Comparative mortality in pituitary adenomas subtypes: a tertiary referral center study.

Purpose: Mortality in pituitary adenomas (PAs) has been extensively compared to general population. However, direct comparisons between PA subtypes are scarce. We aimed to compare mortality in various subtypes of PA (acromegaly, Cushing's disease (CD), macroprolactinomas and non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (MacroNFPA)), within a single referral center.

THE INDEPENDENT EFFECTS OF TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE ON BONE TURNOVER MARKERS.

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are associated with disturbed mineral homeostasis and serum bone biomarkers. The interplay between T2DM and CKD on serum bone turnover markers (BTM) is unclear. Our aim was to describe the BTM in patients with T2DM, CKD or both.

Fine-Scale Haplotype Mapping Reveals an Association of the Gene with Osteoporosis and Fracture Risk in Postmenopausal Women.

Introduction: The Fat Mass and Obesity-Associated () gene encodes a demethylase, which modulates RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) and plays a regulatory role in adipocyte differentiation and the pathogenesis of human obesity.

Methods: To understand the potential role of in osteoporosis (OP), we investigated five single nucleotide variations (SNVs) in intron 1 (rs8057044, rs8050136, rs9939609, rs62033406, and rs9930506) of the gene, and a missense SNV i.e.

Treatment of Obesity with Thyroid hormones in Europe. Data from the THESIS* Collaboration.

Purpose: The use of thyroid hormones (TH) to treat obesity is unsupported by evidence as reflected in international guidelines. We explored views about this practice, and associations with respondent characteristics among European thyroid specialists.

Methods: Specialists from 28 countries were invited to a survey via professional organisations.
