Nursing workload. Calculation of cardiovascular risk and therapeutic objectives.

Therapeutic intervention should be determined by the risk of developing atheromatous cardiovascular disease (CVD). The higher the risk, the more intense the action should be. This is the reason for the stratification of patient risk.

Persistent hypoglycemia due to an IGF-II-secreting malignant pheochromocytoma: a case report and literature review.

A malignant pheochromocytoma with IGF-II-mediated hypoglycemia is reported; although treatment was cumbersome and evolution unfortunate, this diagnosis must be kept in mind when dealing with NICTH's differential diagnosis.

[Cardiovascular risk factor progression in young males at 15-year follow-up in the General Military Academy of Zaragoza (AGEMZA) Study].

Introduction And Objectives: The AGEMZA cohort comprises military men whose risk factors were studied in 1985 when they were 20 years old. As these men reached the age of 35 years, we investigated the stability of or changes in anthropometric measures, lipid levels and arterial pressure, and looked for interrelationships between any changes.

Methods: In 2000, we collected new data (by cross-sectional study) on body mass index (BMI), cholesterol, cholesterol fractions, triglycerides and blood pressure, which could be compared with the original data.
