Objectives: To analyze the most frequent consultations on patients admitted to Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology (OST) unit asked to medical physicians.Material and methods: Descriptive analysis of consultations on patients admitted to OST who suffered any medical decompensation that needed to be notified.Results: From June 2008 to November 2014, 1486 consultations were sent from OST to a medical team (Internal Medicine+Cardiolog...

Introduction: Obesity is a major health problem and a risk factor for the development of other diseases. However, there are morbid obese subjects of long evolution that can be considered metabolically healthy obese, whose existence is in doubt for many clinicians.Objetive: To analyze if there are differences in cardiovascular risk between metabolically healthy (MHO) and sick obese (MSO), matched by age, sex and body mass index (BMI).<p class="abstext...

Introduction: Consultations are a common practice among different units of a hospital. In particular, those from the Vascular Surgery Service (VS) to the medical units are some of the most frequent.Objectives: Analyze the total number of consultations performed from the Vascular Surgery Service (VS) service to a medical team (T) specifically assigned to the control of decompensated medical conditions in surgical areas, in relation to the number of total ...

Objectives: To analyze the most frequent consultations on patients admitted to VS sent to a medical team (T).Material and methods: Descriptive analysis of consultations on patients admitted to the VS who suffered any medical decompensation that needed to be notified to Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Nephrology or Pneumology.Results: From February 2011 to November 2014, 173 consultations were sent from the VS Service ...

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,...

Backgrounds: One of the most observations in subjects with obesity, is a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, which, in turn, it has been implicated with decreased testosterone levels and an increased hypogonadism risk. Testosterone deficiency is a very common feature in males with obesity. However, only few studies have investigated the effect of vitamin D on testosterone in the context of obesity, and controversial results has been found.Hypothesis...

Background: 3q29 microduplication syndrome is a very uncommon genetic disorder with fewer than 40 cases reported, although the wide and heterogenous clinical features make this syndrome hard to diagnose. This syndrome is clinically milder than the 3q29 microdeletion syndrome, which contributes to the high rate of underdiagnosed cases that may exist. Patients affected with this syndrome have a complex phenotype, with non-specific clinical features such as autism spectrum disord...

Objectives: To analyze the data of patients seen at the Diabetes and Pregnancy Unit, assessing the frequency of pregnancy planning and whether there are differences in the degree of metabolic control before and during pregnancy, as well as in perinatal outcomes with respect to those who do not plan. All women of childbearing age with Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus(PGDM) should receive preconception counseling to optimize glycemic control, since preconception control is assoc...

Introduction: Bariatric surgery has important metabolic complications such as bone mass loss.Goal: To assess bone mineral density (BMD) after Roux-en-Y gastric by-pass (RYGB) in patients under standard calcium and vitamin D supplementation.Method: In patients with morbid obesity submitted to RYGB, we measured BMD with a dual X-ray densitometer. Using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria’s, values were compared with young c...

Introduction and objectives: Metformin (MTF) is the most used oral antidiabetic drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, intolerance to drug is frequent and limits its use. There are controversies about the cause of this problem, the gut microbiota has been proposed to be responsible. The gradual introduction of MTF could exercise an adaptation of gut microbiota that would facilitate tolerance to MTF. In this study we evaluate the metabolic changes and gut mic...
