Diagnosis and management of acromegaly: a consensus statement of the pituitary ...
Cardoso, Luís Miguel; Marques, Pedro; Pereira, Maria Teresa; Agapito, Ana; Almeida, Rui; Amaral, Sara; Cattoni, Maria Begona; Bugalho, Maria JoãoAcromegaly is characterised by hypersecretion of growth hormone and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that require consensus and guidelines for effective management. The Pituitary Study Group of the Portuguese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism used a modified Delphi methodology to develop consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and management of acromegaly. A multidisciplinary p...
Doseamento Hormonal das Veias Supra-Renais: como Fazemos
Neves, Teresa; Caetano, António; Manique, Inês; Amaral, Sara; Godinho, Conceição; Coimbra, Élia; Bilhim, TiagoO hiper-aldosterolismo primário é a causa mais comum de hipertensão secundária. Quando originado por patologia unilateral, pode ser tratado curativamente por adrenalectomia. O doseamento hormonal por cateterismo das veias supra-renais (VSRs) é essencial para discriminar entre patologia uni versus bilateral. O conhecimento da anatomia normal e variantes das VSRs é importante para evitar falsos negativos e aument...
Absolute hyperglycemia versus stress hyperglycemia ratio for the prognosis of h...
Matias, Alexandra A.; Manique, Inês; Sabino, Teresa; Rego, Teresa; Mihon, Claudia; Panarra, António; Rizzo, Manfredi; Silva-Nunes, JoséDiabetes is a risk factor for the greater severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) is an independent predictor of critical illness, and it is reported to have a stronger association than absolute hyperglycemia. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between absolute hyperglycemia and SHR with the severity of COVID-19 since there are no studies investiga...
Adrenal vein sampling in the management of primary aldosteronism: the added val...
Manique, Inês; Amaral, Sara; Matias, Alexandra; Bouça, Bruno; Serranito, Salomé; Torres, João; Gutu, Olga; Bilhim, Tiago; Coimbra, ÉliaIntroduction: Primary aldosteronism is the most common cause of secondary hypertension. Adrenal vein sampling is the gold standard for subtyping primary aldosteronism. However, this procedure is technically challenging and often has a low success rate. Our center is one of the very few performing this technique in our country with an increasing experience. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the role of the...
Pituitary metastasis as the first manifestation of lung carcinoma
Amaral, Sara; Matias, Alexandra; Bouça, Bruno; Manique, Inês; Palha, Ana; Cortez, Luísa; Cerqueira, Luís; Forte, Dalila; Sagarribay, AmetsPituitary metastases are rare. Clinical presentation could range from asymptomatic to panhypopituitarism or local symptoms. We present a case report of a 43-year-old male patient with a new onset headache, visual disturbances, and panhypopituitarism. The investigation led to the diagnosis of pituitary metastasis as the first manifestation of underlying lung cancer.
Does the hyperglycemia impact on COVID-19 outcomes depend upon the presence of ...
Manique, Inês; Matias, Alexandra Abegão; Bouça, Bruno; Rego, Teresa; Cortez, Luísa; Sabino, Teresa; Panarra, António; Rizzo, Manfredi; Silva-Nunes, JoséDiabetes mellitus (DM) has emerged as a major risk factor for COVID-19 severity and SARS-CoV-2 infection can worsen glycemic control and may precipitate new-onset diabetes. At-admission hyperglycemia (AH) is a known predictor for worse outcomes in many diseases and seems to have a similar effect in COVID-19 patients. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of AH regardless of pre-existing diabetes mellitus...
