Introduction: Pregestational diabetes is a threatening condition for pregnancy; a strict glycemic control can decrease some pregnancy complications. That control can be achieved while on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI) treatment or with subcutaneous insulin infusion systems (CSII). Up to now no benefits of CSII treatment over MDI on pregnancy outcomes have been proved.Design: Case control retrospective study, comparing glycemic control and pregna...

Objective: To evaluate the degree of compliance of the glycemic objectives in non-critic-hospitalized patient and determinate the factors associated to the lack of compliance of the aforesaid objectives.Material and method: Retrospective observational study in hospitalized patients during 2014. Adult patient age 18 or older, who had at least two points of care de glucose measurements (capillary blood glucose) during their hospitalization, were included. ...

Objective: To determine the hypoglycaemia prevalence in an old-patient hospitalized and to stablish the factors associated with its appearance and to study the association between the hypoglycaemia with the stay in hospital and the mortality during the hospitalization.Material and method: A retrospective study in which all patients, older than 65 years old that were hospitalized during 2014 and at least two glycemic control have been realised, were inclu...

Pituitary adenomas are heterogeneous, rare tumors, which hinders analysis of large numbers of cases with common approaches. To overcome this, a multicenter, clinical-basic strategy was proposed aimed at enhancing the tools to diagnose and manage pituitary tumors by combining clinical/pathological/molecular information. This initiative was developed by the Sociedad Andaluza de Endocrinología y Nutrición, and further endorsed by the Sociedad Española de Endocrinol...
