The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term evolution of adrenal insufficiency (AI) due to bilateral adrenal surgery (S) or medical cause (M).Seventy AI patients (mean age 41±16 years; 60% female, similar in both groups) were followed during a mean 6-year period (2–16); 38 were AI after bilateral adrenalectomy (60% Cushing), 32 AI of medical origin (62% polyglandular autoimmune syndrome). BMI, blood pressure (BP), fasting b...

The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the long-term metabolic evolution of a cohort of patients treated for adrenal insufficiency (AI), and the best biological parameters of a good balance.Seventy patients with AI (mean age 41 years (±16); 60% female) were followed during a median 6-year period (2–16 years): 38 after bilateral adrenalectomy (60% Cushing) and 32 after AI of medical origin (62% polyglandular autoimmune syndrome).

Purpose: Bone metastases (BM) are frequent in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). These patients may present skeletal-related events (SRE), the leading cause of DTC-related morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the clinical features, treatment approaches, and outcomes including overall survival (OS) of DTC patients with BM complicated by SRE and their evolution over time.Methods: 178 consecutive DTC patients harbouring BM were enrolled in this retrospective s...
