Effect of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on metabolic control in patients with type 2 diabetes: a 5-year cohort follow-up managed by a dynamic multidisciplinary team in Northeastern Mexico.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic brought a radical shift in the healthcare system and suboptimal care for vulnerable patients, such as those with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2D). Therefore, we compared metabolic control and macro/microvascular complications of patients with T2D before and throughout the three-year SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Research Design And Methods: A retrospective observational cohort of subjects with T2D studied from 2018 to 2022 in Northern Mexico was treated by a dynamic multidisciplinary team.

Limb-body wall complex: Literature review and case report.

Introduction: Body wall anomalies comprise a wide range of malformations. Limb-Body wall complex (LBWC) represents the most severe presentation of this group, with life threatening malformations in practically all the cases, including craniofacial, body wall defects, and limb anomalies. There is no consensus about its etiology and folding and gastrulation defects have been involved.
