A longitudinal analysis of a work inclusion model for psychiatric patients in the Mental Health Departments of the city of Milan.

Background: Work functioning impairment is a key diagnostic and transnosographic criterion for psychiatric disorders in both DSM-5 and ICD-11. Occupational inclusion is a fundamental aspect of the care path for patients attending the territorial services provided by the Italian Mental Health and Addiction Departments (DSMDs). Since 2009, the Regional Innovative Programme (PIR) TR106, promoted by the Fatebenefratelli-Sacco hospital of Milan, Italy, in collaboration with six other metropolitan DSMDs, was created to promote integration for people suffering from mental health problems in the city of Milan.

Radiologic Manifestation of Bone Involvement in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Prevalence and Clinical Significance in a Southern European Series.

Objective: Clinically overt symptomatic bone disease in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is rarely seen today, and osteoporosis is the dominant finding. Subperiosteal bone resorption in the fingers and skull mottling are typical bone PHPT findings, the contemporary prevalence of which is unknown. We evaluated these mild lesions and investigated the impact of their occurrence on PHPT clinical management.

Reversibility of Acute Adrenal Insufficiency After Hip Replacement: A Case Series.

Background: Acute adrenal insufficiency is a rare but potentially lethal condition, that is important to identify promptly and treat with replacement therapy. It can be consequent to adrenal hemorrhage that can occur after major orthopedic surgery. Few data are available about potential recovery of adrenal function, as well as both timing and modality of cortisone acetate withdrawal, probably due to the assumption that adrenal failure should be definitive.

What factors have impact on glucocorticoid replacement in adrenal insufficiency: a real-life study.

Purpose: The impact of patient's characteristics on glucocorticoid (GC) replacement therapy in adrenal insufficiency (AI) is poorly evaluated. Aims of this study were to assess the influence of sex and body weight on GC dosing and to describe the choice of GC in AI of different etiologies.

Methods: We retrospectively evaluated hydrocortisone (HC) equivalent total daily dose (HC-TDD) and per-kg-daily dose (HC-KDD) in 203 patients (104 primary AI [pAI], 99 secondary AI [sAI]) followed up for ≥ 12 months.
