Screening and management of metabolic complications of mTOR inhibitors in real-life settings
CONCLUSION: Our study is one of the few to look at metabolic complications secondary to mTORi in a real-life situation. The incidence of diabetes was high, but the use of antidiabetic treatment was variable. Normalization of glucose homeostasis after mTORi discontinuation is possible, particularly in patients who have not been placed on antidiabetic therapy. Screening for dyslipidemia was clearly inadequate in our study, making the data on this point more difficult to interpret. It appears that adherence to guidelines needs to be improved to optimize the management of patients treated with mTORi.PMID:38043912 | DOI:10.1016...

An incidental intrapericardial paraganglioma followed up for 11 years
We describe a pericardial paraganglioma with very unusual features: absence of catecholamine hypersecretion or compressive symptoms, located in the right atrium and apparently sporadic. After a curative intended surgery preceded by arterial embolization and preparation with alpha-blockade, there was complete remission with no evidence of local or extracardiac disease within a very long-term follow-up. We provide more evidence on the characterization, management and long-term outcomes of localized non-secretory pericardial paragangliomas. After surgical treatment, we propose lifelong clinical, biochemical, and imaging surve...

Androgenic Steroid Excess in Women
Ann Endocrinol (Paris). 2023 Nov 29:S0003-4266(23)00741-2. doi: 10.1016/j.ando.2023.11.001. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTExcessive use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) in sport occurs among professional athletes but increasingly also in amateurs. Prevalence of steroid use has been on the rise for a number of years. While the practice involves mostly men, it also occurs in women with an estimated prevalence of 1.6%. Since 2014, a 'steroid passport' has operated for sports people in competition that is based on longitudinal urinary and blood steroid levels, measured by liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Andro...

The experience of diagnosis announcement in rare endocrine diseases: A survey of the French FIRENDO network
CONCLUSION: This work suggests that better knowledge of the patient's experience is useful for improving the diagnosis announcement of rare endocrine disorders. The main recommendations derived from the survey were the need for several announcement visits, information on patient support groups and reference centers, imperatively avoiding impersonal announcement, and the usefulness of a written accompanying document.PMID:37951412 | DOI:10.1016/j.ando.2023.10.008 (Source: Annales d'Endocrinologie)
