January 2025
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) may present with different clinical symptoms including visual disturbance, headache, seizures and impaired consciousness. Brain MRI shows oedema, usually involving the posterior subcortical regions. Triggering factors include hypertension and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.

- - The study aims to investigate the long-term outcomes of patients with bilateral pheochromocytomas who underwent either total or cortical-sparing adrenalectomies, focusing on mortality risks, adrenal insufficiency, and tumor recurrence.
- - Data from 625 patients treated between 1950 and 2018 revealed a significant presence of genetic mutations related to pheochromocytomas, with almost half of the patients experiencing adrenal insufficiency after total adrenalectomy, while complications were notably less in those who had cortical-sparing procedures.
- - Of the 849 surgeries conducted, 52% were planned as cortical-sparing, with a success rate of 76.5%. The findings highlight the risks of long-term complications for patients post
Background: Lenvatinib is a multi-kinase inhibitor approved for patients with radioactive iodine (RAI)-resistant differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). Before the drug approval from the Italian National Regulatory Agency, a compassionate use programme has been run in Italy. This retrospective study aimed to analyse data from the first series of patients treated with lenvatinib in Italy.

Deficiency of carnitine palmitoyltransferase type II (CPT2) is a disorder of lipid metabolism that, in the muscle form, manifests with recurrent attacks of myalgias often associated with myoglobinuria. Rhabdomyolytic episodes may be complicated by life-threatening events, including acute renal failure (ARF).

We aimed to assess the prevalence of ARMC5 germline mutations and correlate genotype with phenotype in a large cohort of PBMAH patients. A multicenter study was performed, collecting patients from different endocrinology units in Italy.
