Background: Thyroid eye disease (TED) is common among patients with Graves’ disease (GD), with an estimated prevalence of 25-58%. While radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy is effective in managing GD, there are concerns regarding the risk of TED after RAI. Therefore, studying the effects of RAI on TED is essential for improving clinical decision-making. Aim: To determine the incidence of the development or exacerbation...

Aims: Spain has been one of the worst affected countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. A very strict lockdown at home was imposed with a tough restriction of mobility. We aimed to evaluate the impact of this exceptional scenario on glucose profile of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) prone to hypoglycemia using sensor-augmented pump (SAP).Methods: Patients with T1D prone to hypoglycemia using SAP (640G Medtronic Minimed) for at least 6 months under the fun...

Aims: Spain has been one of the worst affected countries by the COVID-19 pandemic. A very strict lockdown at home was imposed with a tough restriction of mobility. We aimed to evaluate the impact of this exceptional scenario on glucose profile of patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) prone to hypoglycemia using standalone continuous glucose monitoring.Methods: Patients with T1D prone to hypoglycemia using multiple daily injections and either a Dexcom G5 or...

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) are rare and their clinical behavior and prognosis correlates with mitotic rate and Ki-67 index. Most patients with advanced NET have liver metastases unresectable and somatostatin analogues are the initial therapy of choice but when disease progresses despite treatment and there are positive somatostatin receptors, peptide receptor radioligand therapy (PRRT), using lutetium-177, is a therapeutic option.Clinical...

Introduction: Acromegaly increases morbidity and mortality and should be treated even in the asymptomatic phase. It is almost always caused by a GH-producing pituitary adenoma and although transsphenoidal surgery is the treatment of choice in most cases, in others, primary medical therapy is indicated.Clinical case: A 36-year-old female with a family history of thyroid functional pathology and diagnosed with micronodular goiter was evaluated in February ...

Introduction: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) therapyhas proven effective in type 2 diabetes but there is little data on its effect in patients with psychiatric comorbidity, who usually present worse metabolic and clinical control. The aim of this study was to evaluate if there are differences in the effect of this therapy in relation to the presence of these pathologies.Methods: 225 patients included in a therapy protocol with SGLT2i,...
