Safety and diagnostic performance of parathyroid hormone assay in fine-needle aspirate in suspicious parathyroid adenomas.

Objective: To evaluate the safety and diagnostic performance of parathyroid hormone assay in fine-needle aspirate (PTH-FNA) in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and suspicious parathyroid adenomas.

Methodology: A retrospective observational study was performed in 47 patients (57.7 ± 11.

The presence of microvascular complications is associated with a poor evolution of metabolic control in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: To report the evolution of metabolic control and to assess the clinical and metabolic factors associated with the presence of microvascular complications in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Material And Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analysing clinical, laboratory, and therapeutic data from a registry of patients with T1DM created in 2010.

Results: Data recorded from 586 patients (males: 50.

Factors associated with negative Tc-MIBI scanning in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

Objective: The objective was to evaluate the clinical and biological factors associated with negative Tc-MIBI scanning in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).

Methods: A retrospective observational study was designed in 195 patients (mean age: 59.2 ± 13.

Randomized Study to Evaluate the Impact of Telemedicine Care in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes With Multiple Doses of Insulin and Suboptimal HbA in Andalusia (Spain): PLATEDIAN Study.

Objective: To assess the impact of a telemedicine visit using the platform Diabetic compared with a face-to-face visit on clinical outcomes, patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL), and physicians' satisfaction in patients with type 1 diabetes.

Research Design And Methods: PLATEDIAN (Telemedicine on Metabolic Control in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Andalusian Patients) (NCT03332472) was a multicenter, randomized, 6-month follow-up, open-label, parallel-group controlled study performed in patients with type 1 diabetes with suboptimal metabolic control (HbA <8% [<64 mmol/mol]), treated with multiple daily injections. A total of 388 patients were assessed for eligibility; 379 of them were randomized 1:1 to three face-to-face visits (control cohort [CC]) ( = 167) or the replacement of an intermediate face-to-face visit by a telemedicine visit using Diabetic (intervention cohort [IC]) ( = 163).

High capacity of ultrasound for locating parathyroid adenomas in endocrinology (the ETIEN 4 study).

Objective: To assess the diagnostic performance of neck ultrasound examination performed by endocrinologists to locate parathyroid adenomas in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).

Methodology: A retrospective observational study in 135 patients (mean age, 60.0±12.
