Introduction. The therapeutic support of the metabolic control of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) are the diet and physical activity.Objetive: To study the effect of a short and casual exercise on the basal and postprandial intermediary metabolism of individuals with DM2. Methods. A total of 16 female and 15 male, DM2 patients, 40 to 68 years old, were included in a experimental, tranversal study. They were submitted to a basal (A) and post-exercise (B) tests, the last one consisting in 30 minutes walking at 4 Km/hour on a treadmill, Under fasting, state, glucose, total cholesterol , HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, insulin and non-sterified fatty acids (NEFA) were measured in blood. Cholesterol VLDL, LDL, Non-HDL and HOMA were calculated. After a breakfast consisting in 55,5% fat, 37,2 % carbohydrates, 7,34% proteins containing 730 Kcal, glucose, insulin...

We present the case of a 31 year-old patient with the diagnosis of lung tuberculosis by lung X-ray and positive acid alcohol resistant bacillus in sputum, who after 10 days of oral treatment with isoniazid, ethambutol, pyrazinamide and rifampicin (RFP), developed severe hemorrhagic manifestations associated with severe thrombocytopenia (2 000/mL) and slight right body hemiparesis. There was complete normalization of platelet count and motor function five days after suspension of the four drugs. We decided to re-expose the patient sequentially to the four drugs and after 12 hours of receiving RFP again developed severe thrombocytopenia (2 000/mL) not occurring with the other three drugs, and normalized completely after 36 hours of drug suspension. Later on, the addition of parenteral streptomycin successfully completed the treatment. The current case demonstrates a not very frequent adver...

OBJETIVE: To determine normal metabolism variations following food ingestion. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 33 normal middle-aged and old adults, 16 female and 17 male, 45-70 years old (average 56,3 ± 7,32), were studied both after a 12-14 hours nocturnal fast and following ingestion of a food mixture containing 730 kcal, 55,4% fat, 37,2% carbohydrates and 7,4% protein, an almost standard breakfast. Blood samples were obtained at fasting state and during 6 hours after the ingestion of the meal described before. Glucose, triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol were measured by enzymatic methods, insuline by radioimmune assay and non–esterified fatty acids (NEFA) by the method of Duncombe. RESULTS: Blood glucose rose from 30 minutes to the 2nd hour; insulin from 30 minutes to the 4th hour, triglycerides rose from the 2nd to 4th hour and then began to decline at the 6th h...
