Biomarkers of oxidation, inflammation and intestinal permeability in persons with diabetes mellitus with parenteral nutrition: A multicenter randomized trial.

Background And Aims: Parenteral nutrition (PN) composition could play a role in the management of systemic inflammatory response and intestinal barrier disruption. We aimed to evaluate changes in biomarkers of inflammation, oxidative status and intestinal permeability in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who received different PN lipid formulas.

Methods: This was a prospective study, including 94 patients with T2DM who received omega (n)-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)-enriched PN, a mixture of medium and long chain triglycerides (MCT/LCT) PN, or an olive oil-based PN.

Glycemic Risk Index in a Cohort of Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Stratified by the Coefficient of Variation: A Real-Life Study.

: To analyze the Glycemic Risk Index (GRI) and assess their possible differences according to coefficient of variation (CV) in a cohort of real-life type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) patient users of intermittently scanned continuous glucose monitoring (isCGM). : In total, 447 adult users of isCGM with an adherence ≥70% were included in a cross-sectional study. GRI was calculated with its hypoglycemia (CHypo) and hyperglycemia (CHyper) components.

Factors associated with Glycemia Risk Index in a cohort of patients with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes In Adults (LADA).

Objective: To analyze the degree of control based on classical glucometric parameters and Glycemia Risk Index (GRI) in real-life conditions in a cohort of patients with type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA) and to assess the factors that are associated with GRI.

Patients And Methods: Cross-sectional study. 447 adult patients with type 1 DM and LADA users of Intermittent Continuous Glucose Monitoring (iCGM) with an adherence ≥ 70% were included.

All-cause mortality and risk factors in patients with type 1 diabetes in Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. DIACAM1 2010-2020 study.

Introduction: Despite better treatments and care for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM), all-cause and cardiovascular mortality still remains higher compared to the general population. We evaluated mortality and risk factors for mortality in a representative cohort of patients with T1DM.

Methods: DIACAM1 was a cross-sectional, multicenter study on adult patients (≥ 16 years old) and diabetes with at least 5 years since diabetes diagnosis conducted between 2009 and 2010.

Aetiological diagnosis of hyponatraemia in non-critical patients on total parenteral nutrition: A prospective multicentre study.

Background: In patients receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN), the frequency of hyponatraemia is high. However, the causes of hyponatraemia in TPN have not been elucidated, although diagnosis is required for appropriate therapy. The aim of this study is to describe the aetiology of hyponatraemia in non-critical hospitalised patients receiving TPN.

Prevalence of autoimmune diseases in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. DIACAM 1 study 2010-2020.

Objective: To evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune diseases (AD) associated with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Patients And Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study, nested in a multicenter prospective cohort of 1121 adults with DM1 with active follow-up in endocrinology clinics. Sociodemographic and clinical variables and the presence of AD were analysed in 2010 and 2020.

Fish Oil Enriched Intravenous Lipid Emulsions Reduce Triglyceride Levels in Non-Critically Ill Patients with TPN and Type 2 Diabetes. A Post-Hoc Analysis of the INSUPAR Study.

There are no studies that have specifically assessed the role of intravenous lipid emulsions (ILE) enriched with fish oil in people with diabetes receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The objective of this study was to assess the metabolic control (glycemic and lipid) and in-hospital complications that occurred in non-critically ill inpatients with TPN and type 2 diabetes with regard to the use of fish oil emulsions compared with other ILEs. We performed a post-hoc analysis of the Insulin in Parenteral Nutrition (INSUPAR) trial that included patients who started with TPN for any cause and that would predictably continue with TPN for at least five days.

Development of hyponatremia in non-critical patients receiving total parenteral nutrition: A prospective, multicenter study.

Background & Aims: Hyponatremia is frequent in hospitalized patients, especially in those receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN). Furthermore, the presence of hyponatremia is associated with increased morbimortality in both groups. The goal of this study is to describe the prevalence of hyponatremia developing during TPN in non-critical patients, and identify risk factors for its appearance.

Clinical course of a cohort with type 2 diabetes mellitus after endocrine assessment. A 26-week study.

Objective: To assess the degree of metabolic control and hypoglycemic treatments in a cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) after evaluation in an endocrinology clinic.

Material And Methods: A prospective cohort study on 465 patients with T2DM who were not being monitored at an endocrinology clinic. Blood glucose control data and treatments received were recorded at an initial visit and after 26 weeks of follow-up.

[Nutritional support with parenteral nutrition. Course and associated complications].

Introduction: Parenteral nutrition (PN) is an integral part of medical management of patients who do not have a functioning or accessible gastrointestinal tract. This paper discusses the clinical characteristics of patients receiving PN in a 420-bed hospital from 2009 to 2011. In addition, nutritional parameters were assessed at the start and end of PN and associated complications were analyzed.

[Vitamin D deficiency in morbidly obese patients. A case-control study].

Objectives: Recent studies show a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the general population, especially in the elderly. There are also studies reporting the same observations in the morbidly obese, although few of these studies have compared morbidly obese individuals with non-obese persons. The objectives of this study were to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and secondary hyperparathyroidism in both groups and to assess whether there is a relationship between obesity and vitamin D deficiency.

(123)I-mibg scintigraphy uptake in a hepatic lesion.

Pheochromocytoma is a tumor derived from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. When this type of tumor involves the sympathetic ganglia it is called paraganglioma. Although infrequent, paraganglioma should be considered in the evaluation of hypertension, arrhythmias, and panic disorder.
