Aim: To compare glycemic control and maternal-fetal outcomes of women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using Minimed™ 780G (MM780G) with those women using Minimed™ 640G (MM640G) since before pregnancy.

Methods: Multicenter prospective cohort study of pregnant women with T1D in Spain. We evaluated HbA1c, time spent within (TIRp), below (TBRp) and above (TARp) the pregnancy-specific glucose range 3.

Background: Oral carcinoma cuniculatum (CC) is a rare variant of squamous cell carcinoma. It exhibits a locally aggressive behaviour, and its histopathology poses a diagnostic challenge, as it can be mistaken for other conditions. We present five cases of oral CC treated at our institution and conduct a comprehensive review of the current literature.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share many pathophysiological factors including genetics, but whether epigenetic marks are shared is unknown. We aimed to test whether a DNA methylation risk score (MRS) for T2DM was associated with GDM across ancestry and GDM criteria.

Methods: In two independent pregnancy cohorts, EPIPREG (n = 480) and EPIDG (n = 32), DNA methylation in peripheral blood leukocytes was measured at a gestational age of 28 ± 2.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs)/exosomes are nanosized membrane-bound structures that are released by virtually all cells. EVs have attracted great attention in the scientific community since the discovery of their roles in cell-to-cell communication. EVs' enclosed structure protects bioactive molecules from degradation in the extracellular space and targets specific tissues according to the topography of membrane proteins.

This study aims to compare the use of Bemiparin vs Enoxaparin in patients undergoing microvascular head and neck reconstruction, analyzing the incidence of flap thrombotic complications and local bleeding that could compromise the flap survival. This is an observational study on a group of 204 patients who underwent a microvascular flap for head and neck reconstruction at the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department of Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid, Spain. A group of 67 patients was treated according to a protocol for postoperative prophylaxis of thromboembolism with Bemiparin, which was compared with data collected retrospectively from a group of 137 patients treated with Enoxaparin.
