Development and internal validation of a clinical score to predict neonatal hypoglycaemia in women with gestational diabetes.

Introduction: Gestational diabetes (GD) is a risk factor for neonatal hypoglycaemia (NH), but other factors can increase this risk.

Objectives: To create a score to predict NH in women with GD.

Methods: Retrospective study of women with GD with a live singleton birth between 2012 and 2017 from the Portuguese GD registry.

Bone mineral density progression following long-term simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation in type-1 diabetes.

Introduction: Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation (SPKT) has demonstrated favorable impact on the progression of chronic complications in type-1 diabetes (T1D) and terminal chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, some CKD mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBD) may persist, even after transplantation. There are only a few studies addressing the long-term progression of bone mineral density (BMD) in these patients.

Severe symptomatic hyperparathyroidism-Is it carcinoma?-Case report and literature review.

Parathyroid carcinoma is a rare disease, difficult to diagnose and associated with a poor prognosis. It must be suspected preoperatively, based on clinical and imaging grounds, in order to perform the best surgical option and avoid compromising patient's prognosis.

Characteristics of hypoglycaemic episodes in diabetic patients treated at the emergency room of a Portuguese tertiary centre, 2012-2016.

Objective: To analyse changes in the characteristics of hypoglycaemic episodes treated in the emergency room of a tertiary hospital in Portugal between 2012 and 2016.

Research Design And Methods: We retrospectively analysed all emergency room reports for patients discharged with a diagnosis of hypoglycaemia between 2012 and 2016 and analysed demographic characteristics, type of diabetes and treatments, causes of hypoglycaemia and discharge destination. Patients without diabetes were excluded.

Diagnosis, treatment, and survival analysis of adrenocortical carcinomas: a multicentric study.

Introduction: Current guidelines specify controversial areas in adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC), such as optimal follow-up time after remission and identification of prognostic markers. We aim to address these topics by analyzing four reference centers in our country.

Methods: Cross-sectional multicentric study of 69 patients (mean age: 51.

Diagnostic accuracy of Bilateral Inferior Petrosal Sinus Sampling: The Experience of a Tertiary Centre.

Purpose: To assess the accuracy of bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling both in the differential diagnosis of adrenocorticotrophic hormone dependent Cushing's syndrome and predicting the localization on the pituitary.

Methods: The authors evaluated all patients that undergone bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling in a tertiary centre, between January 1995 and March 2018. The probable diagnosis of Cushing's disease was made when the basal central/peripheral gradient was>2 and/or>3 after stimulation with corticotrophin releasing hormone.
