The European Society of Endocrinology (ESE) and the Union Européenne des Médecins Spécialistes (U.E.M.S.) Section and Board of Endocrinology have produced a Curriculum and Training Recommendation in Endocrinology to provide updated recommendations concerning the content and structure of postgraduate training. Cornerstones of the Curriculum are the integrity of Endocrinology not to be divided into subspecialties...

Double Pituitary Incidentaloma in a Young Woman With Sinusitis-Related Headache

Efficacy and Safety of Novel Left Ventricular Pacing Leads: 1-Year Analysis of ...

Objectives: Assess safety and performance of novel quadripolar preshaped left ventricular (LV) leads: NAVIGO 4LV 2D ('S shaped') and NAVIGO 4LV ARC ('U shaped'). Methods: Patients indicated for cardiac resynchronisation therapy were enrolled in a multicentre, prospective, controlled study (NAVIGATOR, NCT03279484). Patients were implanted with either a NAVIGO 4LV 2D or ARC lead, and assessed at 10 weeks, 6, 12 a...

Massive Hematometra With Bilateral Hematosalpinx

Brain functional connectivity is altered in patients with Takotsubo Syndrome

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is an acute, reversible cardiomyopathy. The central autonomic nervous system (ANS) is believed to play a role in this disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate the patterns of brain functional connectivity in a sample of patients who had experienced a previous episode of TTS. Brain functional connectivity, both at rest and in response to the stressful stimulus of topical ...

Resposta biológica sistémica às partículas de desgaste de próteses da anca

Os excelentes resultados alcançados a curto e médio prazo com as endopróteses articulares aplicadas em Ortopedia, não resistem à prova do tempo. O desgaste tribológico dos biomateriais incluídos na sua composição, conduz à formação de partículas que estão na origem de reações de intolerância biológica, reações “a corpo estranho”, as quais provocam osteólises periprotéticas de maior ou menor dimensão levando, em...

Hiperaldosteronismo primário: resultados do primeiro estudo multicêntrico portu...

Introduction: Primary Aldosteronism (PA) is the most prevalent cause of secondary hypertension. Nevertheless, there is no portuguese multicenter study characterizing PA patients. Aims: To characterize the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, treatment and follow-up of patients with confirmed PA. Methods: Retrospective multicenter study of PA patients followed in 9 portuguese hospitals. Results: Sixty-three...

Diplopia, Convergent Strabismus, and Eye Abduction Palsy in a 12-Year-Old Boy w...

Pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) is defined by clinical criteria of increased intracranial pressure, elevated intracranial pressure with normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) composition, and exclusion of other causes such tumors, vascular abnormalities, or infections. The association of PTC with levothyroxine (LT4) has been reported. A 12-year-old boy has been followed up for autoimmune thyroiditis under LT4. Family histo...

The Bounds Of Education In The Human Brain Connectome

Inter-individual heterogeneity is evident in aging; education level is known to contribute for this heterogeneity. Using a cross-sectional study design and network inference applied to resting-state fMRI data, we show that aging was associated with decreased functional connectivity in a large cortical network. On the other hand, education level, as measured by years of formal education, produced an opposite eff...

What are the best policies for fighting poverty? Learning from the recent Europ...

Contrary to all expectations and policy goals, poverty is on the rise in the European Union (EU). In fact, one of the headline targets of the current Europe 2020 strategy is precisely to lift at least 20 million people out of the risk of poverty or social exclusion. This setback can be largely explained by the crisis. Eventually, cohesion and political legitimacy may be put in jeopardy. Therefore, the growth in...
