Data regarding high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) are unknown.To evaluate the areal bone mineral density (aBMD), microstructure, and fractures nonfunctioning AI (NFAI) autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS).We evaluated 45 NFAI (1 mg dexamethasone suppression test [DST] ≤1.8 µg/dL) 30 ACS DST 1.9-5.0 µg/dL). aBMD was measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; vertebral fracture by spine X-ray; geometry,...
Introduction: Both self-expanding (SEV) and balloon-expandable (BEV) valves are used in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) for patients with severe stenosis (AS) small annulus (SAA). This updated meta-analysis compares the efficacy safety of SEV versus BEV TAVI these patients. Hypothesis: study investigates whether hemodynamically clinically superior to annulus. Methods: PubMed, SCOPUS, Cochrane Central databases were systematically searched randomized observational studies...
