Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is accompanied by chronic low-grade inflammation, with an imbalance in the secretion of adipokines and, worsening insulin resistance. Supplementation with 3 PUFA in T2DM decreases inflammatory markers, the purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of 3 PUFA supplementation on adipokines, metabolic control, and lipid profile in T2DM Mexican adults.
Methods: In a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, 54 patients with T2DM received 520 mg of DHA + EPA-enriched fish-oil (FOG) or a placebo (PG) daily.
Diet and exercise are primary strategies recommended for the control of the obesity epidemic. Considerable attention is being paid to the effect of both on the immune system. However, little research has been done on the effect of diet, nutrients or exercise on the mucosal immune system.

Thus, vasodilatation produced by secondary sympathetic block to lumbar epidural blockade favors control of high blood pressure in patients with severe preeclampsia.
Objective: Our objective was to evaluate whether lumbar epidural blockade with bupivacaine 0.
Objective: To determine the relationship between erythrocyte deformations and preeclampsia-eclampsia syndrome before presentation of the triad high blood pressure-edema-proteinuria.
Material And Methods: Aleatory study. A total of 308 patients were studied without evidence of preeclampsia, with negative erythrocyte deformation smear, between 12 and 18 weeks of pregnancy.
