Post-COVID-19 syndrome, inflammation and insulin resistance: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: COVID-19-induced diabetes is a novel and enigmatic disease. Our aim was to evaluate a possible relationship between post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) and increased insulin resistance (IR) in non-diabetic outpatients after mild COVID-19.

Methods: Repeated measures design.

Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and trabecular bone score (TBS) in postmenopausal women: The Camargo cohort.

Objectives: The potential relationship between diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and bone microstructure has not been studied in women. We aimed to assess the association between the trabecular bone score (TBS) and DISH in postmenopausal women, as well as the role of other parameters related to bone metabolism, such as bone mineral density (BMD), calciotropic hormones, and bone remodeling markers.

Methods: Cross-sectional study, nested in a prospective population-based cohort (Camargo cohort).

Early stages of diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) and chronic inflammation: the Camargo Cohort Study.

Introduction/objectives: DISH has traditionally been considered a non-inflammatory rheumatic disorder. Currently, an inflammatory component has been theorized in the early phases of this condition (EDISH). The study is aimed at investigating a possible relationship between EDISH and chronic inflammation.

Trabecular bone score and bone turnover markers in men with DISH: Data from the Camargo Cohort study.

Objective: Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) has been associated with an increased risk of vertebral fracture. To date, no studies have investigated the relationship between DISH and bone microstructure assessed by the trabecular bone score (TBS).

Methods: Cross-sectional study, nested in a prospective population-based cohort.

Interobserver agreement using Schlapbach graded scale for diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH): can we reduce the cut-off point of vertebral affection?

Resnick-Niwayama criteria for diagnosing DISH depict an advanced stage, and a new reduced cut-off point with three contiguous vertebrae affected (two bone bridges) has been proposed. The aim has been to know the interobserver agreement by using a graded scale of DISH in which grade II matches with the new proposed cut-off point and grade III matches with the first criterion of Resnick-Niwayama. Males ≥ 50 years and postmenopausal women included in a population-based prospective study (the Camargo Cohort) were analyzed.

Factors associated to Clostridium difficile infection in a hospital-based home care service.

Background And Objective: There are no data related to the risk factors associated with CDI in a Hospital-Based Home Care Service (HBHCS) of the Spanish health system.

Patients And Methods: Case-control study. The cases were patients admitted to the HBHCS between 01/01/2011 and 31/12/2016 who developed CDI.
