Hundreds of thousands of bariatric surgeries are performed worldwide every year. Th ey have long been proven to be safe and eff ective in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes. Along with an unconditional positive eff ect, these interventions, especially shunting ones, are characterized by specifi c complications. In the absence of proper correction, they can become fatal for patients. One of these complications is malabsorption leading to a defi ciency of vitamins and microelements, which in most cases, is amenable to timely correction in the postoperative period. However, there are situations when it is not possible to carry out an eff ective correction and it becomes necessary to perform reconstructive interventions with the reverse inclusion of the small intestine in the digestion, which is associated with great diffi culties. Th e authors demonstrated this situation in the description of clinical observation of a patient with postoperative hypothyroidism and history of postoperative hypoparathyroidism, who underwent bariatric surgery. Impaired absorption of drugs (L-thyroxine, calcium, and vitamin D), and therefore, uncompensated hypothyroidism and hypocalcemia was an indication for reconstructive surgery.

Several modifiable factors may influence cardiac function in diabetic patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of vitamin D level on the stage of coronary atherosclerosis in cardiac patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The study was performed in 337 consecutive patients undergoing coronarography. The stage of atherosclerosis was evaluated using Coronary Artery Surgery Study Score. The plasma 25(OH)D concentration was determined by an electrochemiluminescence method. Patients without significant lesions in coronary arteries presented the highest 25(OH)D level, significantly higher than patients with one-, two-, and three-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) (p<0.01). Significantly lower level of the 25(OH)D was observed in patients hospitalized due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in comparison to patients hospitalized due to stable CAD (p<0.001). Lower 25(OH)D levels were observed in patients with the history of myocardial infarction (MI) in comparison to patients without previous MI (p<0.001). In cardiac patients with diabetes, the higher number of stenotic coronary arteries is associated with lower values of the 25(OH)D. A group of male cardiac patients with diabetes with significant stenosis in three coronary arteries, hospitalized due to acute coronary syndrome, with a history of previous MI and hyperlipidemia presented the lowest vitamin D level.

Objectives of the study: To describe a clinical case of care and treatment of severe post-traumatic wounds in a patient with type 2 diabetes at the General Clinic of Hanoi University of Public Health. Patient: A 56-year-old man with a history of type 2 diabetes who did not receive treatment regularly, entered the clinic on August 9, 2018, for the reason of pain and runny pus at the forearm wound. Two months ago, the patient fell down the stairs, injured his forearm, and had an extensive ulcer wound that got infected. The patient was treated at many hospitals but the wound was not healed, deep ulcers had to be cut and kept it open. After that, the patient admitted to the clinic, was performed some subclinical tests, received internal treatment combined with surgery, was cared for the wound by infrared light, and followed a nutrition plan for diabetics. After 4 months of treatment, the wound healed, formed a scar, and painless. Conclusion: Treating infected wounds in patients with special conditions is extremely difficult. To heal quickly, we can combine many treatments such as internal medicine, surgery, and physical therapy, nutrition therapy. Keywords: infected wound, type 2 diabetes
