Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Researcher from University Hospital Puerta de Hierro Publishes New Studies and Findings in the Area of Growth Hormone Deficiency (Clinical Management of Postoperative Growth Hormone Deficiency in Hypothalamic-Pituitary Tumors)
2024 AUG 13 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Clinical Oncology Daily -- A new study on growth hormone deficiency is now
Review Description
The present review focuses on growth hormone (GH) deficiency in pediatric and adult patients following surgery for hypothalamic-pituitary tumors, with a special emphasis on hormone replacement therapy with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH). The symptoms and metabolic changes associated with GH deficiency are reviewed, and the potential risks and therapeutic outcomes of rhGH treatment in these patients are discussed. This review emphasizes the importance of rhGH in the normalization of growth in children and the improvement of quality of life (QoL) and metabolic health in adults. Aspects related to efficacy, safety, dosage, duration of treatment, and QoL in this population are analyzed. The need for regular follow-up and dose adjustment to maintain the optimal IGF-I levels in these patients is emphasized, as is the importance of individualized assessment and collaboration with a specialized multidisciplinary medical team to make the appropriate therapeutic decisions. Furthermore, continuous follow-up are necessary to optimize the clinical outcomes in this patient population.
