    Description / Table of Contents: Sommario Riportiamo il caso di un paziente di 18 anni affetto da una displasia fibrosa dell'osso con varie anomalie endocrine. Gli esami ormonali rivelarono alti livelli di prolattina, TSH e GH e bassi livelli di testosterone e LH. I test al TRH ed al GnRH mostrarono una normale risposta ipofisaria nonostante gli alti livelli basali di alcuni ormoni. I ritmi circadiani erano conservati. Gli esami neuroradiologici effettuati (TAC, stratigrafia della sella e cisternografia con metrizamide) non rivelarono alcun segno sicuro di adenoma ipofisario se non la probabile erosione del pavimento della sella segnalato dalla stratigrafia. I nostri dati sono in accordo con la presenza di un adenoma misto dell'ipofisi e di più adenomi. In conclusione segnaliamo l'importanza di un corretto studio neurologico e neuroendocrino della displasia fibrosa dell'osso particolarmente in quella a localizzazione cranica.
    Notes: Abstract An 18 year old man with fibrous dysplasia of bone and several endocrine abnormalities was investigated. Laboratory tests showed high levels of prolactin, TSH and GH and low levels of testosterone and LH. TRH and GnRH showed normal responsiveness of the pituitary in spite of the high hormonal levels. The circadian rhythms disclosed no abnormalities of hypothalamic control. The neuroradiological study revealed pathological tissue but no positive sign of a pituitary adenoma, although the sella turcica polytomograms did suggest erosion of the floor. Our data are compatible with the presence of a mixed adenoma or adenomas of the pituitary. We emphasize the importance of a correct study, including neuroradiological and neuroendocrine investigations, in patients with fibrous dysplasia of bone.

    Notes: Abstract Objective. To investigate factors that influence length of stay (LOS) in patients hospitalized for transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). This may help to reduce unnecessary days of hospitalization. Design. Retrospective study. Setting. A large, non-academic general hospital. Patients. All patients hospitalized for TIAs during the year 1996–1998 were retrospectively studied. We analyzed the relationship between demographic, clinical and management features and LOS. Results. We studied 157 patients. Median LOS was 8 days (range, 1 to 21 days). Statistical analysis showed that female sex, being hospitalized in 1996, hospitalization from Wednesday through Saturday, and second-level cardiological, neuroradiological and miscellaneous investigations significantly increased LOS. Conclusions. The LOS of patients with TIAs may be reduced through measures that accelerate the diagnostic work-up and by scheduling the admission to the first days of the week, when this is possible.
