Journal ArticleDOI
Reduction of trabecular and cortical volumetric bone mineral density at the proximal femur in patients with acromegaly
Elena Valassi,Iris Crespo,Jorge Malouf,Jaume Llauger,Anna Aulinas,Ana Marin,Betina Biagetti,Susan M. Webb +7 more
TL;DR: Both cortical and trabecular vBMD are reduced at the proximal femur in ACRO patients, regardless of gender, gonadal status, and disease activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping AcroQoL scores to EQ-5D to obtain utility values for patients with acromegaly.
Xavier Badia,Peter J Trainer,Nienke R. Biermasz,Jitske Tiemensma,Jitske Tiemensma,Ágata Carreño,Montse Roset,A. Forsythe,Susan M. Webb +8 more
TL;DR: A mapping algorithm was developed for mapping of AcroQoL to EQ-5D, using patient level data from three previously published studies, and including validation in the confirmatory sub-sample, and the model’s predictive ability was confirmed in the validation cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cystatin-C and epicardial adipose tissue as noninvasive predictors of cardiovascular risk in acromegaly.
Anna Aulinas,Iris Crespo,David Vilades,Rubén Leta,Eulàlia Urgell,Betina Biagetti,Susan M. Webb,Elena Valassi +7 more
TL;DR: Acromegaly (ACRO) is associated with elevated cardiovascular risk, although the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is unclear, and increased epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) and elevated cystatin‐C (Cys‐C) levels are cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Voltage-dependent Na+ channel phenotype changes in myoblasts. Consequences for cardiac repair
Ramón Martínez-Mármol,Miren David,Rosario Sanches,Meritxell Roura-Ferrer,Núria Villalonga,Eleonora Sorianello,Susan M. Webb,Antonio Zorzano,Anna Gumà,Carmen Valenzuela,Antonio Felipe +10 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that skeletal myotubes adopt a cardiac-like phenotype in cell culture conditions and that the expression of Na(v)1.5 acts as an underlying molecular mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuromuscular dysfunction in adult growth hormone deficiency.
Susan M. Webb,Irene de Andrés-Aguayo,Ricard Rojas-García,Emilio Ortega,Eduard Gallardo,Antonio Mestron,Carmen Serrano-Munuera,Roser Casamitjana,Isabel Illa +8 more
TL;DR: This data indicates that treatment with recombinant human GH (rhGH) therapy improves the symptoms of AGHD, including fatigue, tiredness and myalgias, which improve after initiatingrhGH therapy.
