[A glucose tolerance study in the 12 months postpartum in patients with gestational diabetes].

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that patients with gestational diabetes have a considerable long term risk of developing diabetes mellitus. METHOD: Glucose tolerance was studied in the 12 months following birth in 155 patients diagnosed by the authors as having gestational diabetes and followed during pregnancy. RESULTS: It was observed that in 48% of the patients alterations persisted (33% glucose intolerance and 15% diabetes mellitus). Glucose tolerance during gestation and the perinatal results were retrospectively analyzed with a relation with the postpartum reclassification being observed. CONCLUSIONS: It was estimated that the percentage of alterations in glucose tolerance persisting postpartum is extremely high, suggesting the need for this test with a double objective: the reclassification of gestational diabetes and the early detection of glucose intolerance and diabetes mellitus.

[Clinical aspects of stasis hepatomegaly].

The clinical characteristics of 100 patients diagnosed of congestive hepatomegaly have been reviewed in order to analyze some of the clinical and analytical parameters. The protocol for the study consisted of ten variables: sex, age, quality and size of the hepatomegaly, presence of hepatojugular reflux, jugular engorgement, ankle edema, abdominal ultrasonography, laboratory data and any other pertinent exploration. The mean age of the patients was 69 (31%). 65% of the cases had ankle edema. Prothrombin time was abnormal in 12% of the total series and in 27.9% of those with abnormal laboratory data. The most common ECG finding was atrial fibrillation (26%). The second most common was complete bundle block (21%).
