Cosa pretendere nel referto di una buona ecografia testicolare
Carlotta Pozza & Andrea. M. Isidori
Un referto ecografico deve contenere informazioni in grado di descrivere adeguatamente il quadro clinico valutato per l'intera durata dell'ecografia, e deve riportare eventuali difficoltà riscontrate nell’eseguire l’esame, per stimarne il valore diagnostico.
Nello stilare il referto di un’ecografia testicolare, generalmente si inizia descrivendo le tonache scrotali e di rivestimento dei testicoli, andando ad evidenziare eventuali alterazioni (per es. “ispessimento delle tonache per aumentato riflesso cremasterico; segni di pachivaginalite”).

Background: 131I treatment (tx) of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is associated withhematopoietic toxicity. It was hypothesized that metformin could have radioprotective effects on bone marrow function.The objective was to determine whether metformin prevents 131I-induced changes in complete blood counts (CBC) in patients with DTC.

Eur J Endocrinol. 2016;174(2):241-50
AIM: To gather data regarding factors predicting responsiveness to pasireotide in acromegaly.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: SSTR2a, SSTR3, SSTR5, AIP, Ki - 67 and the adenoma subtype were evaluated in somatotroph adenomas from 39 patients treated post-operativelywith somatostatin analogues (SSAs). A standardized SSTR scoring system was applied (scores 0-3). All patients received first-generation SSAs, and 11 resistant patients were subsequently treated with pasireotide LAR.
