69-year-old male, with a history of bipolar disorder under treatment, smoker and high blood pressure. He is referred for left adrenal injury detected incidentally by secondary hypertension study. Abdominal CT shows a mass of 67.7×51.8×52.3 mm in the left adrenal area, with radiological characteristics of malignancy and aggressive behavior, contacting the left renal pole and upper splenic pole, compatible with adrenal carcinoma vs. metastasis. The functional study is ...

Introduction: Demand for health care for transsexual people has increased exponentially in last years, especially among adolescents and young adults. Gender-affirming hormones (GAHs) are initiated to accommodate secondary sexual characteristics to the desired sex. Published studies about metabolic repercussion of GAHs are heterogeneous and report diverse results. Our objective is to evaluate the effect of GAHs on cardiovascular risk factors in transsexual population treated in...

Introduction: There have been more than 130 genes described in relation with the development of obesity, which condition hyperphagia and early obesity. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of genetic alterations in a cohort of patients with morbid obesity.Materials and Methods: We designed a descriptive cross-sectional study for a cohort of subjects with obesity grade III or higher (BMI ≥40 kg/m2), treated at endocrinolog...

Methods: Retrospective and descriptive study in a sample of 36 patients with suspected hypoglycemia who were admitted to our Service to perform a 72-hour fasting test. Demographic, clinical data and results of fasting test were analyzed. Endogenous hyperinsulinism criteria were considered to be the combination of plasma glucose <55 mg dl, insulin >3 mcrU / ml and C peptide > 0.6 ng/ml, in the absence of detection of sulfonylureas.Results: The...

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increased risk of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been used to screen for PIH and preeclampsia. To date, there are no data regarding ABPM in women with GDM. Currently, little is known in GDM about the role of inflammatory biomarkers in PIH development and their impact on perinatal morbility and the risk of future complications. With this study we aim to identify, in ...

Introduction: Paragangliomas are neuroendocrine tumors derived from the extra-adrenal paraganglionar system and are closely related to pheochromocytoma. About 50% are associated with genetic syndromes.Case report: We report a case of a sporadic paraganglioma incidentally found in a 30-year-old man, with no family or personal history of interest, in the context of abdominal pain study where a mass of 5×3×3 cm is detected in the abdominal aorto-c...
