    (Pontifícia Universidade Católica de Campinas, 2002-09-01) Mantoanelli, Graziela [UNIFESP]; Vitalle, Maria Sylvia de Souza [UNIFESP]; Amancio, Olga Maria Silverio [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The female participation in sports has been increasing over the years. Scientific studies have shown the benefits this practice brings to women's health, but, when it comes to competitive sports, problems may arise. The most common complication described by the literature is the Female Athlete Triad, which involves three processes: the eating disorder, the amenorrhea, and the osteoporosis. In the United States, the amenorrhea afflicts up to 66% of the competition athletes, and some of its possible causes of are: weight loss, excessive training, insufficient quantity of body fat, loss of specific stores of body fat, and inadequate diet. As a consequence of the amenorrhea, the sportswoman may develop precocious osteoporosis. It is not known for sure the percentage of athletes with osteopenia, but there are indications that the lack of estrogen, the inadequate diet, and the insufficient consumption of calcium are factors predisposing them to develop the disease.

    (Academia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEURO, 2002-03-01) Tella Jr, Oswaldo Inácio [UNIFESP]; Herculano, Marco Antonio; Delcelo, Rosana [UNIFESP]; Aguiar, Paulo Henrique; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Faculdade de Medicina de Jundiaí Disciplina de Neurocirurgia; Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    We report our experience with 38 cases of prolactin secreting pituitary adenomas. The adenomas were divided in three different groups. The adenomas producing only prolactin tend to be microadenoma and they show the typical alterations of this type of tumor. The GH-PRL, GH-alpha subunit, the other combinations, and the pluri hormonal adenomas tend to present with visual symptoms. The treatment of the prolactinomas is initially clinical and the surgical indication for this type of adenomas is related to intolerance to the medication or to visual alterations. Surgical result with total resection of the tumor was possible in 50% of the cases.
