Obesity is considered a modifiable risk factor for cognitive impairment which, in turn, predisposes to overeating and weight gain. Compelling evidence in animal models has demonstrated the impact of the gut microbiome on ...
INTRODUCTION: Adrenal masses are one of the most common tumors, being incidentally diagnosed in 5% of patients undergoing imaging tests. Until the beginning of the 1990s, all adrenal surgical treatment was performed through ...
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic disease that leads to absolute insulin deficiency. People with T1DM need exogenous insulin to maintain glucose at proper levels. Achieving optimal glycemic control is a major ...
Modeling biological systems has always been challenging given the complexity of the processes involved in them. Experts have been employing physiological models to approximate the dynamics of biological systems; however, ...
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is considered one of the fastest-growing global health emergencies in the XXI century. According to the World Health Organization, it was estimated in 2021 that 537 million people were suffering from ...
In the work presented in this dissertation, open-loop and closed-loop control strategies that were aimed at resolving major glucose control problems in the postprandial period were developed. A new model-based control ...
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a chronic condition resulting from the destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic beta-cells due to an autoimmune process that may occur at any age, but tends to develop in childhood and ...
INTRODUCTION: Bariatric surgery (CB) is the only treatment option that has proved capable of solving the DM2. In addition to the impact on weight and comorbidities, the CB has shown a great impact on adipose tissue. THEORY: ...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by the body's inability to produce the necessary amount of insulin to regulate blood glucose (BG) levels. Most cases occur due to a destruction of the pancreatic ...
The aim is to demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance (MR) for identifying subclinical changes associated with the metabolic syndrome (MS) that contribute to increased cardiometabolic risk. The effect of MS on ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and implies a huge social, medical, and economical burden. Analyses of AF risk factors in certain groups of population would allow tailored ...
Insulin therapy for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) has several ramifications with different degrees of automation. The advances in sensors and monitoring devices have led to an increasing availability of data. Additionally, machine ...
Increased metabolic disease in children is a major public health problem.. Epigenetic marks, such as microRNAs, could be one of the mechanisms that regulate the association maternal obesity with the development of metabolic ...
Adiponectin is a protein secreted by adipose tissue which possesses insulin-sensitivity and anti-atherosclerotic properties. In this work, we will study if high molecular weight adiponectin is a key molecule in the association ...
Despite notable advances in health promotion over the past decades, cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, with obesity being a rising contributor of it. Cardiovascular risk factors appear in ...
Obesity is one of the most important public health problems facing the world today. Gene expression studies applied to fat depots from obese subjects have provided important clues about the pathophysiology of adipose tissue. ...
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is an autoimmune disease that targets the insulin producing β-cells in the pancreas that results in chronically elevated blood glucose (BG) levels and requires lifelong insulin-replacement therapy. ...
Different studies link the metabolic alterations of obesity with imbalances in neuregulin 4 levels. In this study we hypothesize that signaling of neuregulin isoforms (NRG) produced through ERBB receptors in human adipose ...
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that affects a large number of people worldwide, making it a global pandemic. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) accounts for approximately 10 % of all cases. It is characterized by autoimmune ...
Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is a chronic metabolic disorder caused by destruction of the insulin producing beta cells in the islets of Langerhans within the pancreas due to an autoimmune reaction. T1D is distinguished by elevated ...
