Objective: The objective of our study is to evaluate muscle strength and risk of falls in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) patientsMethods: Observational cross-sectional study. Hand grip strength (HGS) (kg/cm2) was measured with a Jamar. manual hydraulic dynamometer (5030j1; Jackson, MI). To classify normality, data from the Spanish population were used, establishing the cut-off point at p10. To assess the level of mobility and the risk of ...

Background: The complex involvement of multiple metabolic defects in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) makes difficult the treatment in monotherapy, therefore, the use of different antidiabetic drugs with different and complementary mechanisms of action could result in better glycemic control with favorable metabolic changes.Objective: To determine the effectiveness and safety of the addition of a sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 in...

Background: Cross-sex hormone therapy (CHT) is known to lead to alterations in cardiovascular risk factor(CVRF).Objective: To assess changes in lipid profile and other CVRF in transsexual subjects receiving CHT.Materials and methods: Retrospective longitudinal study. We evaluated individuals with gender identity disorder following CHT, assisted in the Gender Identity Unit from 2015 to 2017. Primary endpoint was lipid profile change...

ContextThe incidence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing and muscle strength and function are reported to be decreased in patients with T2DM compared to healthy controls.However, the relation between bone and muscle remain unclear.ObjectiveOur aims was to examine bone health parameters [by Dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and trabecular bone score (TBS)] and muscle strength (by hand grip) i...
