Clinical data were collected and a questionnaire about SARS-CoV-2 infection, vaccination and its possible adverse effects was applied. COVID-19 disease severity was defined as mild, moderate, and severe according to the WHO classification.Results: 145 patients were studied (79 women; age 50 ± 15.8 years; duration of pituitary disease 16.8 ± 11.5 years), the cause of pituitary disease was tumoral in 74.5%, and 45.9% were on glucocorticoid replacement due to ACTH deficiency. SARS-CoV-2 infection was confirmed in 51 patients (35.2%; 32 women; age 53.8 ± 14.8 years, 22 before vaccination), with 28 (54.9%), 17 (33.3%) and 6 (11.8%) cases of mild, moderate, and severe disease, respectively, and hospitalization was indicated in 7 (14%) cases. One mild case presented pituitary apoplexy after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Advanced age was a risk factor for COVID-19. Patients with moderate and severe forms of COVID-19 had higher prevalence of dyslipidemia and duration of pituitary disease. All but one of the participants were vaccinated against COVID-19, and 60.4% had adverse events, the most common local pain (54.0%), fever (33.3%), and headache (18.4%), with one case of alopecia and two of persistent fatigue.Conclusion: The prevalence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in our cohort was 35.2%, including 14% of moderate and severe cases requiring hospitalization. The vaccination was universal and safe.","PeriodicalId":20202,"journal":{"name":"Pituitary","volume":" ","pages":"992-999"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142154788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since medical therapy is central to their care, understanding how its use impacts on this is highly important.Methods: This review summarizes a systemmatic review of the literature on the effects of medical therapies for hormone-secreting pituitary tumors on bone.Results: In acromegaly, medical therapy lowers bone turnover marker (BTM) levels, consistent with correction of the high bone turnover of active disease, and overall, areal bone mineral density (aBMD) does not change or increases. Somatostatin-receptor ligand (SRL) and pegvisomant-treated acromegaly patients have persistently reduced volumetric BMD and microarchitectural abnormalities of the peripheral skeleton, deficits that are similar to those in surgically-treated patients. Fracture risk remains elevated in medically-treated acromegaly patients but in conjunction with biochemical control the risk is lessened. Treatment of prolactin-secreting tumors with dopamine agonists is associated with improvements in aBMD, but this does not always fully normalize despite effective medical treatment of the prolactinoma. In one cross-sectional study, prolactinoma patients had lower total volumetric BMD and impaired microarchitecture suggesting that bone microstructure does not fully normalize despite dopamine agonist therapy. Cross-sectional studies show a high rate of VF in patients with prolactin-secreting tumors that is lowered on cabergoline therapy, but still the fracture rate of men and postmenopausal women is higher than that of controls in some studies. Studies on the effects of modern-day medical therapy for Cushing's disease on bone are lacking.Conclusion: More research is needed on the effectsof medical therapies for hormone secreting pituitary tumors on bone health.","PeriodicalId":20202,"journal":{"name":"Pituitary","volume":" ","pages":"860-873"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141535078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pathophysiology of Long COVID is still largely poorly understood and multiple mechanisms were proposed to underlie its occurrence, including alterations in the hormonal hypothalamic-pituitary axes. Aim of this review is to present and discuss the potential negative implications of these hormonal dysfunctions in promoting and influencing the Long COVID syndrome. To date, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is the mostly investigated and several studies have reported a prolonged impairment leading to mild and subclinical forms of central adrenal insufficiency. Few data are also available regarding central hypogonadism, central hypothyroidism and growth hormone (GH) deficiency. A high prevalence of central hypogonadism in COVID-19 survivors several months after recovery was consistently reported in different cohorts. Conversely, very few data are available on the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis function that was mainly shown to be preserved in COVID-19 survivors. Finally, a potential impairment of the hypothalamic-GH axis in Long COVID has also been reported. These data altogether may suggest a novel possible pituitary-centred pathophysiological view of Long COVID syndrome which if confirmed by large clinical studies may have relevant implication for the diagnostic and therapeutic approach at least in a subset of patients with the syndrome.","PeriodicalId":20202,"journal":{"name":"Pituitary","volume":" ","pages":"955-969"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142140847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ability to predict the risk of fracture events is crucial for guiding therapeutic decisions; however, in patients with pituitary diseases, fracture risk estimation is particularly challenging. Compared to primary osteoporosis, the evaluation of bone mineral density by dual X-ray absorptiometry is much less informative about fracture risk. Moreover, the reliability of standard fracture risk calculators does not have strong validations in this setting. Morphometric vertebral assessment is currently the cornerstone in the assessment of skeletal fragility in patients with pituitary diseases, as prevalent fractures remain the strongest predictor of future fracture events. In recent years, new tools for evaluating bone quality have shown promising results in assessing bone impairment in patients with pituitary diseases, but most available data are cross-sectional, and evidence regarding the prediction of incident fractures is still scarce. Of note, apart from measures of bone density and bone quality, the estimation of fracture risk in the context of pituitary hyperfunction or hypofunction cannot ignore the evaluation of factors related to the underlying disease, such as its severity and duration, as well as the specific therapies implemented for its treatment. Aim of this review is to provide an up-to-date overview of all major evidence regarding fracture risk prediction in patients with pituitary disease, highlighting the need for a tailored approach that critically integrates all clinical, biochemical, and instrumental data according to the specificities of each disease.","PeriodicalId":20202,"journal":{"name":"Pituitary","volume":" ","pages":"789-801"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11631825/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142140848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
