Endocrinol Diabetes Nutr (Engl Ed)
February 2020
Background And Objective: Dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors in cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2). The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors associated with dyslipidemia in the population with diabetes mellitus type 2 in the region of Cantabria.
Material And Methods: This is a transversal study carried out at Cantabrian primary health care centres (n=680).
Optimization of the follow-up of pregnant women with autoimmune thyroid disease.
Endocrinol Diabetes Nutr (Engl Ed)
May 2019
Objective: To determine the risk of hypothyroidism in pregnant women with autoimmune thyroid disease and thyrotropin (TSH) < 2,5 mIU/l at the beginning of pregnancy.
Methods: Prospective longitudinal study of pregnant women with no personal history of thyroid disease, and with TSH < 2.5 mIU/l in the first trimester.
Article Synopsis
- Hürthle cell carcinoma (HCC) is a rare type of thyroid cancer that is traditionally seen as a variant of follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC), and this study compares the clinical factors and outcomes between the two.
- The research involved 230 patients over an average follow-up of 13.4 years, revealing that HCC patients were older and had more advanced cancer stages, along with a higher occurrence of recurrence and metastases.
- Despite these differences, when controlling for factors like age, tumor size, and histological subtype, the rates of disease-free survival were found to be similar between HCC and FTC patients.
Background: Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) have an increased risk of celiac disease (CD). Since CD can be seronegative, more sensible tests for detection are needed. In seronegative patients, CD diagnosis may be difficult because of a lack of specificity.

Med Clin (Barc)
July 2017
Background And Objective: Stress hyperglycemia has been associated with a worse prognosis in patients hospitalized in critical care units. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels on the mortality of patients suffering a acute cerebro-vascular event, and to determine if this relationship depends on the presence of diabetes.
Material And Methods: A retrospective analysis of 255 patients admitted to the ER for stroke was performed.
Celiac disease (CD) presents a wide clinical spectrum. There are asymptomatic or oligosymptomatic forms, which are difficult to diagnose. Since patients with untreated CD can develop severe complications, early diagnosis of these forms is important.

Design: We prospectively studied 400 patients (365 women, 35 men) aged 46 years (18-89) with nodular thyroid disease and initial benign fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). Reaspiration of the same nodule was performed in a median follow-up time of 14 months (6-18).
