Thyroid storm is rare and life threatening manifestation of thyroid hormone excess. It has high mortality rate with delayed treatment. As early intervention is associated with improved patient outcome, prompt diagnosis based on clinical grounds is of paramount importance. We present a case of thyroid storm which was different in terms of absence of fever on presentation, presence of thrombocytopenia and deranged cholestatic LFTs which resolved after treatment of thyroid storm....

Introduction: Papillary carcinoma is the most common form of well-differentiated thyroid cancer (80% of the total). In recent years there has been a significant progressive increase in prevalence.Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical characteristics of the newly diagnosed papillary thyroid carcinoma at the Sanitary Area of Jerez, as well as to analyze its incidence in recent years.Material and Methods: An ob...

Introduction: Cyclic Cushing’s syndrome (CS) is a rare disorder characterized by repeated episodes of cortisol excess interspersed by periods of normal cortisol secretion. These phases may range from days to years. The diagnosis is a difficult challenge.Case report: We present a case of 56-year-old women with hyperglycemia, hypertension, central obesity, edema, bruising, fatigue and emotional lability for several years. Laboratory tests: glucose 141...

The use of Flash Glucose Monitoring system (FGM) for the management of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is rapidly increasing. FGM enables people with diabetes to regularly track their glucose levels without needing to perform capillary finger-stick measurements (SMBG). Clinical studies have shown improvement of glycemic control and hypoglycemia reduction, as well as better comfort and quality of life in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) using this technology. Objectives: to ass...

Introduction: Obesity is one of the most important problems worldwide in recent times. Groupal lifestyle intervention programmes are efficacious in the management of obesity. While exercise and healthy dietary habits have consistently been shown to improve various metabolic markers, adherence to these behaviors is low and methods that increase adherence to health behaviors are needed.Objective: The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effec...

Introduction: Malignancy is an uncommon cause of adrenal incidentaloma in patients without a known diagnosis of cancer. The actual frequency of primary adrenal carcinoma in patients with adrenal incidentaloma is ~2–5%; another 0.7–2.5% have nonadrenal metastases to the adrenal gland. The presence of a nonadrenal primary tumour is exceptional and has been scarcely reported in medical literature.Case report: We present a case of 71-year-old male ...

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increase of maternal-fetal complications. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) detects parameters of glycemic variability through which it could be predicted the appearance of maternal-fetal complications.Methods: Women with GDM at 26–32 gestational weeks were allocated a 6-day CGM system (IproTM2) right after diagnosis in an observational prospective study. It...

Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with an increase of maternal-fetal complications. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) detects postprandial hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia during 24h.Methods: Women with GDM in gestational weeks 26–32 were allocated a CGMS (IproTM2) after diagnosis in an observational prospective study. It was analysed: Mean glucose and standard deviation, area under the curve (AUC) wi...

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is common complication in pregnancy. During pandemic COVID-19, endocrine service iniciate telemedicine in medical care and monitoring blood glucose.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to asses metabolic control and pregnancy outcome during pregnancy in telematic consult.Materials and Methods: Descriptive study of 20 patients were assesed in telematic review in the first wave of the...
