Metabolic disorders during pregnancy and postpartum cardiometabolic risk.

abstract：INTRODUCTION AND AIM:Ectopic ACTH secretion (EAS) is mostly secondary to thoracic/abdominal neuroendocrine tumours (NETs), or small cell-lung carcinoma (SCLC). We studied the diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography (CT) with 68Ga-Dota derivatives (68Ga-SSTR) positron emission tomography (PET) in localizing ACTH-secr...
