27. Elevated IGF-1 with GH suppression after an oral glucose overload: incipient acromegaly or false-positive IGF-1?
ABSTRACT Objective To report the evolution of patients with a suggestive clinical scenario and elevated serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), but growth hormone (GH) suppression in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), in whom acromegaly was not initially excluded. Subjects and methods Forty six patients with a suggestive clinical scenario, who h

28. Incidence and prevalence of clinically relevant pituitary adenomas: retrospective cohort study in a Health Management Organization in Buenos Aires, Argentina
ABSTRACT Objectives The main purpose of this study was to estimate the incidence rate and prevalence of clinically relevant pituitary adenomas (PAs) within the Hospital Italiano Medical Care Program (HIMCP), a well-defined population of 150,000 members living in the urban and suburban area of the city of Buenos Aires. We defined clinically relevant PAs as

29. Correlations between forced oscillation technique parameters and pulmonary densitovolumetry values in patients with acromegaly
The aims of this study were to evaluate the forced oscillation technique (FOT) and pulmonary densitovolumetry in acromegalic patients and to examine the correlations between these findings. In this cross-sectional study, 29 non-smoking acromegalic patients and 17 paired controls were subjected to the FOT and quantification of lung volume using multidetector

31. Laboratory investigation of acromegaly: Is basal or random GH > 0.4 µg/L in the presence of normal serum IGF-1 an important result?
Objective To determine the frequency of indication of the GH suppression test and pituitary magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with clinical suspicion of acromegaly with GH concentrations > 0.4 µg/L despite normal serum IGF-1. Subjects and methods A total of 160 patients with clinical suspicion of acromegaly with normal IGF-1 were studied. Result

32. Prostatic disorders in acromegalic patients experience of a Brazilian center
Introduction Published data suggest that patients with acromegaly have an increased prevalence of prostate disorders. Objective To evaluate prostatic disorders in acromegalic patients comparing these results after one year of treatment of acromegaly and with a group of healthy men. Materials and Methods This study was composed of two parts: sectional st

33. Padronização das técnicas de PNA e PCR em tempo real para detecção das mutações ativadoras no GNAS na síndrome de McCune-Albright / Standardization of the PNA and real time techniques for the detection of activating mutations in the GNAS in McCune-Albright syndrome
The McCune-Albright Syndrome (MAS) is a genetic disease, with incidence estimated at 1/100.000 and 1/1000000 cases per year. MAS is clinically characterized by the triad: bone fibrous dysplasia (FD) café-au-lait skin spots and endocrine hyperfunction, such as: precocious puberty (PP), Cushing s syndrome, hyperthyroidism and acromegaly. The diagnosis of MAS

34. CÂNCER DE TIRÓIDE EM PACIENTES COM ACROMEGALIA: UM ESTUDO CASO-CONTROLE / THYROID CANCER IN PATIENTS WITH ACROMEGALY: A STUDY OF CASE-CONTROL
Vários estudos têm associado acromegalia a um risco aumentado de tumores benignos e malignos. Enquanto bócios simples e multinodulares são achados comuns em acromegálicos, a prevalência de câncer de tireóide é incerta. O objetivo deste estudo foi estimar a prevalência de câncer de tireóide em uma série de pacientes com acromegalia de três hospi

Introdução: Uma miocardiopatia específica da acromegalia vem sendo descrita na literatura, principalmente em caucasianos e que é independente de outros fatores de risco, sobretudo, da Hipertensão Arterial Sistêmica (HAS). Objetivo: avaliar as alterações cardíacas em uma população acromegálica altamente miscigenada, assim como a importância dos f
