Consensus document on the management of hyponatraemia of the Acqua Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition.

Introduction: Hyponatremia is the most prevalent electrolyte disorder in the outpatient and inpatient settings. Despite this frequency, hyponatremia, including severe hyponatremia, is frequently underestimated and inadequately treated, thus highlighting the need to produce consensus documents and clinical practice guidelines geared towards improving the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to it in a structured fashion.

Material And Methods: Members of the Acqua Group of the Spanish Society of Endocrinology and Nutrition (SEEN) met using a networking methodology over a period of 20 months (between October 2019 and August 2021) with the aim of discussing and developing an updated guideline for the management of hyponatraemia.

Quo vadis, Endocrinology and nutrition?

Introduction: In Spain, the system used to select a medical specialty is the MIR (internal resident physician) exam. The MIR selection number may reflect the interest in a given specialty. Our study objective was to confirm the increase in the selection number and to analyze possible factors influencing the decision.

Spanish Diabetes Society (SED) recommendations for the pharmacologic treatment of hyperglycemia in type 2 diabetes: 2018 Update.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) has become a problem of global dimensions by their high and growing prevalence worldwide and the personal and economic costs associated with it. Correct treatment can reduce mortality and associated complications. New concepts have recently been included in routine clinical practice and have changed the algorithm of DM2 pharmacological therapy.

Decontamination of dental implant surface in peri-implantitis treatment: a literature review.

Etiological treatment of peri-implantitis aims to reduce the bacterial load within the peri-implant pocket and decontaminate the implant surface in order to promote osseointegration. The aim of this literature review was to evaluate the efficacy of different methods of implant surface decontamination. A search was conducted using the PubMed (Medline) database, which identified 36 articles including in vivo and in vitro studies, and reviews of different decontamination systems (chemical, mechanical, laser and photodynamic therapies).

Management of malignant insulinoma.

Aim: Malignant insulinoma is an infrequent functional endocrine tumor of the pancreas. Adequate therapy is a demanding challenge for oncologists and endocrinologists.

Objective: To evaluate the results of multidisciplinary management of malignant insulinoma.

[Benefits of a home-based physical exercise program in elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus].

Objective: To analyze the effects of a home-based physical exercise program on quality of life, metabolic control, and anthropometric and biochemical parameters in people over 60 years of age with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods: Eighty-four Spanish patients aged over 60 years were finally randomized to participate in a home-based, combined physical exercise program (aerobic and anaerobic exercises) or to receive conventional treatment for diabetes. At 6 months, effects on quality of life (EuroQoL questionnaire).

Everolimus resolving hypoglycemia, producing hyperglycemia, and necessitating insulin use in a patient with diabetes and nonresectable malignant insulinoma.

Objective: To present a case of management of refractory hypoglycemia due to malignant insulinoma with use of everolimus, resulting in recurrent insulin-requiring diabetes.

Methods: This report describes a case of a nonresectable malignant insulinoma in a 78-year-old patient with long-standing type 2 diabetes mellitus. Endogenous hyperinsulinism was confirmed by a fasting test, which revealed a glucose level of 35 mg/dL and an insulin value of 23.

[Optimal timing of insulin detemir injection in patients with type 1 diabetes and poor metabolic control].

Aim: To compare different administration times of insulin detemir (IDet) in patients with type 1 diabetes and poor metabolic control.

Material And Methods: This 24-week open study included 39 people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) randomized to one injection of IDet before lunch (mean 14.24 + or - 00.

Implant treatment in patients with osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is very common, particularly in post-menopausal women and is characterized by a decrease in bone mass and strength. Osteoporosis also affects the jawbone and it is considered a potential contraindication to placement of dental implants. The present paper reviews the literature regarding the effect of osteoporosis on osseointegration of implants.

[An ambulatory physical exercise program improves in the short term weight and quality of life of obese post-menopausal women].

Objectives: To evaluate the effects of an ambulatory physical exercise program on the quality of life, anthropometric and biochemical parameters in obese post-menopausal women.

After three months, effects on quality of life were evaluated (test Euroqol, Rosenberg and subjective evaluation of health), weight, BMI, waist perimeter and fat mass, and biochemical parameters.

Efficacy of atorvastatin for achieving cholesterol targets after LDL-cholesterol based dose selection in patients with type 2 diabetes.

We analyzed the feasibility of an intensive lipid-lowering strategy based on a starting dose of atorvastatin according to baseline and target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level (<2.6 mmol/L) in 202 statin-naïve patients with type 2 diabetes within 24 weeks. They were assigned to receive a daily dosage of atorvastatin based on their initial LDL-C levels.
