The use of antipsychotics in the long term > 20 years has a negative effect on people with schizophrenia. Apart from the symptoms of schizophrenia, the emergence of metabolic syndrome needs attention. Metabolic syndrome as a negative effect of antipsychotics will have an impact on heart disorders and diabetes mellitus. Various approaches have been taken to reduce metabolic syndrome starting from a mideteran diet, low gluten, and a ketogenic diet. The purpose of this study was to determine the ketogenic diet as a new strategy for handling schizophrenics. This study is a literature review using the Pubmed search engine and Science direct. The key words used was the ketogenic diet and schizophrenia. A total of 3 articles were analyzed according to the PRISMA protocol. Research is needed on the effect of the ketogenic diet on improving the condition of schizophrenics.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a fairly common disease that occupies one of the leading positions among the reasons of endocrine infertility. Women with this diagnosis have an increased risk of developing diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome (dyslipidemia, decreased sensitivity to peripheral tissue insulin, hyperinsulinemia). Currently, a step-by-step and individual approach to treatment has been applied, including both conservative treatments and surgical ones.

Physical activity enhances physical health, reduces disease, and resists metabolic syndrome and obesity, while sitting for extended periods of time has a negative effect on long term health outcomes. Thus, reducing sitting time has been identified as a health-enhancing goal. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions and responses of college students to sitting versus standing in class. Five standing desks were placed in a classroom of traditional sitting desks. In a counterbalanced, within subjects design, 88 undergraduate students (age M=21.64, SD=6.55 years) participated in the study. Some participating students first stood at a desk for three consecutive class meetings and then sat for three classes while others sat for three consecutive classes and then stood for three. Surveys were administered at the beginning and end of each class and at the end of six consecutive class sessions. Results indicated that mood was signifi- cantly higher on standing than sitting days, the majority of participants had a favorable perception of the standing-in-class experience, and would use standing stations if the option was available. This study is one of few to examine the viability and response to adding standing desks in college classrooms, and indicates standing desks may be perceived favorably and could be utilized to reduce sitting time.

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory arthritis, most commonly occurring several years after the onset of psoriasis. Psoriatic arthritis is associated with many comorbidities, including diabetes mellitus, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, fibromyalgia, and cardiovascular disease. Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory myopathy primarily affecting the skin and muscles. As per literature review, cases of psoriasis and dermatomyositis have been reported. In most published cases, the courses of these diseases develop independently. This is the case of a 45-year-old woman initially diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis who developed concurrent dermatomyositis. The methods used were PubMed search and UpToDate search.


Chapter 8 covers the basic science and clinical topics relating to the endocrine system which trainees are required to learn as part of their basic training and demonstrate in the MRCP. It covers diabetes mellitus, diabetic emergencies, diabetes-long-term management, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, the diabetic foot, diabetic skin, the diabetic pregnancy, and metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.

Polycystic ovary syndrome is one of the most common endocrine abnormalities in women. It affects both reproductive life and overall health of the women including metabolic abnormalities. A multidisciplinary approach is needed in those with metabolic variations to prevent them from the long-term complications like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus. The objective of this article is to review the association between PCOS and metabolic syndrome.

: Diabetes Mellitus is characterized as a set of metabolic disorders that have hyperglycemia in common, caused by defects in the action and / or in the secretion of insulin. It is a noncommunicable disease, considered one of the main public health problems and of widespread growth in the world, a difficult condition to treat and expensive to manage. Metabolic surgery is a safe treatment, regulated by the Federal Council of Medicine and indicated for the treatment of people with a Body Mass Index above 30, who are not successful in controlling pathologies associated with obesity, especially type 2 diabetes. The general objective of this study is to understand through a literature review the main impacts of metabolic surgery on the remission of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The present study is an exploratory and descriptive study carried out through a literature review. Data were collected through searches in virtual health databases, at the Virtual Health Library - VHL, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Information System, LILACS, National Library of Medicine - MEDLINE, Scielo, database USP, PUBMED theses and books. Metabolic surgery proves to be an effective treatment to achieve not only sustained weight loss, but also a significant metabolic improvement that goes beyond mere weight loss. Metabolic surgery provides a more effective way to achieve long-term weight loss in obese individuals, increasing overall survival in this group of patients. Obese DM2 patients have a good chance of achieving long-term remission of DM2 after bariatric / metabolic surgery. Therefore, it concludes that such procedure is effective in the treatment of the disease and other diseases associated with obesity.
