Primary treatment with depot octreotide and lanreotide induces tumor shrinkage in newly diagnosed patients acromegaly.The objective of the study was to evaluate clinical predictors shrinkage.This an analytical, observational, open, prospective study.The included 99 patients: 13 microadenoma 86 macroadenoma (25 enclosed, 32 extrasellar, 29 invasive).Age, gender, estimated disease duration, body mass index, GH IGF-I levels, volume at diagnosis after 12 months were measured. Percentage GH,...
Remission rates of 76, 69.5 and 64.3% have been reported in patients with nontumoural hyperprolactinaemia (NTH), microprolactinoma macroprolactinoma, respectively, 2-5 years after cabergoline (CAB) withdrawal.To report the estimated recurrence rate at 24-96 months CAB withdrawal indicate predictors disease remission.Observational, analytical, prospective.Of 381 previously untreated de novo hyperprolactinaemia, 221 (58%) (173 women, 48 men; 27 NTH, 115 micro-, 79 macroprolactinoma) were...
Experience with the endovascular treatment of middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysms by flow diverter devices (FDD) is still limited. This study examines results and complications FDD for small at this location.From February 2010 to December 2013, 14 patients (10 women; mean age 59 years) 15 MCA were treated FDD. All procedures performed Pipeline embolization device (PED).Complete occlusion was obtained in 12/15 (80%) partial 3 (20%). Among 13 a side branch, patent angiographic control 4...
In Graves' ophthalmopathy (GO) it is important to distinguish acute inflammation at an early stage, responsive immunosuppressive treatment, from inactive fibrotic end stage disease, unresponsive the same treatment. The purpose of this study was identify most relevant signal intensities on orbital MR imaging with contrast administration both classify patients according their clinical activity score (defined by a cut-off value 3) and make prediction patient's CAS. Such threshold considered as...
Background Experience with the endovascular treatment of cerebral aneurysms using p64 Flow Modulation Device is still limited. This study discusses results and complications this new flow diverter device. Methods 40 patients (30 women, 10 men) 50 treated in six Italian neurointerventional centers between April 2013 September 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Results Complete occlusion was obtained 44/50 (88%) partial 3 (6%). In other three (6%), two cases asymptomatic in-stent thrombosis...
To develop a structured reporting (SR) template for whole-body CT examinations of polytrauma patients, based on the consensus panel emergency radiology experts from Italian Society Medical and Interventional Radiology.A multi-round Delphi method was used to quantify inter-panelist agreement all SR sections. Internal consistency each section quality analysis in terms average inter-item correlation were evaluated by means Cronbach's alpha (Cα) coefficient.The final form included 118 items (6...
