The aim of this study was to assess the effect of lipodystrophy (LD) associated to metabolic syndrome (MS) on oxidative stress and inflammation in a cohort of 243 HIV-infected patients with MS, all of them under three different antiretroviral regimens. We collected immunovirological, biochemical and metabolic data, as well as anthropometric measurements. In addition, cardiovascular risk was also assessed by means of Atherogenic Index of Plasma (API) and Framingham Risk Score. The MS-LD patient set was characterized by a lower initial lymphocyte CD4 count and CD4/CD8 ratio and a higher initial viral load than the group without LD...

INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome is a pathological entity associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Data regarding the frequency of this syndrome, lipid profile, and atherogenic index of plasma in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis are scarce. We aim to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in patients with spondyloarthritis. We also aim to determine discriminative values of atherogenic indexes between patients with and without metabolic syndrome...

We present the case of a 64-year-old woman from Romania with a medical history of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome, hepatic cirrhosis, COPD, and osteoarthritis. She smokes one pack of cigarettes per day. The patient is referred from the pulmonology department for an outpatient evaluation for an incidental finding of bilateral adrenal adenomas and progressive weight gain over the last five years. Cushing syndrome is detected during study of the adrenal adenomas and obesity. It is important to study recent-onset obesity in multimorbid patients as there could be other secondary causes in addition to the underlying diseases they present with...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a chronic disease that may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma; its close relationship with obesity and the metabolic syndrome involves an increasing prevalence. Invasive liver biopsy is the gold standard diagnosis technique for NAFLD but entails risks. Therefore, transient elastography, a non-invasive technique with high reliability, is frequently used in clinical practice. Bariatric surgery is the only effective treatment for long-term weight loss and obesity-related metabolic conditions improvement...

MATERIAL AND METHODS: a randomized, triple-blind, controlled clinical trial carried out in GP surgeries...

Secondary hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) are the most common cause of excess triglyceride rich particles in plasma. Faced with HTG, the first thing to do is rule out if there is a secondary cause since it can interact with genetic susceptibility and further aggravate the HTG. The most common causes are diet with high fat and high glycemic index, obesity, diabetes mellitus, alcohol consumption, renal disease like nephrotic syndrome, hepatic disorders and medications. The most important medications that can influence in HTG are oestrogen, isotretinoin, immunosuppressant therapy, L-asparaginase and with less effect thiazides, beta blockers, atypical antipsychotics and glucocorticoids...
