Metabolic Syndrome and Subclinical Hypothyroidism: A Type 2 Diabetes-Dependent Association
(Hindawi, 2018)
Introduction. Subclinical hypothyroidism (ScH) is an endocrine alteration that is related to cardiovascular risk factors, including those categorized as components of the Metabolic Syndrome (MS). However, findings in prior reports regarding an association between these alterations are inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between both entities in adult subjects from Maracaibo City, Venezuela. Materials and Methods. The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a descriptive, cross-sectional study ...

Importance of high triglycerides levels between novel coronary risk factors
(Sociedad Colombiana de Cardiología y Cirugía Cardiovascular., 2017-11)
Introduction: The analysis of new cardiovascular risk factors is under an extensive debate in
the cardiology and metabolic research fields.
Objective: To determine the main factors that contribute to the classification of individuals
with higher coronary risk in the adult population from Maracaibo, Venezuela.

Fto gene: historic background and its relationship with chronic-degenerative diseasesGene FTO: Aspectos históricos y su relación con enfermedades crónicas no comunicables
(Sociedad Latinoamericana de Hipertención, 2018-07-15)
Alteraciones en el desarrollo de la atención
y la organización conductual pueden
configurar cuadros clínicos como
el trastorno déficit de atención (TDA) que puede estar
acompañado o no de hiperactividad (TDAH), este último
parece tener una relación directa con otros diagnósticos
de tipo endocrino como la obesidad. El objetivo del estudio
es analizar la relación que existe entre el TDAH y la
obesidad. Es por ello que se realiza una revisión sistemática
de estudios científicos revelando relaciones y diferencias
entre ambos trastornos desde ...
Biochemical and clinical characterization of metabolic phenotypes: a cross-sectional study from Maracaibo city, Venezuela [version 1; referees: awaiting peer review]
(is published by F1000 Research Ltd, 2018-02)
Background: In 1980, Reuben Andresen observed that in certain individuals,
obesity did not increase mortality, introducing an atypical phenotype called
“healthy obese”. Other studies reported that 10-15 % of lean individuals
presented insulin resistance, hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia. The objective of
this study was to evaluate biochemical and clinical characteristics of metabolic
phenotypes in Maracaibo city.
Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional study with a randomized multistage
sampling was performed including 1226 non diabetic ...

(is published by F1000 Research Ltd, 2018-03)
Background: Insulin resistance (IR) is a metabolic disorder related to
atherosclerosis. Its measurement is of great importance not only as a marker of
diabetes but also for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this research study
was to evaluate the relationship between various IR indices and coronary risk in
an adult population from Maracaibo city, Venezuela.
Methods: The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a
descriptive, cross-sectional study with random and multi-stage sampling. In this

cause the onset of metabolic syndrome prior to cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between
smoking habit and metabolic syndrome components in an adult population from
Maracaibo city, Venezuela.
Methods: The Maracaibo City Metabolic Syndrome Prevalence Study is a
descriptive, cross-sectional study with random and multi-stage sampling. In this
sub-study, 2212 adults from both genders were selected. On the ...
Una introducción a las aplicaciones de la inteligencia artificial en Medicina: Aspectos históricos
(Cooperativa servicios y suministros 212518 RS, 2019)
En un sentido amplio la inteligencia artificial y el aprendizaje automático se ha aplicado a los datos médicos desde los inicios de la informática dado el profundo arraigo de esta área en la innovación, pero los últimos años han sido testigo de una
generación cada vez mayor de datos relacionados con las ciencias de la salud, cuestión que ha dado nacimiento a un nuevo campo de las ciencias de la computación llamado big data. Los datos médicos a gran escala (en forma
de bases de datos estructuradas y no estructuradas) si son apropiadamente ...
Obesidad Infantil: Un problema de pequeños que se está volviendo grande
(Cooperativa servicios y suministros 212518 RS, 2019)
La obesidad es una enfermedad crónica de comportamiento epidemiológico complejo
que se origina de la interacción entre factores genéticos y ambientales, entre los que destacan los patrones de alimentación y el consumo calórico diario, así como el grado de actividad física. Según la Organización Mundial para la Salud (OMS), la obesidad se define como una
acumulación anormal y excesiva de grasa corporal. Para el diagnóstico de esta condición en niños y adolescentes se utilizan tablas diseñadas por la OMS que definen a un individuo con sobrepeso ...
Microbiota and Diabetes Mellitus: Role of Lipid Mediators
(MDPI, 2020)
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is an inflammatory clinical entity with different mechanisms involved in its physiopathology. Among these, the dysfunction of the gut microbiota stands out. Currently, it is understood that lipid products derived from the gut microbiota are capable of interacting with cells from the immune system and have an immunomodulatory effect. In the presence of dysbiosis, the concentration of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) increases, favoring damage to the intestinal barrier. Furthermore, a pro-inflammatory environment prevails, and a ...
