RESUMO

La prevalencia de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 está incrementando rápidamente a nivel mundial de manera paralela a la epidemia de obesidad. El número de personas con diabetes, alrededor del mundo, se ha duplicado en los últimos 20 años; una de las características más preocupantes de este rápido crecimiento es el aparecimiento de diabetes tipo 2 en niños, adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. Debido a la reducción de la esperanza de vida causada por las morbilidades producidas por la diabetes, los pacientes que sufren de esta patología requieren un manejo integral. La cirugía bariátrica / metabólica ha demostrado que: • Mejora significativamente el control glucémico. • Reduce los factores de riesgo cardiovasculares. • Incluso ha demostrado la posibilidad de producir remisión de la diabetes tipo 2, hipertensión arterial y otras comorbilidades asociadas con la obesidad. Los resultados de múltiples estudios demuestran claramente la eficacia de la cirugía metabólica en el control glucémico y de otras comorbilidades asociadas con la diabetes tipo 2 y la obesidad; se observa, con mucha frecuencia, casos de remisión de la diabetes, incluso hasta 5 años después de la intervención quirúrgica. Por esta razón, la Asociación Americana para la Diabetes (ADA) considera a la cirugía bariátrica como una opción terapéutica viable en pacientes obesos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2.Las cirugías gastrointestinales diseñadas para controlar la obesidad pueden mejorar la homeostasis de la glucosa más efectivamente que el tratamiento farmacológico-clínico y producir cambios importantes en el estilo de vida; incluso, en un considerable número de pacientes, se logra la remisión de la diabetes tipo 2.

The prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus is rapidly increasing to global level parallel to the epidemic that obesity. The number of people with diabetes, around the world, have doubled in the last 20 years; one of the most worrisome features of this rapid growth It is the appearance of type 2 diabetes in children, adolescents and young adults. Due to the reduction in life expectancy caused by morbidities produced by diabetes, patients suffering from this pathology require comprehensive management bariatric / metabolic surgery has shown that: • Significantly improves glycemic control. • Reduces cardiovascular risk factors. • It has even demonstrated the possibility of producing diabetes remission type 2, arterial hypertension and other comorbidities associated with obesity. The results of multiple studies clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of the metabolic surgery in glycemic control and other associated comorbidities with type 2 diabetes and obesity; cases are very often observed of remission of diabetes, even up to 5 years after the intervention surgical For this reason, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) considers bariatric surgery as a viable therapeutic option in obese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Gastrointestinal surgeries designed to control obesity can improve glucose homeostasis more effectively than treatment clinical pharmacological and produce important changes in lifestyle; even, in a considerable number of patients, remission of the type 2 diabetes.

RESUMO

Acute appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal emergencies, even though most cases of appendicitis will be due to obstruction of the appendiceal lumen, in rare occasions and mostly due to poor sanitary conditions a parasitic infection may cause appendicitis. Entamoeba histolytica is a common parasite and has a broad clinical spectrum from an asymptomatic disease to a life-threatening condition. In rare occasions, trophozoites can invade the appendiceal wall causing appendicitis. Preoperative diagnosis of acute amebic appendicitis is usually difficult, yet surgical treatment as in non-amebic appendicitis is the treatment of choice. However, due to the increased rate of postoperative complications associated with acute amebic appendicitis, a course of nitroimidazoles, and increased awareness in basic sanitary measures is usually recommended. We present a case of a 29-year-old woman, she presented with abdominal pain and appendicitis was suspected. After successful surgery, pathology confirmed acute amebic appendicitis.
