The purpose of this study was to compare diabetes (DM)-related outcomes between basal-bolus (BB) and premixed (PM) insulin regimens. ⋯ There were no significant differences for glycemic control, hypoglycemia rate or BMI between the BB or PM insulin groups. These results suggest PM insulin is equally effective and safe as BB insulin.

Inflammation plays an important role in developing myocardial infarction (MI). This study examined whether a proinflammatory diet is associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction. ⋯ Dietary patterns with high proinflammatory properties are associated with an increased risk of MI. Advocating for low proinflammatory dietary patterns could be an approach for preventing coronary heart disease.

Cardiovascular manifestations in patients with COVID-19 are associated with dire outcomes. Long COVID syndrome is the persistence of symptoms after acute disease and is found in up to 40% of subjects. There is little information regarding subacute echocardiographic manifestations after COVID-19, and no study has included a Mexican mestizo population. ⋯ Patients who recover from COVID-19 have a high prevalence of subtle RV and LV dysfunction using GLS analysis. A moderate to severe episode was associated with worse RV and LV function measured by RV GLS, TAPSE, and LV GLS. Subjects with persistent symptoms had worse RVGLS and TAPSE.
