MRI of the brain revealed a 3 cm pituitary lesion impinging the optic chiasm and indenting the pons. Appearances of the lesion on imaging and the patient’s normal anterior pituitary hormonal profile were highly suggestive of a non-functioning pituitary adenoma and this was the presumed diagnosis.

In 2008, we presented data showing that combining sonography and scintigraphy investigations resulted in the correct identification of a parathyroid adenoma in 97% (28/29) patients undergoing parathyroid surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Further to this audit we compared the treatment of PHPT against the standards set by NIH in 2008. All patients who had Setamibi +/ ultrasound scan over 18 month (July 2006 until December 2007) for biochemically confirmed PHPT wer...

Background and aim: Early glycemic control and weight reduction in diabetes has been associated with prevention of progression of β-cell dysfunction and reduction in diabetes-related complications. Digital therapeutics (DTx) platforms can provide evidence-based therapeutic interventions to improve glycemic control using sustainable behavior change. This study aims at assessing the real-world effectiveness of the Fitterfly Diabetes program in improving glycemic control and...
