Aim: Describe the control of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in patients with diabetes and myocardial infarction (MI) as well as their treatment and control.Patients and methods: Observational retrospective study of a cohort of patients with diabetes admitted to the cardiology department because of a MI between November 2015 and November 2016. Statistical analysis performed with SPSS 24th version.Results: 421 patients admitted b...

Aim: To describe the follow-up of adrenal incidentalomas (AI) classified as non-functioning and no suspicious for malignancy in the first approach.Patients and methods: Observational retrospective study of a cohort of patients who consulted in the Endocrinology service between 2005 and 2015 because of an AI. Statistical analysis performed with SPSS 19th version.Results: Two hundred and one patients with IA were firstly evaluated. T...

Objectives: Pregnant women who are overweight or obese have an increased risk of complications during pregnancy, as do pregnant women with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1). The objective of this study is to describe the prevalence of overweight/obesity in pregnant women with DM1, and associated complications.Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of pregnant women with DM1 (2004–2014). Variables analyzed: age, initial body mass index (B...

Objective: Obesity and overweight persist in patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) in remission, its persistence seems to be related to the duration of the disease. The aim of this study was to describe the persistence of overweight/obesity in patients with CD in remission and their relation to the duration of the disease.Patients and methods: Descriptive study of patients with CD (1995-2015). Variables analyzed: age, sex, body mass index (BMI), time...

Objective: Patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) may have adrenal nodules or hyperplasia related chronic hyperstimulation by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of adrenal nodules or hyperplasia in patients with CD and their relation with ACTH levels at diagnosis.Patients and methods: Descriptive study of patients with CD (1995–2015). Variables analyzed: age, sex, body mass in...

Objective: Diagnosis of diabetes after transplantation (NODAT) has been described in up to 25% of cases. NODAT is a metabolically complex disorder, similar to type 2 diabetes. Factors that influence the development of NODAT are: BMI, HCV and immunosuppression. Objective: to know the prevalence and incidence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in liver transplant patients of our hospital.Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive study of liver transplant pati...

Objective: Cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) persist with notable prevalence in patients with Cushing’s disease (CD) after remission: obesity/overweight up to 40%, hypertension (HTA) up to 60%, type 2 diabetes (DM-2) up to 60% and dyslipidemia up to 30% of cases. Persistence of metabolic syndrome in patients with controlled CD seems to be related to the duration of the disease before remission. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence of CVRF in patients with ...

Introduction: Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) allows non-invasive glucose level assessment. Studies have shown that patients using FGM test their glucose levels more often than those who use traditional blood glucose testing. Given that a higher rate of glucose testing has showed to improve glycemic control our objective was to describe the change in the glycemic control and time in euglycemic range in patients with FGM and the effect of the number of scans in this control....

Introduction: Non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPAs) represent the most common pituitary tumour. They usually appear in the middle age of life, without differences between genders. Mass growth produces the first symptoms so the diagnosis is usually late. Surgery is the first-line treatment with variable success (19-83%). The objective of this study is to evaluate the symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and final state of patients with NFPAs.Methods: Obser...

Introduction: The duration of hypercortisolism in Cushing’s disease (CD) appears to be inversely related to the reversibility of complications, which in turn increase mortality. This makes it necessary to identify medical therapies capable of normalizing cortisol overproduction before transsphenoidal surgery. The aim of this study was to determine if the clinical data of patients with CD before surgery allow predicting the presence and/or abundance of somatostatin (ssts) ...
