Further research is needed to determine whether BIS should replace DXA as a measure of muscle mass function and function or if a combination of the two methods may perform better than either alone as a way to evaluate risk of adverse health outcomes such as falls and fractures.

We report here data on 519 from 670 patients with pituitary adenomas obtained from a computerized registry. Three hundred and forty five were females (66%) and 174 males (34%), aged 14-80. Final diagnosis was acromegaly in 176, Cushing's disease in 153, prolactinoma in 101 and clinically non-functioning adenoma in 89. Mean age at diagnosis was 43.9 ± 13.5 (16-80) for acromegalics, 35.7 ± 12.9 (14-72) for Cushing's, 30.0 ± 13.4 (15-79) for prolactinoma and 52.1 ± 15.2 (17-79), for non-functioning tumours. The setup of an institutional registry on pituitary tumours constitutes a useful tool to analyze clinical experience, optimize the cost/benefit ratio of procedures used for diagnosis and to ameliorate therapeutic strategies, improving patient's care. It greatly contributes to teaching medical students as well as to post-graduate physicians and provides a basis for developing clinical research.

A growing number of cases are currently derived to specialized centers suggesting an increasing knowledge of the clinical features of hypercortisolism by specialists of diverse branches of clinical medicine. Clinical signs derive from an exaggeration of the physiological actions of cortisol inducing protein breakdown, hyperglycemia, fat mobilization, dyslipidemia, hydrosaline retention, immunosuppression and increased susceptibility to infection. Despite its low specificity, symptoms such as unexplained development of central obesity, mood changes, fatigue, weakness, myopathy, easy bruisability, red striae, arterial hypertension, diabetes and hyperlipidemia, are suggestive of the diagnosis. From an epidemiological point of view, Cushing's syndrome is to be suspected and consequently searched for among patients with uncontrolled high blood pressure or diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, polycystic ovarian syndrome, osteoporosis, depression or adrenal incidentaloma. True Cushing's syndrome has to be differentiated from pseudo syndromes. Most sensitive physical signs for discriminating Cushing's syndrome from pseudo-Cushing states are the presence of supraclavicular fat pads, myopathy, thin skin and easy bruising. The recognition of the clinical manifestations of Cushing's syndrome and of the sub-populations at risk of contracting the disease should be improved through medical education at the medical school and at postgraduate levels. Clinical detection of Cushing's syndrome must be performed mainly by non-endocrinologists, yet its etiological diagnosis and therapeutic management is to be carried out in highly experienced and specialized centers, to ensure the best results in the treatment of this really challenging endocrine disturbance.

The aim of the present manuscript was to assess the prevalence of sarcopenia in postmenopausal women and its relationship with bone mineral density, falls and fragility fractures according to EWGSOP2. In this cross-sectional study, 250 ambulatory postmenopausal women over 60 years of age were included. Lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) and whole-body composition were assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Muscle strength was evaluated by handgrip dynamometry and physical performance by a 4-m walk gait speed and five-repetition sit-to-stand test. Sarcopenia was defined according to EWGSOP2 as low muscle strength (handgrip) and low muscle mass (appendicular skeletal muscle mass index by DXA). A sarcopenia prevalence of 4% was found in the whole group increasing with age being 12.5% in = 80- year-old. A...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate bone microarchitecture in women with PLO to better understand the pathophysiology of this disease. Methods In this retrospective study, we included women with PLO referred to our bone center between November 2007 and July 2012. We assessed bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, bone turnover markers, and bone microarchitecture by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography. Results were compared with a control group of healthy lactating women. Results Of the 7 primiparous patients with PLO, 6 suffered vertebral fractures and 1 developed a hip fracture during the seventh month of gestation. Fractures occurred within the eighth month of pregnancy and the fourth month post partum; vertebral ...

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) or hereditary neuropathy involves both motor and sensory nerves. Falls are often the first manifestation in these patients and represent an important risk factor for fracture. The reduction of mechanical input on bone inhibits bone formation by osteoblasts and accelerates bone resorption by osteoclasts, leading to disuse osteoporosis. We report three cases of individuals from the same family with a diagnosis of CMT with severe tibia bone microarchitecture deterioration assessed by high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). This affectation was exclusive to the tibia; the radius remained undamaged, showing the consequences of the lack of mobility and mechanical stimulation. Physical activity and rehabilitation, in addition to adequate calcium and vitamin D supplementation, may play an essential role in the management of this disease.

Up to now, the long-term effect of the gluten-free diet (GFD) on impaired microstructural parameters of bones has not been assessed. Aim: Our objective was to determine the effect of the GFD on bone microarchitecture exploring changes in a group of premenopausal untreated CD women measure both, at diagnosis and after three years on a GFD. Methods: We prospectively enrolled a series of consecutive pre-menopausal females with newly diagnosed CD. Clinical and biochemical status, CD specific serology, bone densitometry and microarchitecture were assessed at diagnosis of CD (baseline) and after three-years on the GFD. The microarchitecture parameters of distal bones (distal tibia and radium) were determined by HR-pQCT (trabecular and cortical compartments). The t test was used to compare changes between time points depending on the distribution of data. Results: Thirty-one patients were enrolled at baseline and 24 completed the 3-years assessment. Compared with baseline, body mass index and serum vitamin D increased significantly at the three-year time point (p<0.01, for both). In contrast, parathyroid hormone decreased significantly (p=0.02). While at baseline all patients were positive for anti-TG2 antibodies, 89% of cases were negative after three years on a GFD. Bone mineral density increased significantly for most sites (p<0.01). The microarchitecture of trabecular and cortical compartments of the distal radius was significantly improved (total volumetric density, trabecular bone volume fraction, trabecular density, trabecular thickness and cortical density; p<0.01). At the tibia level, treatment was associated with significant increase of: total volumetric density, cortical density, trabecular density, trabecular bone volume fraction and trabecular thickness (p<0.01). (Table ) Conclusions: We show for the first time that the microstructural damage in distal bones (trabecular and cortical compartments) of young premenopausal CD women improves after a long-term successful treatment with a GFD. We hypothesize that the bone microarchitecture improvement might be the substrate associated with the decreased risk of fractures as consequence of treatment with a GFD, a clinical effect that was formerly reported by us.

To assess changes in bone microarchitecture after one year on gluten-free diet (GFD) in a cohort of premenopausal women. We prospectively enrolled 31 consecutive females at diagnosis of CD; 26 of them were reassessed one year after GFD. They all underwent HRpQCT scans of distal radius and tibia, areal bone mineral density by DXA and biochemical tests (bone specific parameters and CD serology) at both time points. Secondary, we compared one-year results with those of a control group of healthy premenopausal women of similar age and BMI in order to assess whether the microarchitectural parameters of treated CD patients had reached the values expected for their age. Compared with baseline, the trabecular compartment in the distal radius and tibia improved significantl...

Design: A pragmatic, randomized, partially single-blind placebo-controlled study. Setting: Patients admitted to a tertiary university hospital for acute hip fracture. Participants: 675 healthy adult patients undergoing surgery for osteoporotic hip fracture were recruited from January 2004 to December 2007. Intervention: Patients were randomized to receive either 3-monthly oral doses of 3 mg calcifediol (Hidroferol Choque®) or placebo in the 12 months postsurgery. Patients who received calcifediol were also given an exercise programme. The placebo group received standard health recommendations only. Measurements: The primary endpoint was survival at 1 year and at 4 year follow-up. We also recorded new fractures, medical complications and anti-osteoporotic treatment compliance. Results: We included a total of 88 patients, aged 62 to 99 years. Mean age was 82 years and 88.6% were women. At 12 months, 10 (11.3%) patients had died, 9 of them, from the non-intervention group. At 4 years after surgery, 20 (22.7%) had died, 3 (3.4%) from the intervention group and 17 (19.3%) from the non-intervention group. At this time, survival curve analysis showed 93% survival in the intervention group and 62% in the non-intervention group (p=0.001). At 12-month follow up, there were 18 new fractures, 9 in each group. The non-intervention group had more medical complications, with significant differences at visit 2 (p = 0.04) and 3 (p = 0.02) but not at visit 4 (p = 0.18). No significant differences between groups were found regarding treatment compliance. Conclusion: 3-monthly, oral supplements of 3 mg calcifediol plus daily exercise improved survival at one-year and four-year follow up after surgery for an osteoporotic hip fracture.

Cole's fracture is the most common event in CD patients (54%). Assessment of patients' risk using bone mineral densitometry (BMD) is recommended by CD guidelines. However, BMD does not always represent a precise indicator of damage and a reliable predictor of bone fracture. High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) is a new in vivo imaging technique for assessing 3D microstructure of cortical and trabecular bone and for giving inside to factors involved in bone fragility. To our knowledge, no studies have investigated microstructural quality of bones in CD patients. Aims: To determine the structure characteristics of peripheral bones in a consecutive cohort of adult pre-menopausal females with active CD assessed at the time of diagnosis by using HR-pQCT. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 30 consecutive female patients with newly diagnosed CD. Parameters of patients were compared with 30 healthy, age-matched females with normal BMD measurements (lumbar spine, femoral neck and ultradistal radius). HR-pQCT bone volumetric and structural measurements were determined at the ultradistal non-dominant radius and tibia. Results: CD patients and healthy controls were comparable in terms of age, height, weight and body mass index (pNS). Lumbar spine, femoral neck and ultradistal radius BMD of CD patients were significantly lower than those values determined for healthy controls (p,0.01; p,0.04, p,0.001; respectively). However, while mean lumbar spine and femoral neck BMD values for CD patients remained in the normal range, ultradistal radius BMD mean z-score value for patients (-1.9±1.2) was borderline the lower end of the range expected for age. Structural damage in patients measured by using HR-pQCT was considerably higher in the ultradistal radius compared with tibia. Compared with controls, CD patients were significantly affected in the total volumetric density (p,0.006), trabecular density (p,0.001), bone volume/trabecular volume ratio (p,0.001), number of trabecules/mm (p,0.001) and trabecular thickness (p,0.004). Cortical bone was not significantly affected in any of the areas assessed. Conclusions: HR-pQCT was able to identify significant bone trabecular deterioration that may be responsible for the increased fragility and fracture prevalence in active CD. This affected quality of the trabecular bone was characterized by a lower number and a reduced thickness of trabecules, both producing a lower trabecular density. These changes were more pronounced in the ultradistal radius. Notably, cortical bone was preserved. Whether these women are able to recover trabecular bone density and structure after gluten-free diet is not known and will be assess in future results of this longitudinal study.

High-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) permits three-dimensional exploration of bone microarchitectural characteristics measuring separately cortical and trabecular compartments, and giving a more profound insight into bone disease pathophysiology and fracture .We aimed to determine the volumetric and microarchitectural characteristics of peripheral bones - distal radius and tibia- in an adult premenopausal cohort with active CD assessed at diagnosis. We prospectively enrolled 31 consecutive premenopausal women with newly diagnosed CD (median age 29 years, range: 18-49) and 22 healthy women of similar age (median age 30 years, range 21-41) and body mass index. Compared with controls, peripheral bones of CD patients were significantly lower in terms of total volumetric density mg/cm(3) (mean ± SD: 274.7 ± 51.7 vs. 324.7 ± 45.8, p 0.0006 at the radius; 264.4 ± 48.7 vs. 307 ± 40.7, p 0.002 at the tibia), trabecular density mg/cm(3) (118.6 ± 31.5 vs. 161.9 ± 33.6, p &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 0.0001 at the radius; 127.9 ± 28.7 vs. 157.6 ± 15.6, p…

Prospective observational study in the IMCU of a university teaching hospital. We studied 412 patients over 8 months, classified into three groups: under 65years (control group, n=158), 65-80 (n=186), and &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;80 (n=68). At admission: APACHE II, TISS-28 first day, Charlson Index, diagnosis, and prior Barthel Index. in-hospital mortality, length of stay, discharge destination, and 2-year mortality and readmissions. Data analysis included multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristics area under the curve (ROC AUC). No statistically significant differences between groups were observed in hospital mortality (14.1%), discharge to a long-term facility (2.7%), or 2-year readmissions (1.2+/-2.1). However, hospital stay was longer in patients aged 65-80years (14 vs.10 days) and 2-year mortality was higher in those 65 or over (34% vs.10.6%). In the overall series in-hospital mortality was predicted by APACHE II, first-day TISS-28, and diagnosis (ROC AUC 0.81), and 2-year mortality by Charlson Index and age (ROC AUC 0.77). In the elderly patients 2-year mortality was predicted by Charlson and Barthel indices (ROC AUC 0.70). Illness severity and therapeutic intervention at admission to IMCU were predictors of short-term mortality, whereas the strongest predictor of long-term mortality was comorbidity. Our results suggest that comprehensive assessment of elderly patients at admission to IMCUs may improve outcome prediction.
