Amelioration of cardiovascular risk factors with partial biochemical control of acromegaly.

Objective: Complete remission of acromegaly is associated with favourable changes in cardiovascular risk parameters. We evaluated the effects of suboptimal therapy on haemodynamic, metabolic, inflammatory and coagulation cardiovascular risk indices.

Design And Methods: Eighteen acromegalic patients on somatostatin analogues, with incomplete biochemical control, were evaluated at diagnosis and 6 months after treatment and compared to 15 healthy age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.

Thyroid dysfunction in adult long-term survivors after hemapoeitic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT).

Thyroid function was evaluated in 72 adult survivors (41 females and 31 males) at 16 to 56 years of age, 1.5 years mean time (range 0.2 - 9.

Function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in long-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for hematological diseases.

Gonadal dysfunction in adult long-term survivors of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an adverse effect of conditioning regimens consisting of chemotherapy and total body irradiation (TBI). The impact of conditioning regimens consisting of chemotherapy alone on the function of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis was evaluated in a series of 41 female and 31 male patients who had undergone either autologous or allogeneic bone marrow/peripheral blood stem cell transplantation; mean age at transplantation was 32.6 years and mean time interval from transplantation was 1.

Effectiveness of home-centered care through telemedicine applications for overweight and obese patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Objective: To determine if home-centered monitoring through telemedicine has an impact on clinical characteristics, metabolic profile and quality of life in overweight and obese patients.

Design: Randomized controlled trial, 6-month duration.

Setting: Tertiary care academic hospital.
