Therapeutic Management and Long-Term Outcome of Hyperthyroidism in Patients with Antithyroid-Induced Agranulocytosis: A Retrospective, Multicenter Study.

Background: Antithyroid drug-induced agranulocytosis (AIA) (neutrophils <500/µL) is a rare but serious complication in the treatment of hyperthyroidism.

Methodology: Adult patients with AIA who were followed up at 12 hospitals in Spain were retrospectively studied. A total of 29 patients were studied.

Acute and long-term effects of zoledronate in adult patients with osteogenesis imperfecta. An observational Spanish study with five years of follow-up.

Unlabelled: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inherited disorder that causes low mineral density and bone fragility. Previous studies have shown the efficacy of bisphosphonates to increase bone mineral density (BMD). This study assessed changes over time in BMD and biochemical markers of bone metabolism in adult patients with osteogenesis imperfecta treated with intravenous zoledronic acid and the safety of this treatment.

Structural and functional changes in the heart of adult patients with osteogenesis imperfecta: Case-control study.

Introduction And Objectives: Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a connective tissue disease characterised by an anomalous synthesis of type i collagen. Little is known about the cardiovascular affectation suffered by these patients. The most frequently described are valvular dysfunction and dilatation of the aorta.

[Use of 18F-FDG-positron emission tomography in presurgical evaluation of nonspecific or suspectious adrenal masses in non-oncologic patients].

Background And Objective: Our purpose was to assess the utility of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET) in pre-surgical characterization of adrenal masses. These masses were incidentally discovered in non-oncologic patients or during the study of endocrine hormone overproduction. These nodular lesions showed nonspecific or suspicious radiological features in the imaging tests routinely performed (CT and/or MRI).
