salts and 3,6-dichloro-1,2-benzenedithiol (HSC6H2Cl2SH) in KOH medium under argon lead to a series of bis-dithiolene coordination polymers. X-ray analysis shows the presence of a common square planar complex [M(SC6H2Cl2S)2](2-) linked to potassium cations forming either a two-dimensional coordination polymer network for {[K2(μ-H2O)2(μ-thf)(thf)2][M(SC6H2Cl2S)2]}n [M = Ni () and Pd ()] or a one-dimensional coordination polymer for {[K2(μ-H2O)2(thf)6][Pt(SC6H2Cl2S)2]}n (). In the coordination environment of the potassium ions may slightly change leading to the two-dimensional coordination polymer {[K2(μ-H2O)(μ-thf)2][Pt(SC6H2Cl2S)2]}n () that crystallizes together with .

New insights into the chemistry of di- and trimetallic iron dithiolene derivatives. Structural, Mössbauer, magnetic, electrochemical and theoretical studies.

Reaction of Fe3(CO)12 with 1,2-dithiolene HSC6H2Cl2SH affords a mixture of complexes [Fe2(CO)6(μ-SC6H2Cl2S)] 1, [Fe2(SC6H2Cl2S)4] 2 and [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-SC6H2Cl2S)2] 3. In the course of the reaction the trimetallic cluster 3 is first formed and then converted into the known dinuclear compound 1 to afford finally the neutral diiron tetrakis(dithiolato) derivative 2. Compounds 2 and 3 have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography and theoretical calculations.

Electrical bistability around room temperature in an unprecedented one-dimensional coordination magnetic polymer.

The synthesis, crystal structure, and physical properties of an unprecedented one-dimensional (1D) coordination polymer containing [Fe2(S2C6H2Cl2)4](2-) entities bridged by dicationic [K2(μ-H2O)2(THF)4](2+) units are described. The magnetic properties show that the title compound presents pairwise Fe-Fe antiferromagnetic interactions that can be well reproduced with a S = 1/2 dimer model with an exchange coupling, J = -23 cm(-1). The electrical conductivity measurements show that the title compound is a semiconductor with an activation energy of about 290 meV and two different transitions, both with large hysteresis of about 60 and 30 K at 260-320 K and 350-380 K, respectively.
