Backround and objectives: Heart failure (HF) has a rising incidence and is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. The number of patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) with heart failure is very high. Serum NT-proBNP and systolic ejection fraction correlate with the severity and prognosis of this condition. The nutritional evaluation of patients with HF, who usually have normal weight, overweight or obesity, has acquired a novel approach due to the incorporation of novel t...

Magnesium disorders are common in clinical practice. Hypomagnesemia is seen in inherited disorders, with excessive gastrointestinal or renal losses and due to medications. Replacement of magnesium can be challenging, with oral replacement strategies being generally more effective at slowly replacing body storages and intravenous (iv) replacement being more effective at treating life-threatening and severe cases of hypomagnesemia.Objective, material and m...

Background: Heart failure (HF) has a rising incidence and is one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide. Serum NT-proBNP and systolic ejection fraction correlate with the severity and prognosis of this condition. The nutritional evaluation of patients with HF, who usually have normal weight, overweight or obesity, has acquired a novel approach due to the incorporation of novel techniques (bioelectrical impedance, nutritional ultrasonography), and functional tests.<p clas...

Emerging evidence indicates that the cellular machinery controlling the splicing process (spliceosome) is altered in several tumour types, leading to oncogenic splicing events associated with tumour progression and aggressiveness. However, whether this molecular phenomenon also occurs in thyroid cancer has not been yet explored. Therefore, our main aim was to explore the potential dysregulation of the expression of relevant spliceosome components and splicing factors in clinic...
