Infecção Por Covid-19 Em Pacientes Com Diabetes Mellitus Tipo 2: Uma Revisão De Literatura

Abstract

Intussusception is the invagination of a bowel segment into another immediately adjacent, causing obstruction, and the etiology can be benign, malignant, or idiopathic. The diagnosis may be obtained by ultrasound scans, or computed tomography imaging that can detect characteristics findings. Small bowel obstruction due to intussusception of inverted Meckel's diverticulum is a rare condition that usually constitutes a challenging diagnosis in adulthood. The surgical management in adults is often performed by en bloc resection without reduction attempts. We report a case of CASE REPORTS a middle-aged man with acute intestinal obstruction due to an ileo-ileal intussusception of inverted Meckel's diverticulum with a lipoma that was managed by laparoscopy. Worthy of note is the very scarce number of case reports on this exceeding uncommon association.

COVID-19 and diabetes relationships - new lessons

“…We read the recent review by Batista Filho ARS et al including 23 articles focusing the association between the type 2 diabetes with COVID-19 infection, from 2019 to 2022. 1 The authors analyzed literature data focusing immunological phenomena in response to physiological and metabolic stress producing the acutephase reactants that can origin a chain of the systemic autonomic, endocrine, hematological, and immunological reactions. Worthy of note, are the comments on the role played by each interrelated pro-and anti-inflammatory steps included in the complex spectrum of the acutephase response.…”

“…Worthy of note, are the comments on the role played by each interrelated pro-and anti-inflammatory steps included in the complex spectrum of the acutephase response. 1 Besides, the type 2 diabetes was highlighted as a main risk factor for a worse outcome on the physio-pathological mechanisms involving hyperglycemia in inflammation context, and the age group of patients can play a role on bad prognosis of the clinical case course. 1 In this scenario, one should add literature data of 2023 in accordance with the key points mentioned above and also related to the acute and post-COVID-19 periods, with particular interest on the genesis and consequences of the glycemic disturbances.…”
