Background And Aims: In recent years, scientific interest in triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and remnant cholesterol has increased, focusing on the evidence that these lipoproteins are a causal factor for developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Furthermore, a high remnant concentration (>38 mg/dL) has been associated with several non-cardiovascular risks. We aimed in this study to describe the percentile distribution of remnant cholesterol.

Aims: To compare the efficacy and safety of basal-plus (BP) insulin regimen with or without sitagliptin in non-critically ill patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Methods: This open-label, randomized clinical trial included inpatients with a previous diagnosis of T2D and blood glucose (BG) between 180 and 400 mg/dL. Participants received basal and correctional insulin doses (BP regimen) either with or without sitagliptin.
Objetivo: Presentar las prevalencias de adultos que acudieron a realizarse pruebas de detección de enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles (ECNT) en el año previo, las prevalencias por diagnóstico previo de algunas ECNT, así como la proporción de los que siguen tratamiento farmacológico. Material y métodos. Se analizó la información de los cuestionarios de 11 895 adultos participantes de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición de 2022.

Objective: The purpose was to analyze age-standardized trends in diabetes mortality rates (DMR) from 1998 to 2022, stratified by sex and Mexican state, and the effects attributable to age, period, and cohort by sex.
Study Design: Joinpoint regression and age-period-cohort effect analysis.
Methods: Based on the tenth revision of the International Classification of Diseases, E11, E12, E13, and E14 codes of the death certificate, a daily record of mortality was extracted from the death certificate attributable to diabetes as the main cause.

However, by presenting an immunological challenge to the individual, they could infrequently trigger immune-mediated diseases (IMDs). We report the case of a 42-year-old woman, with no previous medical history, who received the first dose of vaccine against COVID-19 and developed inflammatory arthralgias, associated with sudden-onset dyspnoea and hypoxemia.

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of diabetes (diagnosed and undiagnosed), glycemic control in Mexico, and its associated factors.
Materials And Methods: We used data from Ensanut 2018 (n=12 648) and 2020 (n=2 309). We defined diabetes as fasting glucose ≥126 mg/dl or HbA1c≥6.
Background: Childhood is considered the most important phase of human development; within it the period from birth to 5 years of age is particularly critical, given the speed at which changes occur. The context where children live can influence early childhood developmnent (ECD) by providing or limiting opportunities to learn, play and establish social interactions. This study explored the associations between characteristics of the urban environment and ECD in 2,194 children aged 36 to 59 months living in urban municipalities in Mexico.

Objective: to evaluate the effect of the thyroid profile normalization on the lipid profile in children with primary hypothyroidism.
Background: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) is a prevalent and potentially reversible intermediate stage leading to type 2 diabetes that increases risk for cardiometabolic complications. The identification of clinical and molecular factors associated with the reversal, or regression, from IFG to a normoglycemia state would enable more efficient cardiovascular risk reduction strategies. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and biological predictors of regression to normoglycemia in a non-European population characterized by high rates of type 2 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: With this module and the questionnaire for children under five years-old, indicators of the state of health, development and well-being of children in the first five years of life are obtained. From November to December 2017, the sample design, instruments and manuals were defined and a test was carried out.
