Introduction: Poor metabolic control in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is associated with micro and macrovascular complications. The implementation of interstitial glucose monitoring systems has contributed to the improvement of glycemic control in recent years.Objectives: Our main objective was to analyze the results of implementing flash glucose monitoring (FGM) devices after 1 year, and see if it managed to improve glycemic control in our patients.</...

Extraadrenal paraganglioma is a rare tumor. The clinical and pathological findings of patients with abdominal localization paragangliomas (perihepatic, paraaortic, interaortocaval and retroperitoneal) are described. Its characteristics and diagnostic imaging are analyzed, as well as its therapeutic management. Between January 2021 and January 2022, 3 patients with extra-adrenal paragangliomas were diagnosed, all of them women. The age of our patients was 26, 57 and 67 years. T...

A 47-year-old male with a history of severe persistent asthma and recurrent respiratory infections with admissions to the Pulmonology Department.

We present the case mix of patients diagnosed with adrenal cortex carcinoma in our center between 2012-2022 and review the management of this pathology.Patients and Methods: Retrospective study on...

Background: Percutaneous radiological gastrostomy (PRG) is one of the techniques of choice for long-term enteral nutrition. Although safe and technically simple, it has been associated with relative morbidity and mortality.Objective: We analyzed the results of the PRG insertion techniques with respect to morbidity and mortality, associated complications during the hospital stay, as well as nutritional results.Methods: A cohort of 3...

Introduction: For the past three years, patients with type 1 diabetes have been treated with basal-bolus therapy at the Axarquia Hospital by doctors from the Clinical Management Unit of Endocrinology and Nutrition at the Malaga Regional University Hospital. Treating patients in their own health area avoids travel and could have an impact on better follow-up, metabolic control, and the incidence of complications. The aim of this study is to describe the socio-demographic and cl...
