SARS‑COV‑2 infection outcomes in patients with congenital generalized lipodystr...

Background: A new strain of human coronavirus (HCoV) spread rapidly around the world. Diabetes and obesity are associated with a worse prognosis in these patients. Congenital Generalized Lipodystrophy (CGL) patients generally have poorly controlled diabetes and require extremely high doses of insulin. There is no documentation in the literature of cases of COVID in CGL patients. Thus, we aimed to evaluate the p...

Early Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction Detected by Two-Dimensional Speckle...

Purpose: Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the absence of functional adipocytes resulting in ectopic lipid storage, metabolic disorders and early cardiovascular disease. Two-dimensional speckle-tracking (2D-STE) allows the detection of early abnormalities in myocardial function. We aimed to evaluate myocardial deformation in a large sample of CGL ...

Leu124Serfs*26, a novel AGPAT2 mutation in congenital generalized lipodystrophy...

Background: Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the near-total loss of subcutaneous adipose tissue soon after birth, resulting in ectopic fat deposition and severe metabolic disturbances. Most cases are caused by AGPAT2 or BSCL2 gene mutations. We aimed to report two unrelated CGL patients with a novel frameshift mutation in AGPAT2 (p.Leu124Serfs*26...

Avaliação do uso de injetáveis em portadores de Diabetes Mellitus tipo 1 acompa...

Objetivo: Avaliar as práticas de injetáveis em pacientes com diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1) acompanhados em hospital terciário. Metodologia: pacientes portadores de DM1 e seus responsáveis responderam questionário que envolvia perguntas referentes à doença e ao seu tratamento. Foram utilizados o coeficiente de correlação de Spearman, teste qui-quadrado de Pearson e teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: 119 pacie...

Vitamin B12 deficiency: metabolic effects, clinical evaluation, and treatment

Vitamin B12 is a water-soluble essential micronutrient, required by all the body cells. Its deficiency has been implicated not only in hematological and neurological disorders, but also in many metabolic processes, such as insulin resistance and body composition changes, which have aroused particular interest in recent years. This study reviews the physiology of vitamin B12 from its digestion and absorption to ...

Avaliação clínica e laboratorial de meninas com diagnóstico de puberdade precoc...

Objetivo: descrever o perfil de meninas tratadas com análogo de GnRH quanto aos aspectos clínicos, radiológicos e laboratoriais. Avaliar o efeito do tratamento com análogos de GnRH no índice de massa corpórea (IMC) de meninas com puberdade precoce central. Metodologia: estudo transversal, retrospectivo, de pacientes do sexo feminino, acompanhadas em hospital terciário entre janeiro de 2007 e julho de 2017. Crit...

Protocolo de controle glicêmico hospitalar

Hyperglycemia is a frequent complication and its prevalence occurs in up to 38% of hospitalized patients. Such condition may be due to previously known diabetes, stress responsive to associated diseases or treatments or it may due to diabetes only diagnosed during hospitalization. The presence of nosocomial hyperglycemia is associated with prolonged hospitalization time, increased demand for human resources and...
