Topic People Description
Diabetes and heart Riccardo Bonadonna
Cardiovascular risk factors. Echocardiographic study of diastolic dysfunction in diabetes. Kidney disease and mortality in diabetes. Mortality for all the causes and specific causes in diabetes.
Endocrinology, Diabetology and Metabolism Alessandro Mantovani
Giovanni Targher
The major research interest of Prof. Targher's group for >15 years has been the cause and prevention of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its relationships with risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD) and other extra-hepatic complications using clinical epidemiology and health services translational approaches.
Epidemiology, Pathophysiology and Genetics of Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disorders; General Endocrinology Riccardo Bonadonna
The research interests and expertise of dr. M. Dauriz involve four main areas: (1) genetic epidemiology of diabetes and related cardiovascular disorders;(1) epidemiology and pathophysiology of the glucose-insulin system, with particular emphasis on the quantitative estimate of beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity (in vivo and in silico modeling); (3) technology applied to patient care (CSII, Continouos Subcutaneous Insulin Delivery Systems; CGM, Continuous Glucose Monitoring systems), (4) multi-disciplinary integrated approaches to the clinical care of patients with diabetes and cardiovascular disorders (heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, stroke). The clinical interests of dr. Dauriz are mainly devoted to the clinical care of people affected by diabetes and endocrine disorders and to patients admitted to the hospital in a general internal medicine setting.
Endocrinology and Diabetes Riccardo Bonadonna
Paolo Moghetti
Research is focused on different areas of endocrinology (in particular hyperandrogenism, thyroid diseases and adrenal diseases) and diabetes (in particular type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes). The main current research project is the "Verona PCOS Pathophysiology and Phenotype (Verona 3P) Study", which aims at better understanding the pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome, and is characterized by accurate phenotyping of affected women as regards the hallmarks of this condition. In particular, gold standard methods are used in order to assess insulin resistance, androgens and body composition. Another area of current research focuses on the effects of physical activity in diabetes, as well as in other endocrine and metabolic diseases.
Bone and mineral metabolic disease, osteoncology, endocrinology Francesco Bertoldo
The research activities is addressed to the pathophysiology, diagnostics and therapy of the diseases of the mineral metabolism and the metabolic and fragilizing diseases of the skeleton. It is also focused on Osteoncology,based on bone and cancer neoplasia interaction, from CTIBL to the premetastatic niche and the development of bone metastasis and its complications. All these topic are studied in pediatric age, transitional age and adulthood.
