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...

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...

Introduction: Pituitary adenomas are neoplasms originating in the pituitary gland. They represent 15.5% of tumor pathology of the central nervous system and their incidence is estimated at 3.4 cases per 100,000 inhabitants/year.Objective: To evaluate the postoperative results of adenomas operated on at the Hospital Clinico de Valladolid (HCUV) Material and Methods: Observational, transversal and retrospective study of operated aden...

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...

Introduction: Hyponatremia is the most frequent disturbance in hospitalized patients. The appropriate treatment of non-severe hyponatremia according to the clinical guidelines is essential to achieve an effective response defined as eunatremia (Serum sodium >135 mmol/l). The aim of this study was to know the relationship between appropriate treatment and effective response in patients with enteral tube feeding (TEN).Methods: An observational, prospec...
