Diagnosis and management of acromegaly: a consensus statement of the pituitary ...

Acromegaly 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...

Este estudo pretendeu explorar os efeitos do programa RadioATIVIDADE, ba...

Predictors of therapeutic failure in GH and prolactin co-secreting pituitary ad...

Aim: To evaluate which factors are associated with a higher probability of failure to surgical and first-generation somatostatin receptor ligands (fgSRLs) treatment in patients with growth hormone and prolactin co-secreting pituitary adenomas (GH&PRL-PAs). Methods: Acromegaly patients with GH&PRL-PAs included in the ACRO-SPAIN study were enrolled. GH&PRL-PAs were defined as tumors with serum PRL levels above th...

Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty as Facilitatorfor Renal Transplantation in Patie...

Introduction: Obesity is a major barrier to kidney transplantation, associated with increased perioperative complications and reduced graft survival. Traditional bariatric surgeries have shown effectiveness in weight reduction but present challenges in pharmacokinetics and nutritional status. Endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty has emerged as a less invasive alternative, potentially suitable as a bridge to renal tra...

CCL2 expression predicts clinical outcomes and regulates E-cadherin and angioge...

The crosstalk between tumour cells and microenvironment components in pituitary neuroendocrine tumours (PitNETs), including chemokines, may impact tumour behaviour and clinical outcomes. CCL2 was previously identified as a key chemokine in PitNETs, but its role remains unknown. We aimed to study the role of CCL2 in defining the phenotype and clinical outcomes of PitNETs and in regulating macrophage chemotaxis, ...
