Diabetes is a chronic disease that is often accompanied by multiple comorbidities and health complications such as overweight/obesity. In the late years therapies improving glycemic control while reducing body weight have become a convenient choice to treat diabetes. One of those therapies are GLP 1 receptor agonists. Dulaglutide allows for a once weekly dosing which might improve compliance; moreover its new application device ease the injection. We show the results of HbA1c ...

In the late years ISGLT2 have became an usual choice to treat diabetes. The inhibition of the sodium-glucose co transporters (SLGT2) inhibits also the glucose reabsorption in the proximale tubule and increases the glucose excreted in the urine. Therefore hyperglycemia decreases and so does weight. This is a very convenient side effect since type 2 DM is highly associated with overweight/obesity. We show the results of HbA1c and weight evolution after starting canaglifozina 100...

Introduction: Intrathyroidal parathyroid adenomas (IPA) are a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) and their differential diagnosis includes other parathyroid and thyroid lesions. Although <7% of parathyroid adenomas are intrathyroidal, this location represents almost 20% of ectopic cases and their preoperative identification can pose difficulties, often being an intraoperative finding.Clinical case: A 70-year-old woman diagnosed with brea...

Introduction: Depression, anxiety and eating disorders appear more frequently in patients with type 2 diabetes and are associated with worse metabolic control and higher risk of developing micro and macrovascular complications. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of psychiatric comorbidities in diabetic patients, candidates for therapy with SGLT2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and to evaluate their clinical profile and degree of metabolic control before beginning the tr...

Introduction: Asymptomatic, mild or moderate elevations of creatine phosphokinase are frequently found in hypothyroidism, but rhabdomyolysis is rare, and even more so when it constitutes its clinical presentation.Clinical case: A 26-year-old male who regularly practiced sports, with no family or personal history of interest, went to the emergency room referring to myalgia, generalized cramps, and muscular weakness in the previous two weeks which had not ...
