In Brief Objective: To compare the clinical outcome of patients with subclinical Cushing syndrome (SCS) due to an adrenal incidentaloma (the autonomous hypersecretion a small amount cortisol, which is not enough cause clinically-evident disease) who underwent surgery or were managed conservatively. Summary Background Data: The most appropriate management SCS controversial, either adrenalectomy close follow-up being recommended for their treatment. Methods: Over 15-year period, 45 randomly...
The clinical and histopathological records of 149 consecutive patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), homogeneously studied operated on by the same surgeon in period 1990 to 2001, were reviewed. After a mean 6.5-year follow-up, three cases loco-regional recurrence (2%) observed. These had all undergone partial thyroidectomy only tumour relapse occurred residual tissue. No was observed treated total I. At variance other reported series, no lymph node our particular group 23...
The parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates aldosterone secretion and cell proliferation in human adrenocortical cells; moreover, rats hyperaldosteronism was associated with hyperparathyroidism. Hence, PTH could drive excess primary aldosteronism.To test this hypothesis, we recruited 105 consecutive hypertensive patients, of whom 44 had aldosteronism due to an aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) 61 (essential) hypertension. We measured the plasma levels (1-84)-PTH, 25(OH)D, 1,25(OH)2D, serum Ca...
The mechanisms of excess aldosterone secretion in primary aldosteronism (PA) remain poorly understood, although a role for circulating factors has been hypothesized decades. Agonistic autoantibodies against type-1 angiotensin-II receptor (AT1AA) are detectable malignant hypertension and preeclampsia might play PA. Moreover, if they were elevated aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) not idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA), be useful discriminating between these conditions. To test hypotheses,...
Forty-one patients (17 men and 24 women) were treated with progressive pneumoperitoneum before repair of giant incisional hernias. The was induced using nitrous oxide gas a laparoscopic insufflator, topped up every other day for mean 5.5 days total injection 23.2 litres oxide. well tolerated in 30 patients, caused mild temporary pain 10 sharp one patient; no serious side-effects occurred. All the underwent surgery to their hernias, 40 available follow-up 25.3 months, only two hernias...
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is universally regarded as a curable malignancy with favorable prognosis. However, minority of patients may present, or subsequently develop, locoregional and distant metastases that adversely affect survival. The value the various staging methods complicated by different approaches to diagnostic, therapeutic follow-up strategies. We aimed at assessing prognostic factors survival rate in large cohort treated followed up same center.A total 1858 PTC operated...
Abstract Background: The current preoperative diagnosis of a thyroid mass relies on microscopic evaluation cells obtained by fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB). More recently, FNAB has been combined with molecular analysis to increase the accuracy cytological evaluation. In this mono-institutional prospective study, we evaluated whether routine introduction BRAF testing in could help ameliorate recognition papillary carcinoma (PTC) “suspended” or malignant categories. Moreover,...
