Base excess measured at hospital admission is useful for predicting diabetic ketoacidosis severity and resolution time in adult patients.

Background And Aims: This study aimed to identify the biochemical factors measured at hospital admission that could predict diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) resolution time in adult patients.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study included 79 patients >18 years of age. Multivariate analyses were performed to determine which variables might predict DKA resolution time.

Effects of Local Use of Insulin on Wound Healing in Non-diabetic Patients.

Background: Clinical trials have shown the positive effects of local insulin therapy in the formation of new vessels and fibrosis in acute and chronic diabetic wounds without major adverse effects.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of local insulin use on wound healing in non-diabetic patients.

Methods: A randomized, split-plot, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted.

[Effect of Omega 3 fatty acids on body female obese composition].

Evidence on the possible mechanisms for the use of Omega 3 fatty acids to mediate obesity requires clinical studies continue with specific methodologies. The aim was to assess the effect of omega-3 supplementation on Body Mass Index (BMI), Wais - Hip Index (WHI) and body composition of obese women using bioelectrical impedance. Subjects 60 premenopausal obese women (BMI > 30Kg/m2) were randomly assigned to 3 groups: Group 1) placebo, vitamin E (200 IU), group 2) 1 g of omega and group 3) 2 g of omega-3.

Setting: Mexican Institute Social Security, Family Medicine Unit, primary care level.

Study Design: Controlled clinical trial.
