dc.rights.license[English] Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high levels of glucose in the blood caused by a defect in the secretion of the hormone insulin or a defect in its action. The consequences of having uncontrolled high blood glucose levels are numerous and serious. One of the main consequences being damage to the peripheral nerves, also called peripheral neuropathy. Objective: To implement the use of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument to determine peripheral neuropathy in patients who come to the INDEN hospital for diabetes consultation for the first time. Methods: This investigation applied The Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument which is composed of a fifteen-question section and a physical examination of the lower limbs, looking for the presence of deformities or any abnormality, ulcers, Achilles reflex, and perception of vibration. 100 total subjects who visited INDEN hospital for the first time for diabetic consultation were examined. The study was carried out in the period of October 2021. Results: A total of 100 subjects were examined in this investigation (50 females, 50 male) with a mean age of 53.08 years. The mean score of the MNSI questionnaire and the physical exam was 3.15 with a standard deviation of 2.13 and 2.72 with a standard deviation of 1.71 respectively. Positive tests for peripheral neuropathy were detected in 66% of the subjects with a mean age of 56.22 years. Correlations were found between the positive findings of the Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument and subjects’ diet, physical activity and exercise, presence of comorbidities other than Diabetes Mellitus, schooling, and alcohol consumption.-

dc.description.abstract[Español] Introducción: La causa más frecuente de malignidad del sistema óseo es la metástasis. El diagnóstico temprano de estas lesiones metastásicas a hueso es de suma importancia a la hora del manejo y estadiaje del cáncer. El objetivo del estudio es comparar la gammagrafía ósea y el PET/CT y ver cuál es más efectivo a la hora de darle seguimiento a los pacientes con lesiones metastásicas óseas. Métodos: Se hará una búsqueda en la base de datos de la Clínica Abreu y CEDIMAT pacientes con lesiones metastásicas óseas que se hayan realizado un PET/CT o una gammagrafía ósea. La información recaudada de las imágenes será comparada. Para razones estadísticas, nos guiaremos de los análisis acatados por el programa Microsoft Office Excel 2020 para las variables a medir, y del Microsoft Office Word 2020 para anotar las descripciones de cada imagen a evaluar y comparar de cada estudio de imagen por paciente. Resultados: Se espera que las imágenes tomadas por la tomografía por emisión de positrones tengan un mayor valor diagnostico en las lesiones metastásicas óseas que aquellas tomadas por la gammagrafía ósea. Discusión: Gracias a los resultados obtenidos se espera que se utilice la tomografía por emisión de positrones en pacientes con metástasis a hueso gracias a su especificidad, su sensibilidad y la exactitud de realizar el diagnostico. De esta manera se puede hacer un diagnóstico temprano de este tipo de lesiones y se puede visualizar la progresión de la enfermedad de manera efectiva.-
dc.description.abstract[English] Introduction: The most frequent cause of malignancy of the bone system is metastasis. Early diagnosis of these metastatic bone lesions is of utmost importance when managing and staging the cancer. The objective of the study is to compare bone scan and PET / CT and see which is more effective in following up patients with metastatic bone lesions. Methods: A search will be made in the database of the Abreu Clinic and CEDIMAT for patients with metastatic bone lesions who have undergone a PET / CT or a bone scan. The information gathered from the images will be compared. For statistical reasons, we will be relying on the analysis taken from Microsoft Office Excel 2020, for the variables to be considered, and Microsoft Office Word 2020 to write down the descriptions for the images to be evaluated and compared for every imaging technique per patient. Results: It is expected that the images taken by positron emission tomography have a greater diagnostic value in bone metastatic lesions than those taken by bone scintigraphy. Discussion: Thanks to the results obtained, it is expected that positron emission tomography will be used in patients with bone metastases due to its specificity, its sensitivity and the accuracy of making the diagnosis. In this way, an early diagnosis of these types of lesions can be made and the progression of the disease can be visualized effectively.-
