In today's medical world, technology dominates, investigations are often performed without evidence-based indications and incidental findings are abundant. Knowing what to do with this information is challenging especially for patients who may already have received devastating news. In this issue of Clinical Endocrinology, Wadsley and colleagues representing expertise in Oncology, Radiology, Endocrinology and Endocrine Nursing, touch upon a subject which existing guidelines have tended to skim over, and offer their consensus view...

OBJECTIVE: As part of the update of the International Evidence-Based Guidelines for the Assessment and Management of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a systematic review was performed to inform evidence-based recommendations. DESIGN: Systematic review. Only randomized controlled trial were included. PATIENTS: Women with PCOS; the use of combined oral contraceptive pills (COCP) was compared with no medical treatment. MEASUREMENTS: Outcomes were designed in collaboration with clinical experts, researchers, and consumers...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to investigate whether serum Luteinizing Hormone (LH) levels in women with Functional Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (FHA) and Polycystic Ovarian Morphology (PCOM) are still associated to Body Mass Index (BMI) and/or serum insulin and/or Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) levels using a larger population of FHA. DESIGN: Retrospective observational study (2006 - 2020). PARTICIPANTS: Data from 62 FHA patients were used for this study using strict criteria to define them...

BACKGROUND: Adrenal metastasis is the most common adrenal malignancy and can be bilateral in up to 43% of patients. Radiotherapy (RT) is one option available to treat adrenal metastases. The risk of primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) after adrenal RT is unclear. OBJECTIVE: Determine the incidence and the timeline of PAI in patients undergoing adrenal RT. DESIGN, SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Single-centre longitudinal retrospective cohort study of adult patients with adrenal metastases treated with RT between 2010 and 2021...

PURPOSE: Individuals with 45,X/46,XY or 46,XY gonadal dysgenesis are at increased risk of germ cell malignancies. Therefore, prophylactic bilateral gonadectomy is advised in girls and considered in boys with atypical genitalia for undescended, macroscopically abnormal gonads. However, severely dysgenetic gonads may not contain germ cells rendering gonadectomy unnecessary. Therefore, we investigate if undetectable pre-operative serum AMH and inhibin B can predict the absence of germ cells, (pre)malignant or otherwise...

BACKGROUND: Population studies suggest cancer morbidity may be different in Turner syndrome (TS) compared to the background female population. However, significant variability is observed in cancer associations likely due to heterogeneity in patient cohorts. We explored the prevalence and patterns of cancer among a cohort of women with TS attending a dedicated TS clinic. METHODS: Retrospective analysis of the patient database was performed to identify TS women who developed cancer...

OBJECTIVE: Cardiovascular complications and congenital malformations are known traits in Turner syndrome (TS) which increases mortality. Women with TS have varying phenotype and cardiovascular risk. A biomarker assessing the risk for cardiovascular complications could potentially reduce mortality in high-risk TS and reduce screening in TS participants with low cardiovascular risk. DESIGN, PARTICIPANTS AND MEASUREMENTS: As part of a study initiated in 2002, eighty-seven TS participants and 64 controls were invited to MRI of the aorta, anthropometry, and biochemical markers...

OBJECTIVE: There is controversial results about serum kisspeptin, neurokinin-B (NKB), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and inhibin B (INHB) levels in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP). Aim of this study is to evaluate serum levels of these four peptides in patients presented with early pubertal signs, and to evaluate their diagnostic validity in the diagnosis of CPP. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study PATIENTS: Study included 99 girls (51 CPP, 48 premature thelarche [PT]) whose breast development started before 8 years and 42 age-matched healthy prepubertal girls...

With the widespread use of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET/CT) in the investigation and staging of cancers, incidental discovery of FDG-avid thyroid nodules is becoming increasingly common, with a reported incidence in the range 1-4% of FDG PET/CT scans. The risk of malignancy in an incidentally discovered FDG avid thyroid nodule is not clear due to selection bias in reported retrospective series but is likely to be less than 15%. Even in cases where the nodule is found to be malignant, the majority will be differentiated thyroid cancers with an excellent prognosis even without treatment...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While it has been established within the first 4 months of life that there is no circadian rhythm, what is unclear is the usefulness of a random serum cortisol (rSC) level in determining neonatal central adrenal insufficiency (CAI). The objective of the study is to determine the utility of using rSC in infants less than 4 months old in the evaluation of CAI. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of infants who underwent a low dose cosyntropin stimulation test ≤4 months of life with rSC taken as baseline cortisol prior to stimulation...

OBJECTIVE: Obese women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) exhibit a hypercoagulable state, with the suggestion that this may be obesity-driven rather than an intrinsic facet of PCOS; however, this has not yet been definitively determined since body mass index (BMI) is so highly correlated with PCOS. Therefore, only a study design where obesity, insulin resistance and inflammation are matched can answer this question. DESIGN: This was a cohort study. Patients Weight and aged-matched nonobese women with PCOS (n = 29) and control women (n = 29) were included...

OBJECTIVE: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a pathophysiological disease affecting reproductive and metabolic indicators. Research has shown that kisspeptin might be involved in the regulation of pituitary hormone secretion and energy metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum kisspeptin levels and abnormal metabolism in PCOS. METHODS: Fifty patients with PCOS and 50 control patients were recruited for this study. Serum kisspeptin levels were measured via ELISA...
