Significance of incidental thyroid 18 F-fluorocholine uptake in patients with hyperparathyroidism imaged for localizing hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands.

Objective: 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT is considered the imaging gold standard for detection of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands . However, increased uptake might also occur in the thyroid gland. The aim of our study was to assess the incidence and significance of 18 F-fluorocholine uptake in the thyroid gland in patients with hyperparathyroidism.

Long-term results after transoral outlet reduction (TORe) of the gastrojejunal anastomosis for secondary weight regain and dumping syndrome after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.

Background: Bariatric surgery has been proven to be the most effective therapy for obesity and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is one of the most commonly performed procedure. However, weight regain and dumping syndrome occur over time. The transoral outlet reduction (TORe) procedure using an endoscopic suturing device may be an option to treat these conditions.

Impact on diabetes control and patient-reported outcomes of a newer implantable continuous glucose monitoring system (Eversense® CGM System): a single-centre retro- and prospective observational study.

Aims Of The Study: The Eversense® CGM System is the first and only continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) that uses a fully subcutaneous implanted sensor. This study aimed to evaluate effectiveness, safety and patient-reported outcomes in patients using the Eversense® CGM System in a realistic clinical setting, assessed at a single Swiss diabetes centre (Luzerner Kantonsspital) with prolonged follow-up.

Methods: This was a prospective and retrospective observational study that included patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus in whom at least one Eversense® glucose sensor was implanted between 2017 and 2022.

Localization of Brown Tumors With 18 F-Fluorocholine PET/CT Imaging in Severe Primary Hyperparathyroidism.

We present the case of a 68-year-old woman with a painful tibial tumor and fatigue. Histology and laboratory studies were consistent with a brown tumor secondary to initially unrecognized, severe primary hyperparathyroidism. 18 F-fluorocholine PET/CT revealed a large hypermetabolic parathyroid mass and multiple bone foci considered as brown tumors.

Plasma concentrations of SSRI/SNRI after bariatric surgery and the effects on depressive symptoms.

Background: Depression and treatment with antidepressants SSRI/SNRI are common in people with morbid obesity who are candidates for bariatric surgery. There is few and inconsistent data about the postoperative plasma concentrations of SSRI/SNRI. The aims of our study were to provide comprehensive data about the postoperative bioavailability of SSRI/SNRI, and the clinical effects on depressive symptoms.
