Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether F18-choline (FCH) PET/CT can effectively replace Tc99m-sestaMIBI (MIBI) SPECT/CT for preoperative imaging of parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
- It involves a randomized trial across multiple centers in France, enrolling adults eligible for surgery from November 2019 to May 2022, excluding those with prior parathyroid surgery or certain genetic conditions.
- The primary goal is to compare the success rates of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy guided by these imaging techniques, focusing on patients achieving normal calcium levels one month after surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs) often have a genetic component, with guidelines recommending genetic testing for all patients.
- A study involving 221 patients examined the outcomes based on when they were informed of their genetic status, comparing those who were informed early (genetic patients) and those informed later (historic patients).
- Results indicated that genetic patients had improved follow-up care, smaller new tumors, and better survival rates from metastases, highlighting the importance of timely genetic testing for better management of PPGLs.
Background: The purpose was to assess the efficacy of a new closed-loop algorithm (Saddle Point Model Predictive Control, SP-MPC) in achieving nocturnal normoglycemia while reducing the risk of hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes.
Method: In this randomized crossover study, 10 adult patients (mean hemoglobin A1c 7.35 ± 1.
Background: Insulin pump failures had been assessed in our center by a prospective observational study from 2001 to 2007. The aim of this study was to update our data since 2008 and to determine whether there exist specific risk factors for insulin pump failures.
Methods: All insulin pump defects were prospectively collected between 2008 and 2013 in a monocentric cohort of 350 new pumps.
