Abstract The diagnosis of adrenal insufficiency (AI) is challenging due to nonspecific symptoms. Measuring 8 AM serum cortisol levels a common screening test, but its accuracy in predicting AI remains uncertain. This study aimed evaluate the predictive diagnostic value basal morning suspected cases and compare them with healthy individuals. We have conducted retrospective multicentric cohort study. included an epidemiological (patients suspicion) control (healthy volunteers). In...
Iodine is the key element for thyroid hormone synthesis, and its deficiency, even moderate, harmful in pregnancy, when needs are increased, because of potential deleterious effects on fetal brain development. In Portugal, no recent data iodine intake exists. The objective this countrywide study was to analyze status pregnant Portuguese women order propose adequate measures health authorities.Using a fast colorimetric method, urine concentration (UIC) evaluated 3631 followed 17 maternity...
Caponization is associated with some morbidity and mortality, which contributes to important economic losses. This practice executed without any pain relief (neither anesthesia nor analgesia) can be painful consideration of animal welfare. On the other hand, immunocastration accomplished by Improvac Bovipriva in pigs cattle represents a noninvasive procedure, for that reason regarded as an alternative improved study includes 4 experimental groups consisting capons, slips, roosters, birds...
Iodine deficiency is a common problem in pregnant women and may have implications for maternal child health. supplementation during pregnancy has been recommended by several scientific societies. We undertook cross-sectional survey to assess the efficacy of these recommendations European iodine-deficient region. Urinary iodine concentrations (UIC) were determined before (n = 203) after 136) implementation guidelines pregnancy. (200 μg/day) reduced proportion with severe (37.4% 18.0%, p...
Summary objective The aim of this study was to evaluate a method for the estimation percentage big‐big prolactin (bb‐PRL) in serum, based on centrifugal ultrafiltration (UF) and be used detection macroprolactinaemia. design Serum samples were submitted gel filtration chromatography (GFC), UF precipitation with polyethylene glycol (PEG). patients obtained from 13 macroprolactinaemia (Group 1) 15 hyperprolactinaemic without 2) studied by three methods. measurements PRL measured fractions GFC,...
Parathyroid Carcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm, accounting for less than 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism cases. carcinomas are characterized by markedly elevated levels PTH, severe hypercalcemia and established target organ damage. The authors report the experience single centre regarding management outcome patients with parathyroid revise relevant literature.Retrospective review all carcinoma evaluated at tertiary oncologic from 1991 until 2021.Seventeen were identified (10 males),...
No presente trabalho pretendeu-se avaliar o aporte do iodo nas Regiões Autónomas da Madeira e dos Açores, estudando duas populações, crianças das escolas grávidas maternidades, a fim de solicitar às Entidades Saúde responsáveis eventuais medidas corretivas tomar. O é elemento indispensável para síntese hormonas tiroideias. A sua carência, ainda que moderada, tal como tem sido descrita em diversos países europeus, se manifestada no decurso gestação, pode ter consequências nefastas...
Iodine deficiency, the most common cause of preventable mental impairment worldwide, has been linked to poorer intellectual function in several studies. However, our knowledge, no studies have performed moderate iodine-deficient schoolchildren using complete form Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III; Portuguese version). The main purpose this study was ascertain whether iodine deficiency would affect cognitive (7-11 years old; 3rd and 4th grades). Raven's Colored Progressive...
Iodine is an essential micronutrient and its deficiency can severely impact children's development. In 2012, the Thyroid Study Group of Portuguese Society Endocrinology, Diabetes Metabolism discovered that median urinary iodine concentration (mUIC) level in schoolchildren São Miguel was far too low at 70.9 μg/L. response, government implemented a salt iodization program to help normalize levels. This investigation evaluated efficacy such approach.Urinary (UIC) 362 from using fast...
Fulvestrant resembles estradiol in its structure. Reports have been published concerning fulvestrant measured as by the immunoassays. This may induce falsely elevated results and wrongly impact medical decisions. Our aim was to confirm interference of on concentration test a method identify false results.Four serum samples with low levels were spiked at various concentrations. Estradiol then directly (Dir), after 1:5 dilution (Dil), ratio Dil/Dir estimated. On second part study, (Dir, Dil...
Mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency during pregnancy is prevalent worldwide, but its consequences for maternal and child health are not clear. We aimed to investigate the impact of intake on child's growth neurodevelopment. This study involved a cohort 11-year-old children (n = 70) whose mothers had participated in an survey pregnancy. Gestational, neonatal, anthropometric, intelligence quotient (IQ), socioeconomic parameters were analyzed according urinary concentration (UIC). There was...
