Poverty and immigration as a barrier to iodine intake and maternal adherence to iodine supplementation

Published in Journal of Endocrinological Investigation

PurposeIodine deficiency still remains a significant health issue worldwide. Pregnant and lactating women are at risk for iodine deficiency when living in mild iodine-deficient areas such as Italy. This study aims at evaluating the consumption of iodized salt, iodine-rich-foods and maternal micronutrient supplements in a group of women with limited...

Published in Journal of Endocrinological Investigation

PurposeReceptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B/osteoprotegerin (RANKL/RANK/OPG) axis has been hypothesized as a potential mediator of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The aim of the study was to assess whether circulating concentrations of RANKL, RANK, and OPG were associated with early si...

Traditional therapies often promote only temporarily symptomatic relief and may be associated with severe adverse effects. There is scarce experience in treating malignant i...

Exposure to insulin degludec during pregnancy: report of a small series and review of the literature

Published in Journal of Endocrinological Investigation

BackgroundGood glycaemic control during pregnancy is key to reduce maternal and foetal complications. Insulin degludec, an ultralong acting analogue with a “peakless” and stable pharmacokinetic profile, has the potential advantage of reducing hypoglycaemia and glucose variability compared to other basal insulins. Therefore, degludec could be a reas...
