69-year-old male, with a history of bipolar disorder under treatment, smoker and high blood pressure. He is referred for left adrenal injury detected incidentally by secondary hypertension study. Abdominal CT shows a mass of 67.7×51.8×52.3 mm in the left adrenal area, with radiological characteristics of malignancy and aggressive behavior, contacting the left renal pole and upper splenic pole, compatible with adrenal carcinoma vs. metastasis. The functional study is ...

Introduction: The prevalence of obesity has increased, reaching epidemic proportions. Framingham and REGICOR scales predict the likelihood of developing a coronary event in the next 10 years. The aim of this study was to assess the concordance of these scales in the stratification of cardiovascular risk (CVR) in a cohort of patients with morbid obesity.Methods: We designed a cross-sectional study in a sample of patients with morbid obesity evaluated from...

Introduction: In preliminary results of our group, we detected an association between the mean nocturnal blood pressure and development microvascular complications. The objective was to evaluate possible nocturnal blood pressure cut off points in relation to the development or progression of retinopathy, microalbuminuria and arterial hypertension in type 1 diabetic patients.Methods: We designed a prospective observational study of 85 patients, clinically...

Introduction: Even though pituitary apoplexy usually occurs in the context of a pituitary adenoma, it can also occur over other tumours, which is less common in adulthood and has faster growth and aggressiveness. It can also produce clinical, analytical and even radiological indications that are indistinguishable from a pituitary adenoma with ischemic and/or haemorrhagic events.Case report: A 43-year-old female, with no medical history of interest except...

Introduction: Obesity is a multifactorial disease associated with numerous comorbidities. Bariatric surgery is postulated as an effective tool in weight loss and improves associated pathologies. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the safety and the effects on major comorbidities associated with morbid obesity of gastric bypass (GBP) and sleeve gastrectomy (SG) 2 years after intervention.Methods: Cohort study with intrasubject measures (bef...

Introduction: The objective is to evaluate the relationship between early blood pressure alterations (detected by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (abpm)) and the development/progression of retinopathy in patients with type 1 diabetes clinically normotensive.Methods: We designed a prospective observational study of 85 patients, clinically normotensive and without microalbuminuria, monitored over 7 years. Abpm was performed over 24 h and subclinical h...

Introduction: The objective is to evaluate the relationship between early blood pressure alterations (detected by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (abpm)) and the development of microalbuminuria and arterial hypertension in patients with type 1 diabetes clinically normotensive.Methods: We designed a prospective observational study of 85 patients, clinically normotensive and without microalbuminuria, monitored over 7 years. Abpm was performed over 24 ...

Introduction: The objective is to evaluate the relationship between precocious subclinical hypertension and inflammatory and endothelial dysfunction markers in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes.Methods: We designed an observational transversal study of 85 patients, clinically normotensive and without microalbuminuria. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (abpm) was performed over 24 h and subclinical hypertension was conside...

Introduction: Currently, there are few data on long-term effects of bariatric surgery. We present the results of 5-year follow-up of a cohort of patients with gastric bypass surgery (GBP).Objectives: i) To determine the prevalence of major comorbidities of morbid obese; ii) to evaluate the gastric bypass effect on this comorbidities, and 10-year estimated cardiovascular risk after 5-year follow-up; and iii) to assess the impact of bariatric surgery on th...

Objectives: To evaluate the prevalence of blood pressure alterations by ABPM and its association with clinical factors in normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with type 1 diabetes (TDM1).Methods: Cross-sectional study including normotensive and normoalbuminuric patients with TDM1. Altered ABPM was considered when: i) Mean systolic pressure (sBP) was ≥130 mmHg in the 24 h and daytime periods and ≥120 mmHg in the night-time period and/or ...
