Executive functioning and quality of life in acromegaly.

Psychology research and behavior management

Solomon E, Brănișteanu D, Dumbravă A, Solomon RG, Kiss L, Glod M, Preda C.
PMID: 30655710
Psychol Res Behav Manag. 2019 Jan 03;12:39-44. doi: 10.2147/PRBM.S183950. eCollection 2019.

INTRODUCTION: Active acromegaly is a rare chronic endocrine disorder caused by excessive growth hormone (GH). Clinical studies suggest that cognitive performance is impaired in acromegaly - particularly executive function as well as short- and long-term memory. This study compared...

The impact of growth hormone replacement therapy on adipokines, but not upon Ghrelin.

Minerva endocrinology

Belceanu AD, Bilha SC, Vulpoi C, Branisteanu DD.
PMID: 34546018
Minerva Endocrinol (Torino). 2021 Sep 21; doi: 10.23736/S2724-6507.21.03588-0. Epub 2021 Sep 21.

BACKGROUND: Besides growth acceleration, growth hormone (GH) therapy of GH deficient (GHD) children improves body composition by decreasing body fat. This effect is due to GH interaction with lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, possibly also mediated by adipokines secreted by...

Drug-induced Rowell syndrome, a rare and difficult to manage disease: A case report.

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Brănișteanu DE, Ianoşi SL, Dimitriu A, Stoleriu G, Oanţǎ A, Brănișteanu DC.
PMID: 29434682
Exp Ther Med. 2018 Jan;15(1):785-788. doi: 10.3892/etm.2017.5557. Epub 2017 Nov 23.

Rowell syndrome is defined as the association between lupus erythematosus, erythema multiforme-like lesions and characteristic immunological changes including positive tests for rheumatoid factor, speckled antinuclear antibody, positive anti-Ro or anti-La antibodies. The present report presents the case of a...

Bone mineral density predictors in long-standing type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

BMC endocrine disorders

Bilha SC, Leustean L, Preda C, Branisteanu DD, Mihalache L, Ungureanu MC.
PMID: 34362364
BMC Endocr Disord. 2021 Aug 06;21(1):156. doi: 10.1186/s12902-021-00815-5.

BACKGROUND: Despite the increased fracture risk, bone mineral density (BMD) is variable in type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes mellitus. We aimed at comparing independent BMD predictors in T1D, T2D and control subjects, respectively.METHODS: Cross-sectional case-control study...

New insights into the metabolic-bone crosstalk in active acromegaly.

Endokrynologia Polska

Bilha SC, Matei A, Constantinescu D, Pavel Tanasa M, Mogos-Cioncu R, Cianga P, Preda C, Branisteanu DD.
PMID: 33749810
Endokrynol Pol. 2021;72(3):201-210. doi: 10.5603/EP.a2021.0028. Epub 2021 Mar 22.

INTRODUCTION: Body composition (BC) and adipokines share bone active properties and display an altered profile in acromegaly. The fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)/α-Klotho system, also involved in bone metabolism, is upregulated in growth hormone (GH) excess states. Hence, we...

Current diagnosis and management strategies in pachychoroid spectrum of diseases (Review).

Experimental and therapeutic medicine

Moraru AD, Costin D, Moraru RL, Costuleanu M, Brănișteanu DC.
PMID: 32905090

This review presents a systematic analysis of the literature regarding the pachychoroid disease spectrum nomenclature, diagnosis criteria and therapeutic options. Pachychoroid related diseases are a new concept, introduced into the ophthalmological nomenclature in 2013 and evolving both as concept...

Role of copeptin in the diagnosis of traumatic neuroendocrine dysfunction.

Neuropeptides

Săcărescu A, Turliuc MD, Brănișteanu DD.
PMID: 34175655
Neuropeptides. 2021 Oct;89:102167. doi: 10.1016/j.npep.2021.102167. Epub 2021 Jun 24.

Traumatic neuroendocrine dysfunction may present with diabetes insipidus (DI) or with the syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). Both these pathologies involve a disturbance in the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion, causing dysnatremias. Diagnosis of posttraumatic ADH dysfunction is...

Body composition, adipokines, FGF23-Klotho and bone in kidney transplantation: Is there a link?.

Journal of nephrology

Matei A, Bilha SC, Constantinescu D, Pavel-Tanasa M, Cianga P, Covic A, Branisteanu DD.
PMID: 33560479
J Nephrol. 2021 Feb 09; doi: 10.1007/s40620-021-00972-9. Epub 2021 Feb 09.

BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation-associated mineral and bone disorder (KT-MBD) still represents a black box on the long-term due to scarce available data. We aimed to investigate the impact of non-classical bone regulating factors (body composition, adipokines, inflammatory markers, fibroblast growth...
