Enhancing identification and treatment of patients with concomitant chronic venous insufficiency and diabetes mellitus. A modified Delphi study from the CODAC (ChrOnic venous disease and Diabetes Advisory Council) group.

Background: Chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and diabetes mellitus (DM) pose significant burdens to patients and healthcare systems. While the two diseases share a number of commonalities in risk factors and pathophysiology, they are often assessed and managed separately. This can lead to a worsening of comorbidities and limitations in a patient's quality of life.

Familial hypercholesterolemia in Mexico: Initial insights from the national registry.

Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) remains underdiagnosed and undertreated.

Objective: Report the results of the first years (2017-2019) of the Mexican FH registry.

Methods: There are 60 investigators, representing 28 federal states, participating in the registry.

FASTING INSULIN AND ALANINE AMINO TRANSFERASE, BUT NOT FGF21, WERE INDEPENDENT PARAMETERS RELATED WITH IRISIN INCREMENT AFTER INTENSIVE AEROBIC EXERCISING.

Background: Irisin is a protein cleaved from fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 and has been implicated in the beneficial effects of exercise. However, it is unknown which factors contribute to irisin increment after intensive exercising in humans. This study aimed to assess independent factors related with serum irisin after 2 weeks of supervised physical activity in young sedentary healthy women.

SGLT2 Inhibitors in Diabetes Mellitus Treatment.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic illness with high prevalence in Mexico, Latin- America, and the world and is associated to high morbidity, disability, and mortality rate, especially in developing countries. T2DM physiopathology is very complex; insulin resistance in the muscle, liver, and adipose tissue, a reduction in the production of incretins (mainly GLP-1) in the intestine, increased glucagon synthesis, an insufficient response of insulin generation, and increased glucose reabsorption in the kidney lead all together to an hyperglycemic state, which has been closely associated with the development of micro and macrovascular complications. Sodium Glucose Linked Transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are the most recent therapeutic class available for treating T2DM.
