Background: Measurement of thyroglobulin (Tg) in the washout fluid of fine-needle aspirates (FNA-Tg) is useful for diagnosis of Cevical lymph node (CLN) metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between FNA-Tg levels and Sonographic findings in CLN in patients with PTC.Methods: Since January 2017 until December 2018, an ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration ...

Introduction: In recent years, numerous studies on the relationship between the TSH of the first trimester of pregnancy and obstetric complications have been published, and in this context it has been recommended to treat with levothyroxine from certain values of TSH. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of obstetric and neonatal complications in pregnancies with normal TSH (0.14 to 2.49 mcU/ml) as a basis for assessing complications in pregnancies with TSH bet...

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...

Introduction: The parathyroid gland is made up of principal cells and oxyphilic cells, surrounded by stroma, whose main component is adipose tissue, which accounts for 25% of the content of the parathyroid in adults. In parathyroid adenomas, prominent parathyroid cellularity can be observed, with a very marked decrease in the stroma. Parathyroid lipoadenoma is a rare variant of parathyroid adenoma, characterized by hyperfunctioning parathyroid cells in an abundant fatty stroma...

Introduction and Objectives: Poor metabolic control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM 1) is associated with micro and macrovascular complications. The implementation of interstitial glucose monitoring systems has contributed to improving glycemic control in recent years. Our objective was to know the metabolic control in people with type 1 DM and the Flash system and to establish if there is an association between its use and glycemic control variables.Mat...

Introduction: Insulinomas are pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNET), characterized by insulin hypersecretion syndrome with the development of hypoglycemia. The incidence of the tumor is 3-10 cases per million inhabitants. The average age of onset is 40-50 years old, being more frequent in women. Case Reports: We present a clinical case of a patient with CREST syndrome and difficult-to-control hypoglycemia. Female patient, 81 years old, with a history o...

Introduction: Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCHT) in pregnancy has been associated with adverse obstetric and perinatal outcomes. However, few studies have investigated the evolution of postpartum thyroid function in women first diagnosed with SCHT in pregnancy (gestational SCHT).Objective: To determine the evolution of thyroid function (TF) and the clinical and biochemical factors related to the long-term persistence of hypothyroidism (HT) in women with g...
