[Epub ahead of print].Paragangliomas and pheochromocytomas (PPGL) are rare neuroendocrine tumours that can arise either from the adrenal medulla (pheochromocytomas, PCC) or from extra-adrenal paraganglia (paragangliomas, PGL). PPGLs are considered to be the most heritable of human tumours with at least...

To read the full abstract: Diabetes Care. 2018;41:326-332The question whether or not T1DM patients with low HbA1c levels, which are thought to characterize good metabolic control, in fact experience hypoglycemia and most importantly severe hypoglycemia more frequently than T1DM patients with high HbA1c levels and hence worse metabolic control has been discussed controversially. However, it is commonl...

J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2021 Mar 25;106(4):1111–1128.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33382876/In this multicentre patient cohort study, the authors investigated the use of targeted metabolomics to discriminate primary hypertension (PHT) from endocrine forms of hypertension (EHT). They identified 16 metabolites that help to discriminate between PHT and EHT.Arteri...

The findings contributes to our und...
