Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risk: an update of the recommendations of the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease Working Group of the Spanish Society of Diabetes (SED, 2021).

This document is an update to the clinical practice recommendations for the management of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in diabetes mellitus. The consensus has been developed by a multidisciplinary team made up of members of the Cardiovascular Risk Group of the Spanish Diabetes Society (SED). The work is a necessary update as, since the last review three years ago, there have been many clinical trials that have studied the cardiovascular outcomes of numerous drugs in the diabetic population.

Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risk: Update of the recommendations of the Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease working group of the Spanish Diabetes Society (SED, 2018).

This document is an update to the clinical practice recommendations for the management of cardiovascular risk factors in diabetes mellitus. The consensus is made by members of the Cardiovascular Risk Group of the Spanish Diabetes Society. We have proposed and updated interventions on lifestyle, pharmacological treatment indicated to achieve therapeutic objectives according to the levels of HbA1c, degree of obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, heart failure, platelet antiagregation, renal insufficiency, and diabetes in the elderly, as well as new biomarkers of interest in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk in individuals with diabetes mellitus.

Translation and validation of the Diabetes Eating Problem Survey to screen eating disorders in patients with type-1 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: The treatment of type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) requires changes in patients' eating habits and lifestyles which could lead to the development of an eating disorder (ED). An early detection of these disorders in subjects with T1DM is necessary. However, there is no specific questionnaire concerning the presence of an ED in these patients.

[Diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular risk: Working group recommendations of Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease of the Spanish Society of Diabetes (SED, 2015)].

The present paper updates the Clinical Practice Recommendations for the management of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in diabetes mellitus. This is a medical consensus agreed by an independent panel of experts from the Spanish Society of Diabetes (SED). Several consensuses have been proposed by scientific and medical Societies to achieve clinical goals.

Differential effect of oral dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate on metabolic syndrome features in pre- and postmenopausal obese women.

Objective: To analyze the effect in obese pre- and postmenopausal women of a daily dose of 100 mg dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate (DHEA-S) provided over a period of 3 months as replacement therapy against metabolic syndrome.

Context: Although DHEA-S appears to be effective against certain features of metabolic syndrome, its usefulness against this syndrome as a whole has not been evaluated to date.

Design/patients: A randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted involving 61 postmenopausal women, who received DHEA-S (n = 41) or placebo (n = 20) for 3 months.

Relation between degree of obesity and site-specific adipose tissue fatty acid composition in a Mediterranean population.

Objective: Obesity itself could be a key factor determining fatty acid (FA) composition of adipose tissue (AT). A Mediterranean diet influences this relationship. However, a relation between different overweight and obesity levels (including morbidly obese subjects) and AT FA pattern has not been fully established.

[Toxic intrathoracic goiter. Clinical profile and surgical morbidity in an endocrine surgery unit].

Background: The development of postsurgical complications is exacerbated when several risk factors coincide in the same patient.

Objective: To analyze the results of surgery for toxic intrathoracic goiter in terms of (a) the need for sternotomy; (b) morbidity and mortality; and (c) remission of compressive symptoms.

Material And Methods: A review (1980-2002) was carried out of 43 cases of toxic intrathoracic multinodular goiter according to Eschapase's definition (3 cm below the sternal manubrium) occurring in patients without previous thyroid surgery who underwent total thyroidectomy.

Surgical management of multinodular goiter with compression symptoms.

Hypothesis: Multinodular goiter (MG) with compression symptoms has a clinical profile different from that of goiter without these symptoms. The surgical treatment of MG with compression symptoms has a high rate of sternotomy and morbidity.

Design: Retrospective study conducted between 1970 and 1999.

Utility of fine-needle aspiration for diagnosis of carcinoma associated with multinodular goitre.

Background: Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is a useful method for evaluating a solitary thyroid nodule; however, this is not an agreed method for a multinodular goitre (MNG). The aim of this study was to assess the utility of preoperative FNA for detecting malignancy in MNG.

Patients And Method: We analysed operated MNGs in which FNA had been performed.

[Comparative study of the type of obesity in pre- and postmenopausal women: Relationship with fat cell data, fatty acid composition and endocrine, metabolic, nutritional and psychological variables].

Background: The weight increase that many women experience during menopause may be the result of ageing. However, the precise factors inducing obesity during this period remain to be identified. The object of this study was to determine the type of obesity in a group of women along with its distinctive features, if any, as a function of the menopause stage.
