Apart from insulin, physical exercise is a crucial component of therapy in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The benefits of physical activity in such patients include improved insulin sensitivity, lowered blood glucose, reduced body fat and improved cardiovascular function and physical performance. Hypoglycemia is a crucial issue in the peri-training period in insulin-treated patients.

Risk prediction of MACCE in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has vital role in clinical practice. We aimed to assess prognostic value of these indices following AMI.

We present a case of a 63-year-old patient who at first underwent a total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a metal-on-metal bearing due to hip arthrosis. Follow-up visits revealed no complications after the procedure.

Novel markers of insulin resistance and progression of atherosclerosis include the triglycerides and glucose index (TyG index), the triglycerides and body mass index (Tyg-BMI) and the metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR). Establishing independent risk factors for in-hospital death and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) remains critical.
