Oral glucose tolerance testing at 1 h and 2 h: relationship with glucose and ca...
Guerreiro, V; Maia, I; Neves, JS; Salazar, D; Ferreira, MJ; Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Borges-Canha, M; Viana, S; Costa, C; Pedro, J; Varela, A; Lau, EBackground: One hour plasma glucose concentration (1hPG) during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) may be an alternative to 2-h plasma glucose concentration (2hPG) in the identification of individuals at increased risk of hyperglycaemia, although its role is not fully understood. Aim: We aim to investigate the relationship of these measures with other glucose parameters, as well as their relationship with ca...
Global Impact of COVID-19 on Stroke Care and IV Thrombolysis
Nogueira, RG; Qureshi, MM; Abdalkader, M; Martins, SO; Yamagami, H; Qiu, Z; Mansour, OY; Sathya, A; Czlonkowska, A; Tsivgoulis, G; Aguiar de Sousa, DObjective: To measure the global impact of COVID-19 pandemic on volumes of IV thrombolysis (IVT), IVT transfers, and stroke hospitalizations over 4 months at the height of the pandemic (March 1 to June 30, 2020) compared with 2 control 4-month periods. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, observational, retrospective study across 6 continents, 70 countries, and 457 stroke centers. Diagnoses were identified ...
The impact of vitamin d in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A cross-sectional...
Borges-Canha, M; Neves, JS; Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Costa, C; Cabral, PM; Guerreiro, V; Lourenço, R; Meira, P; Salazar, D; Ferreira, MJ; Pedro, JPurpose: We aimed to evaluate the association between vitamin D status and hepatic function parameters and scores: Fatty Liver Index (FLI, predictor of hepatic steatosis) and BARD (BMI, AST/ALT ratio and DM, predictor of hepatic fibrosis) in patients with morbid obesity. Patients and Methods: Cross-sectional study including patients with morbid obesity followed in our centre between January 2010 and July 2018. ...
Beta Cell Function as a Baseline Predictor of Weight Loss After Bariatric Surgery
Borges-Canha, M; Neves, JS; Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Costa, C; M Cabral, P; Guerreiro, V; Lourenço, R; Meira, P; Salazar, D; Ferreira, MJ; Pedro, JBackground: Obesity is a multifactorial disease, which is strongly associated to other metabolic disorders. Bariatric surgery is the most effective treatment of morbid obesity. The role of beta cell function in weight loss after bariatric surgery is uncertain. Aim: To evaluate the association between beta cell function and percentage of total body weight loss (TBWL%) 1, 2, 3, and 4 years after bariatric surgery...
Avascular femoral necrosis as part of Cushing syndrome presentation: a case report
Salazar, D; Esteves, C; Ferreira, MJ; Pedro, J; Pimenta, T; Portugal, R; Carvalho, DBackground: The clinical characteristics and complications of Cushing syndrome (CS) are well known and described in the literature. Nevertheless, rare, atypical presentations may go unnoticed. Osteonecrosis is a well-documented complication of glucocorticoid therapy. However, endogenous hypercortisolism is a rare, but relevant, cause of bone avascular necrosis. We describe the case of a woman with CS undiagnose...

Adequate magnesium level as an associated factor of pre-diabetes and diabetes m...
Guerreiro, V; Maia, I; Neves, JS; Salazar, D; Ferreira, MJ; Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Viana, S; Costa, C; Pedro, J; Varela, A; Lau, E; Freitas, PBariatric surgery (BS) can lead to remission of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), however, the evidence on the influence of preoperative serum magnesium levels on this reversal is scarce. To study the influence of preoperative serum magnesium levels on the pre-T2DM and T2DM remission one year after BS. Retrospective study carried out among 1656 patients with obesity who underwent BS in the Centro Hospitalar Univ...
Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Among Bariatric Patients: Unraveling the Prevalen...
Mendonça, FM; Neves, JS; Silva, MM; Borges Canha, M; Costa, C; Cabral, PM; Guerreiro, V; Lourenço, R; Meira, P; Correia, Flora; Salazar, D; Pedro, JIntroduction Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective therapeutic approach to obesity. It is associated with great gastrointestinal anatomic changes, predisposing the patients to altered nutrient absorption that impacts phosphocalcium metabolism. This study aimed to clarify the prevalence of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) and its predictors in patients submitted to BS. Methods Retrospective study of 1...
Cushing's syndrome: Consequences of late diagnosis after bariatric surgery
Pedro, J; Belo, S; Guerreiro, V; Ferreira, MJ; Salazar, D; Costa, C; Esteves, C; Pereira, J; Freitas, P; Carvalho, DPrior to bariatric surgery, endocrine causes of obesity must be excluded. The diagnosis of osteoporosis in a male requires the study of secondary causes of this condition. The diagnostic delay of Cushing's syndrome may have irreversible consequences.
Bariatric Surgery Impact on Cardiovascular Risk Factors: Is Age a Factor to Con...
Mendonça, F; Silva, MM; Salazar, D; Correia, Flora; Pedro, J; Guerreiro, V; Viana, S; Neves, JS; Belo, S; Varela, A; Freitas, P; Carvalho, DavideIntroduction: Despite the abundance of data addressing the influence of patient's age on surgery-related complications, its impact on cardiometabolic outcomes following bariatric surgery has been overlooked. Methods: Retrospective unicentric study of 1,728 obese patients who underwent bariatric surgery between January 2010 and June 2015. Patients were divided in 3 age groups, according to their age at surgery: ...
