RESUMO
Introduction: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are susceptible to acquire Candida spp. infections, sometimes involving more than one species. The resistance of some species to antimycotic agents can cause treatment failure. Objectives: To determine the frequency and clinical varieties of mixed oral candidiasis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, the involved species, and its sensitivity spectra when exposed to antifungals used as candidiasis treatment. Material and methods: We developed an analytical cross-sectional study with 72 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia (HbA1C ≥ 7%) and an oral candidiasis diagnosis. The causal species of oral candidiasis were identified through microbiological techniques, and sensitivity tests were carried out using the diffusion method in a plate with strips (E-test ®). Results: We included 72 patients in the study, 32 (44%) males and 40 (56%) females. Patients were divided into three age groups: young adults (17%), adults (74%), and older adults (9%). The mean age of the patients was 51 years. No significant differences were found between mixed oral candidiasis and groups (sex and age), or between mixed oral candidiasis and gender, glycosylated hemoglobin level (HbA1C), antihyperglycemic treatment, or type 2 diabetes mellitus time of diagnosis. We found a correlation between the adult group and development of mixed or simple oral candidiasis. The results showed eight (13%) cases of mixed oral candidiasis: seven with a coinfection of two species and one with a coinfection of three species. The identified species were Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. dubliniensis, C. kefyr, C. tropicalis, and C. krusei. Most of these species presented sensitivity against ketoconazole and fluconazole, and higher resistance to itraconazole. Conclusions: Mixed oral candidiasis occurs in approximately 10% of the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and its treatment can be ineffective when the etiological agent is not identified.
Introducción: Los pacientes con diabetes mellitus de tipo 2 son propensos a adquirir infecciones por Candida spp., en ocasiones, causadas por más de una especie. La resistencia de algunas de ellas puede resultar en complicaciones médicas por falla del tratamiento. Objetivos: Determinar la frecuencia y las variedades clínicas de la candidiasis oral mixta en pacientes con diabetes mellitus de tipo 2, las especies de Candida involucradas y sus espectros de sensibilidad a los antifúngicos utilizados como tratamiento. Material y métodos. Se hizo un estudio transversal analítico en pacientes con diabetes mellitus de tipo 2, hiperglucemia (superior o igual al 7 % de la hemoglobina glucosilada, HbA1C) y con diagnóstico clínico de candidiasis oral. Mediante técnicas microbiológicas, se identificaron las especies causales de la candidiasis oral. Las pruebas de sensibilidad se llevaron a cabo con el método de difusión en placa con tiras (E-test®). Resultados: Se incluyeron 72 pacientes: 32 (44 %) hombres y 40 (56 %) mujeres, clasificados en tres grupos de edad: jóvenes adultos (17 %), adultos (74 %) y ancianos (9 %), con una media de 51 años. No se encontraron diferencias significativas en la candidiasis oral según los grupos de sexo y edad, ni entre las candidiasis orales mixtas y el sexo, el porcentaje de HbA1C, el tratamiento antihiperglucemiante o el tiempo de diagnóstico de la diabetes mellitus de tipo 2. En el grupo etario de adultos, se encontró una correlación con las candidiasis mixtas o simples. Se encontraron 8 (13 %) casos de candidiasis mixtas: siete con coinfección por dos especies de Candida y uno con coinfección por tres especies. Las especies identificadas en ellos, fueron: Candida albicans, C. glabrata, C. dubliniensis, C. kefyr, C. tropicalis y C. krusei. La mayoría de estas especies presentó sensibilidad a ketoconazol y fluconazol, y mayor resistencia a itraconazol. Conclusiones: Las candidiasis orales mixtas se presentan, aproximadamente, en el 10 % de los pacientes con diabetes mellitus de tipo 2 y el tratamiento puede ser ineficaz cuando no se identifica el agente etiológico.

Although in recent years in Mexico the quality of diabetes mellitus (DM) care has improved and access to health services and medications has increased, there is a lack of adherence to the recommendations of the clinical guidelines, which could explain the poor glycemic control in many of the patients with DM. Sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (iSGLT2) inhibitors have been the last class of antidiabetic agents to receive approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and COFEPRIS (Mexico). In order to improve the use of SGLT2i in clinical practice in Mexico, this paper presents the recommendations issued by a panel of eleven Mexican experts based on the new published evidence for the treatment of patients with DM2.

RESUMO
A review is carried out to examine the risk of patients suffering from diabetes mellitus in the context of general morbidity and mortality and related to infection by SARS-CoV-2. Likewise, the general recommendations for food and the prevention of comorbidities that most these patients suffer most frequently are also studied. Finally, a review of the pharmacological recommendations on both oral and parenteral treatment in the outpatient, in hospitalization and in critical states infected with SARS-CoV-2 is made.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to estimate the heritability (h2) and genetic correlation (ρG) between GERD symptoms severity, metabolic syndrome components, and inflammation markers in Mexican families. METHODS: Cross-sectional study which included 32 extended families resident in Mexico City. GERD symptoms severity was assessed by the ReQuest in Practice questionnaire. Heritability and genetic correlation were determined using the Sequential Oligogenic Linkage Analysis Routines software. RESULTS: 585 subjects were included, the mean age was 42 (±16.7) years, 57% were women. The heritability of the severity of some GERD symptoms was h2 = 0.27, 0.27, 0.37, and 0.34 (p-value <1.0x10-5) for acidity complaints, lower abdominal complaints, sleep disturbances, and total ReQuest score, respectively. Heritability of metabolic syndrome components ranged from 0.40 for fasting plasma glucose to 0.61 for body mass index and diabetes mellitus. The heritability for fibrinogen and C-reactive protein was 0.64 and 0.38, respectively. Statistically significant genetic correlations were found between acidity complaints and fasting plasma glucose (ρG = 0.40); sleep disturbances and fasting plasma glucose (ρG = 0.36); acidity complaints and diabetes mellitus (ρG = 0.49) and between total ReQuest score and fasting plasma glucose (ρG = 0.43). The rest of metabolic syndrome components did not correlate with GERD symptoms. CONCLUSION: Genetic factors substantially explain the phenotypic variance of the severity of some GERD symptoms, metabolic syndrome components and inflammation markers. Observed genetic correlations suggest that these phenotypes share common genes. These findings suggest conducting further investigation, as the determination of a linkage analysis in order to identify regions of susceptibility for developing of GERD and metabolic syndrome.

INTRODUCTION: Obesity is associated with low-intensity chronic systemic inflammation. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of two different doses of metformin in comparison with placebo on increased serum levels of high molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An experimental design was developed with a crossover complete treatment and balanced design; 28 female and eight male nondiabetic obese adults participated. All participants received, during a week and in randomized order: placebo or metformin 500 or 850 mg twice daily; there was a week washout period between each treatment. The HMW adiponectin serum concentration (0 and 120 minutes) at the end of each treatment was measured. Analyses of variance (ANOVA), Bonferroni test, and size effect calculations were performed. RESULTS: Differences in concentrations of HMW adiponectin (t0', t120') were measured for each treatment by ANOVA, having values of p = 0.03 and 0.002, respectively. The post hoc analysis reported differences favoring treatment with metformin 850 mg (p = 0.025). The sizes of the effect at times t0 and t120 for metformin 500 mg were 34 and 35%, and for metformin 850 mg, 65 and 84%, respectively.
