A Multicenter Cohort Study in Patients With Primary Empty Sella: Hormonal and Neuroradiological Features Over a Long Follow-Up.

Objective: primary empty sella (PES) represents a frequent finding, but data on hormonal alterations are heterogeneous, and its natural history is still unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the pituitary function of patients with PES over a long follow-up.

Design: multicenter retrospective cohort study enrolling patients referred between 1984-2020 to five Pituitary Units, with neuroradiological confirmed PES and a complete hormonal assessment.

Increased Infection Risk in Addison's Disease and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia.

Context: Mortality and infection-related hospital admissions are increased in patients with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). However, the risk of primary care-managed infections in patients with PAI is unknown.

Objective: To estimate infection risk in PAI due to Addison's disease (AD) and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) in a primary care setting.

Clinically Nonfunctioning Pituitary Incidentalomas: Characteristics and Natural History.

Introduction: Available data on pituitary incidentalomas mostly derive from small-scale studies, with heterogeneous inclusion criteria and limited follow-up. No paper has focused specifically on clinically nonfunctioning pituitary in-cidentalomas (CNFPIs).

Objective: To describe the charac-teristics and the natural history of patients diagnosed with CNFPIs.

Correction to: Radioiodine ablation with 1,850 MBq in association with rhTSH in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.

Unfortunately, the fourth author's middle name was missed out in the original publication of this article. The complete correct name should read as follows.

Cardiovascular events in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion: analysis with artificial neural networks.

Background: The independent role of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) in influencing the cardiovascular event (CVE) occurrence is a topic of interest. We investigated the role of mild ACS in the CVE occurrence in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI) by standard statistics and artificial neural networks (ANNs).

Methods: We analyzed a retrospective record of 518 AI patients.

Radioiodine ablation with 1,850 MBq in association with rhTSH in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of post-operative radioiodine ablation with 1,850 MBq after recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH) administration in patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC). We also aimed to assess the prognostic role of several patient features on the outcome of ablation.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from a total of 125 patients with DTC who underwent post-operative radioiodine ablation with 1,850 MBq of ¹³¹I after preparation with rhTSH.
