Abstract Clinical features and natural history of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) differ widely among different countries during phases the pandemia. Here, we aimed to evaluate case fatality rate (CFR) identify predictors mortality in a cohort COVID-19 patients admitted three hospitals Northern Italy between March 1 April 28, 2020. All these had confirmed diagnosis SARS-CoV-2 infection by molecular methods. During study period 504/1697 died; thus, overall CFR was 29.7%. We looked for...
Introduction. The clinical course of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is highly heterogenous, ranging from asymptomatic to fatal forms. identification and laboratory predictors poor prognosis may assist clinicians in monitoring strategies therapeutic decisions. Materials Methods. In this study, we retrospectively assessed the prognostic value a simple tool, complete blood count, on cohort 664 patients ( <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <mi>F</mi> </math> 260; 39%,...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> The diagnosis of growth hormone deficiency (GHD) in adults is based on a reduced GH response to provocative tests, such as the insulin tolerance test (ITT) and GH-releasing (GHRH) + arginine (ARG) test. However, cut-off limits peak lean subjects are not reliable obese patients; this noteworthy since adult GHD often associated with obesity. To date, there no ITT cut-offs related body mass index (BMI)....
Ultrasonographic fetal measurements from 293 singleton pregnancies were obtained within 7 days of delivery. Biparietal diameter, abdominal circumference, femur length, and actual birth weight data the first 93 fetuses in study used as variables to determine best mathematical model for relating estimated biparietal length. With aid a computer, three regression equations derived. The was Log10 (weight) = 0.77125 + 0.13244 (AC) - 0.12996 (FL) 1.73588 (AC x AC)/1000 3.09212 (FL 2.18984 (FL/AC);...
The discrepancy between the biomarkers of disease's activity in acromegalic patients (GH and IGF-1) is almost frequent representing a challenge for development comorbidities long term. aim this study was to evaluate prevalence severity metabolic (diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia) surgically treated with disease control discordant GH and/or IGF-1 levels compared those concordant values.Retrospective monocentric observational on biochemical remission (group A) or mild B). Metabolic...
To evaluate clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes in a heterogeneous population of Caucasians born Italy High Migration Pressure Countries (HMPC) women with GDM living Piedmont, North Italy.We retrospectively analyzed data from 586 referring to our unit (2015-2020). Epidemiological (age country origin) clinical-metabolic features (height, weight, family history DM, parity, previous GDM, OGTT results, treatment) were collected. The database certificates care at delivery was...
Abstract Purpose The uncertainty on the management of small adrenal incidentalomas (AIs) still represents a challenge in real clinical practice. Considering lack knowledge risk factors implicated tumour enlargement, aim this study was to identify for morphological changes during follow-up (AIs). Methods We retrospectively evaluated demographic, clinical, radiological and biochemical parameters 153 AIs (2007–2021). Patients with histological diagnosis metastases or pheochromocytoma were...

Abstract Purpose Data regarding 18F-FDG PET for the characterization of adrenal lesions are limited; to evaluate performance tumour-to-liver maximum standardized uptake values (SUVratio) > 1.5 predict malignancy. Patients and methods : Retrospective analysis undergoing 18F-FDG-PET/CT (2013–2022). Gold standard benignity was: i) histology; ii) stability or minimal diameter increase (< 20%/< 5 mm) on 12-months follow-up. The SUVratio optimal in our population was calculated by ROC...
SummaryDuring the third trimester of pregnancy umbilical artery pulsatility index was measured in 30 insulin dependent diabetic women, classes B to R, according White (1978) classification. A mean capillary glucose value > 6.1 mmol/1 (110 mg/dl) selected indicate poor control. The patients were divided into three groups (10 each) based on blood glucose: group I, < mg/dl); II, 6.1-7.2 (130 III, 7.2 mg/dl). Each patient had one measurement at 31 weeks and 34 weeks. No Doppler measurements...
Sommario La fisiopatologia dell’invecchiamento non è ancora stata del tutto chiarita sebbene numerosi filoni di ricerca siano attivi in questo ambito considerazione dell’aumento della vita media popolazione generale. Il sistema endocrino riveste un ruolo critico contesto quanto, durante l’invecchiamento, avvengono importanti modifiche nel pattern secretorio dell’asse ipotalamo-ipofisi e nella sua sensibilità ai meccanismi feedback. Risulta pertanto evidente come, nell’ambito quotidiana...
