A selection of 2023 studies with impact on clinical practice covers fertility preservation in Klinefelter's syndrome, cardiovascular safety of testosterone replacement therapy, fezolinetant for menopausal vasomotor symptoms, updated European adrenal incidentaloma recommendations, pituitary adenoma prevalence of about 1 per 1000 individuals, and benefit-risk profiles of hyperthyroidism treatments.
Key Findings
Background
Fertility preservation in men with Klinefelter's syndrome was addressed by important studies published in 2023.
The paper identifies this as a significant topic in reproductive endocrinology for 2023.
Klinefelter's syndrome is associated with male infertility, making fertility preservation a key clinical concern.
The studies were selected based on their impact on clinical practice.
Background
The cardiovascular safety of testosterone replacement therapy was examined in important 2023 studies.
This topic was highlighted as having an impact on clinical practice in reproductive endocrinology.
The study was selected among key 2023 publications for its clinical relevance.
Cardiovascular safety represents a major concern in the benefit-risk assessment of testosterone replacement therapy.
Background
Fezolinetant was identified as a novel therapy for vasomotor symptoms of menopause.
Fezolinetant was described as a 'nouvelle thérapie' (novel therapy) for menopausal vasomotor symptoms.
This represents a new therapeutic option in reproductive endocrinology.
The therapy was highlighted among the most clinically impactful studies of 2023.
Background
Updated European recommendations concerning adrenal incidentalomas are expected to considerably modify current clinical practice.
The paper states these updated recommendations 'vont considérablement modifier la pratique clinique' (will considerably modify clinical practice).
The recommendations were published or updated in 2023.
Adrenal incidentalomas represent a common clinical challenge in endocrinology.
Background
The prevalence of pituitary adenomas was confirmed to affect approximately 1 per 1000 individuals.
This prevalence estimate is described as based on 'un travail épidémiologique solide' (solid epidemiological work).
The finding was published in 2023 and selected for its impact on clinical practice.
The prevalence figure of approximately 1 per 1000 individuals represents a confirmed epidemiological benchmark.
Background
A large British study allowed refinement of the benefit-risk profile of the three available options for hyperthyroidism treatment.
The study was described as a 'large étude britannique' (large British study).
Three treatment options for hyperthyroidism are available and were compared in terms of benefit-risk profile.
The study was identified as having a significant impact on clinical practice in endocrinology for 2023.
