Performance of the Eversense versus the Free Style Libre Flash glucose monitor during exercise and normal daily activities in subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Introduction: Accurate blood glucose measurements are important in persons with diabetes during normal daily activities (NDA), even more so during exercise. We aimed to investigate the performance of fluorescence sensor-based and glucose oxidase-based interstitial glucose measurement during (intensive) exercise and NDA.

Research Design And Methods: Prospective, observational study in 23 persons with type 1 diabetes when mountain biking for 6 days, followed by 6 days of NDA.

Recommendations for somatic and germline genetic testing of single pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma based on findings from a series of 329 patients.

Background: Nowadays, 65-80% of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL) cases are explained by germline or somatic mutations in one of 22 genes. Several genetic testing algorithms have been proposed, but they usually exclude sporadic-PPGLs (S-PPGLs) and none include somatic testing. We aimed to genetically characterise S-PPGL cases and propose an evidence-based algorithm for genetic testing, prioritising DNA source.

[Assessment of iodine nutritional status and thyroxine levels in pregnant women from different geographic areas of the Castile and Leon].

Background And Objectives: Iodine nutritional status in pregnant women is important for neuronal development of the fetus, and may vary depending on the geographic area. Thyroid function and urinary iodine excretion were therefore assessed in pregnant women from three different provinces of a large Spanish autonomous community.

Patients And Methods: A descriptive study was conducted in the three healthcare areas of Burgos, Avila, and Ponferrada on 1,200 women in the first trimester of pregnancy The study consisted of a survey and thyroid hormone and urinary iodine measurements.
