Long-term trends in the incidence of peritoneal dialysis-related peritonitis disclose an increasing relevance of streptococcal infections: a longitudinal study
(Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2020-12-21)
[Abstract}
Background.
The selective impact of strategies for prevention of PD-related peritonitis (PDrP) may have modified, in the long term, the causal spectrum, clinical presentation and outcomes of these ...
Evaluation of thyroid hormone replacement dosing in morbidly obese hypothyroid patients after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss
(MDPI, 2021-08-19)
[Abstract] The most frequent endocrine disease in obese patients is hypothyroidism. To date, there are no clear data regarding what happens to the dose of levothyroxine (LT4) after bariatric surgery (BS). The objective of ...
Altered GH-IGF-1 axis in severe obese subjects is reversed after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss and related with low-grade chronic inflammation
(MDPI, 2020-08-12)
[Abstract] Endocrine disorders are common in obesity, including altered somatotropic axis. Obesity is characterized by reduced growth hormone (GH) secretion, although the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) values are ...
Effect of weight loss after bariatric surgery on thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in euthyroid patients with morbid obesity
(MDPI, 2019-05-20)
[Abstract] Obesity is associated with several endocrine abnormalities, including thyroid dysfunction. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of weight loss after bariatric surgery on thyroid-stimulating ...
Association of urinary excretion rates of uric acid with biomarkers of kidney injury in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
(PLoS One, 2024-06-11)
[Abstract]
Background: The potential influence of hyperuricemia on the genesis and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains controversial. In general, the correlation between blood levels of uric acid (UA) ...
Cost-effectiveness analysis of preoperative treatment of acromegaly with somatostatin analogue on surgical outcome
(Elsevier, 2015-08-20)
[Abstract] Context. There is no uniform standard of care for acromegaly. Due to the high costs involved, steps must be taken to ensure the cost-effective delivery of treatment.
Objective. Taking the results of an earlier ...
Central resistance to thyroid hormones in morbidly obese subjects is reversed after bariatric surgery-induced weight loss
(MDPI, 2020-01-28)
[Abstract]
Endocrine abnormalities are common in obesity, including altered thyroid function. The altered thyroid function of obesity may be due to a mild acquired resistance to the thyroid hormone. The aim of this study ...
Sexual dimorphism on growth hormone secretion after oral glucose administration
(Thieme, 2012-02-16)
[Abstract] Sexual dimorphism of GH secretion is unclear in humans. There is evidence that oral glucose (OG) administration initially decreases and subsequently stimulates GH secretion. Our aim was to study fasting GH ...
Place of preoperative treatment of acromegaly with somatostatin analog on surgical outcome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(PLoS ONE, 2013-04-25)
[Abstract] Context. Transsphenoidal neurosurgery is the accepted first-line treatment of acromegaly in the majority of patients. Previous studies addressing preoperative somatostatin analog (SSA) treatment and subsequent ...
Growth hormone, ghrelin and peptide YY secretion after oral glucose administration in healthy and obese women
(Thieme, 2011-06-10)
[Abstract] The mechanism of the altered GH secretion in obesity is unclear. There is evidence that oral glucose (OG) administration initially decreases and subsequently stimulates GH secretion. Ghrelin is a peptide that ...
