Introduction: Patients with Parkinsons disease on pharmacological treatment frequently loose weight but regain weight after subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (SNBS). This is, at least in part, due to an increase in resting energy expenditure (Perlemoine et al., Br J Nutrition 2005; 93). As SNBS electrodes are located close to the hypothalamic centre regulating food intake, we investigated whether ghrelin levels would vary with SNBS and/or L-DOPA tr...

Study aim: Pituitary function evaluation in patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Subjects: One hundred and forty-six patients (49 female, 97 men, age: 31.9±16.2 years) recovered from moderate to severe TBI. Prospective follow up has been performed 3/6 and 12 months from TBI for 79 subjects. Retrospective evaluation (from 0.3 to 30 years) included 67 subjects selected in front of overt clinical features (obesity, fatigue, sexual disorders)....
