A 70-year-old male was referred with hyperthyroidism and multinodular goiter (MNG). Thyroid ultrasonography showed 2 nodules, one in the isthmus and the other in the left lobe, 51 and 38 mm in diameter, respectively. Neck CT showed a large MNG, thyroid scintigraphy showed increased uptake in the nodule in the left lobe, and fine-needle aspiration biopsy showed a benign cytology of the nodule in the isthmus. The patient declined surgery and was treated with methimazole. After being lost to follow- ...

It is well recognized that overt thyroid dysfunction is associated with changes in body mass index (BMI). However, there is ongoing debate regarding the influence of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) on BMI, in euthyroid subjects. The aim of this study is to examine the association of TSH with BMI in an outpatient population without evidence of thyroid disease.Cross-sectional study conducted in an Endocrinology Department. We identified the latest TSH and BMI measurements in 923 patients from the ...

Introdução: Feocromocitomas são tumores originários de células cromafins do sistema simpato-adrenal. As suas manifestações clínicas são múltiplas e diversificadas, função do perfil secretório variável de múltiplos compostos, incluindo catecolaminas, neuropéptidos e outros compostos vasoactivos. A Neurofibromatose 1 (D de von Recklinghausen), a mais prevalente das variantes das neurofibromatoses, é genodermatose transmitida segundo padrão mendeliano autossómico dominante. O diagnóstico de NF1 assenta ...

Introduction Our department conducted a retrospective cohort study to compare the efficacy of continuous glucose monitoring devices versus capillary blood glucose in the glycemic control of inpatient type 2 diabetes on intensive insulin therapy in a Portuguese hospital. The use of continuous glucose monitoring devices was associated with improved glycemic control, including an increased number of glucose readings within target range and reduced hyperglycemic events, being safe concerning hypoglycemias. ...

Introduction: The emergence of continuous glucose monitoring devices revolutionized the monitoring of diabetes, allowing real-time measurement of interstitial glucose levels. These devices are especially important for people with diabetes treated with insulin therapy and have been extensively studied in outpatient settings. In hospitalized patients, studies using continuous glucose monitoring have focused mainly on evaluating its accuracy and feasibility, but the results were unclear on whether ...

Introduction: Pheochromocytomas are tumours arising from chromaffin cells in the sympathetic nervous system. Clinical manifestations are protean, function of the variable secretory profile of several compounds including catecolamines, neuropeptides and other vasoactive molecules. Neurofibromatosis I (von Recklinghausen`s disease), a prevalent autosomal dominant disorder, is the most prevalent type among the neurofibromatoses. Among the diagnostic criteria proposed by the NIH Consensus Conference ...

BACKGROUND:Primary aldosteronism and pheochromocytoma are endocrine causes of secondary arterial hypertension. The association of primary aldosteronism and pheochromocytoma is rare and the involved mechanisms are poorly understood. Either there is a coexistence of both diseases or the pheochromocytoma stimulates the production of aldosterone. Since management approaches may differ significantly, it is important to properly diagnose the 2 conditions. We describe concomitant pheochromocytoma and primary ...

A cirurgia da tiroide está atualmente associada a uma baixa morbilidade e muito baixa mortalidade. Vários estudos têm descrito a importância do volume de cirurgias na obtenção de melhores resultados, uma vez que a uma maior experiência do cirurgião se associam um menor número de complicações. Em 1997 foi criada no Hospital das Forças Armadas (HFAR) uma equipa multidisciplinar para o tratamento da patologia tiroideia. Avaliar 10 anos (2001‐2010) de experiência de cirurgia da tiroide no HFAR. Foram ...

Permite não só reduzir o número de cirurgias desnecessárias em nódulos benignos, como possibilita o planeamento de uma abordagem cirúrgica adequada em doentes com doença maligna. No nosso serviço realizaram‐se 2.124 CAAF no período de 10 anos, sendo que, atualmente, são todas ecoguiadas. Avaliar a acuidade diagnóstica da CAAF num serviço hospitalar. Avaliaram‐se, retrospetivamente, 204 processos ...

The liver has an extraordinary regenerative capacity in response to partial hepatectomy (PHx), which develops with neither tissue inflammation response nor alterations in the whole organism. This process is highly coordinated and it has been associated with changes in glutathione (GSH) metabolism. However, there are no reports indicating ascorbic acid (AA) levels after partial hepatectomy. AA and GSH act integrally as an antioxidant system that protects cells and tissues from oxidative damage and imbalance ...
