Metabolic impact of residual C-peptide secretion in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association of detectable C-peptide levels with various continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) metrics and diabetes complications in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM).

Subjects And Methods: Retrospective, descriptive study of 112 patients with T1DM undergoing intensive insulin therapy, categorized according to fasting C-peptide level into undetectable (<0.05 ng/mL) and detectable (≥0.

Flash glucose monitoring system in gestational diabetes: a study of accuracy and usability.

Purpose: Studies of flash glucose monitoring systems (FGMSs) in pregnancy are insufficient, especially in gestational diabetes (GD). Our aim was to evaluate Freestyle Libre's usability and accuracy (compared to self-monitoring of blood glucose [SMBG]) for GD patients in real-life conditions.

Methods: This is a prospective study with pregnant women diagnosed with GD (n = 24 for the usability analysis; n = 19 for the accuracy analysis).

Thyroid cytology: The reality before and after the introduction of ultrasound classification systems for thyroid nodules.

Background: Several ultrasound-based systems for classification of thyroid nodules are available. They allow for a better triage of the nodules that require cytological assessment, and lead to standardized recommendations. Our aim was to compare patients and nodules referred to fine-needle aspiration (FNA) before and after the introduction of these systems.

Determinants of skeletal fragility in acromegaly: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Purpose: Vertebral fractures (VFs) are a potential complication in acromegaly. However, the etiology of this skeletal fragility is unknown. This review aimed to evaluate the effect of acromegaly on VFs, bone turnover, areal bone mineral density (aBMD), and bone quality/microarchitecture.

The role of neck ultrasound in the follow-up of low- and intermediate- risk papillary thyroid cancer.

Introduction: The optimal time for a neck ultrasound (US) in the follow-up of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) after the first year is undetermined. We aimed to verify the utility of routine neck US in the surveillance of patients diagnosed with low- and intermediate-risk PTC with no evidence of disease at the one-year assessment.

Subjects And Methods: We conducted a retrospective longitudinal study of patients with low- and intermediate-risk PTC with normal neck US, unstimulated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) < 1 ng/mL and negative anti-Tg antibodies at the one-year follow-up.

Flash glucose monitoring system: impact on glycemic control and body mass index in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Flash glucose monitoring (FGM) is increasingly used in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) management. This study aimed to assess glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) in the first year of FGM use in patients with T1D and to identify predictive factors of benefit associated with its use.

Methods: Retrospective study of T1D patients, using FGM for ≥ 6 months and under intensive insulin therapy with multiple daily injections.
