Objective: To evaluate the impact of a decision support system (DSS) based on artificial intelligence (AI) -KoiosDS- on ultrasound (US) image analysis and risk stratification in thyroid nodules. Material and methods Retrospective US study of all thyroid nodules with histologic (AP) result from June 2020 to December 2021. Diagnostic performance of US with ACR-TIRADS, by four endocrinologists and DSS, before and after the use of AI was evaluated.Results: A...

Introduction: Thyroid cancer is the most frequent malignant endocrine neoplasia. Its incidence has significantly risen worldwide in the last decades.Objective: To estimate the incidence of thyroid cancer in Valladolid’s east area population, Spain, over the period 2002–2016.Methods: A retrospective descriptive research was performed in the Clinical Universitary Hospital of Valladolid (HCUVa). Clinical data was obtained fr...

Objective: This study aims to assess the utility of salivary cortisol (SC) in diagnosing adrenal insufficiency (AI) and to analyze the integrity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. This involves evaluating cortisol rhythm, its correlation with plasma levels, and the impact of exogenous hydrocortisone (HC) substitution on SC determination.Methods: A prospective study was conducted on all patients with suspected AI undergoing adrenocorticotropic ho...

Ntroduction and Aim: The use of sodium-glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors has importantly improved the management of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the renal and metabolic effects after one year of SGLT-2 use in a cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII).Methods: Retrospective observational study in adult patients...

Background and Aim: Data support the use of hybrid closed-loop systems, because of it positive impact in the management of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). The aim was to evaluate the impact of an hybrid closed-loop system in patients with T1D at high risk of hypoglycemia.Methods: Retrospective study of patients with T1D controlled in a Endocrinology department older than 17 years old, who were carriers of an Insulin Pump (MiniMed™640G) and Flas...

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus secondary to exocrine pancreas diseases (pancreatogenic DM) is a heterogeneous type of DM that usually requires treatment with multiple doses of insulin (MDI), like type 1 DM (DM1). Our objective was to evaluate the difference in the impact of Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) on glycemic control in pancreatogenic DM and DM1. Methods: Prospective, observational study in Spanish hospital. We included the first patients with DM...

In our country, as in others, there is a lack of data on the success rate of transsphenoidal surgery for producing pituitary adenomas. We evaluated the results reported in TESSPAIN, a retrospective multicenter nationwide project that includes all the TSS performed in the participating centers in the period between 2018 and 2022, both included. Surgical treatment success is defined according to the published criteria for each disease: normal IGF-1 and GH after 75 g of oral gluc...

Transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) of the hypothalamic-pituitary region is the approach of choice because of its lower morbidity compared to the transcranial approach. However, its results are highly variable and depend on many factors related to the tumor itself, to the medical team, and to technical issues. We review the situation of this procedure in a nationwide retrospective multicenter evaluation. Data were collected from centers participating in the TESSPAIN (TranssphEnoidal...
