Objective: The carbohydrate metabolism dysfunctions are common in critical ill patients with diabetes or stress hyperglycaemia and the correct management of them has an important prognostic value. Despite its limitations, capillary glucose (CG) was collected more than arterial glucose (gold standard) because of its good correlation. However, the usefulness of intermittent intersticial glucose monitoring (IGM) in keeping blood glucose within target range in critical ill patient...

According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), achieving specific treatment goals in type 2 diabetes can substantially reduce microvascular complications, including retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. Intensive management has also been shown to have a beneficial effect on cardiovascular disease. The objective of the study is to evaluate the degree of achievement of appropriate target levels for A1C, as an index of chronic glycaemia, LDL-c and blood pressure, in a l...

Introduction and Objectives: Poor metabolic control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM 1) is associated with micro and macrovascular complications. The implementation of interstitial glucose monitoring systems has contributed to improving glycemic control in recent years. Our objective was to know the metabolic control in people with type 1 DM and the Flash system and to establish if there is an association between its use and glycemic control variables.Mat...

Objective: The definitive treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PPH) is the removal of the affected gland(s). However, its localization can be complicated. The usefulness of 18F-Choline PET-CT versus classical techniques is unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of 18F-Choline PET-CT in the detection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid tissue with respect to conventional imaging tests and to analyze the relationship between its findings and the levels of ca...

Introduction and objectives: Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a severe acute complication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and may require hospital admission. Our aim was to compare the characteristics of DKA occurring in patients with autoimmune DM (AMD) and type 2 DM (DM2) in our setting.Methods: Retrospective observational study. Patients with AMD and DM2 admitted for DKA at the Hospital Universitario San Cecilio de Granada between January 2019 and December 20...

Introduction and Objectives: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has demonstrated benefits in the prevention of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) vs flash monitoring (CGM). Our aim was to analyze the clinical characteristics, indication and glucometric changes in patients using MFG after CGM implantation.Material and methods: Retrospective observational study of 13 patients under follow-up for DM1 in Endocrinology consultations...

Introduction and objectives of the study: Every year the Diabetes Association of Granada (AGRADI), organizes a summer camp for children with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 with the aim of combining leisure activities and facilitating learning and developing autonomy in their pathology. The presence of health professionals is essential to ensure the monitoring and safety of children and a good diabetological education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical characteristics...

Objective: This study reviews the clinical characteristics of patients treated in a Multidisciplinary Diabetic Foot Unit (MDFU) and analyzes the rate of diabetic foot amputations and the risk factors associated.Design and methods: A retrospective cohort study including data from all patients who attended the MDFU during December 2017-October 2018 period. The patients were followed until January 2019. Clinical, anthropometric, and biochemical parameters (...

Objective: Optimal glycemic management in critically ill patients with diabetes or stress hyperglycemia has prognostic value. For adjustment, the most used measurement in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the capillary glucose. In this study, we compare intersticial glucose (IG) and capillary glucose (CG) concentrations to assess the applicability of sensor placement in patients requiring vasoactive agents.Materials and Methods: Prospective longitudinal o...

Objective: Non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP) it’s a histological entity that describes a low-aggressive neoplasm previously classified as encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma and well differentiated tumour of uncertain malignant potential. The preoperative diagnosis it’s difficult, and if we suspect it hemithyroidectomy or lobectomy it’s the therapeutic management of choice. Therefore,...
