- Diagnosis and management of acromegaly: a consensus statement of the pituitary study group of the portuguese society of endocrinology, diabetes and metabolismPublication . Cardoso, Luís Miguel; Marques, Pedro; Pereira, Maria Teresa; Agapito, Ana; Almeida, Rui; Amaral, Sara; Cattoni, Maria Begona; Bugalho, Maria João; Cortez, Luísa; Duarte, Diana Borges; Duarte, João Sequeira; Fonseca, Fernando; Gomes, Leonor; Manique, Inês; Marques, Olinda; Martins, Teresa; Oliveira, Maria João; Paiva, Isabel; Pereira, Josué; Santos, Ana Paula; Silva, Vânia Benido; Torres, Isabel; Amaral, Cláudia; Carvalho, DavideAcromegaly is characterised by hypersecretion of growth hormone and presents diagnostic and therapeutic challenges that require consensus and guidelines for effective management. The Pituitary Study Group of the Portuguese Society of Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism used a modified Delphi methodology to develop consensus recommendations for the diagnosis and management of acromegaly. A multidisciplinary panel of experts in acromegaly collaborated through this process to establish consensus-based statements. The authors did not receive any corporate funding or remuneration. The methodology employed to achieve these consensus recommendations included a literature review of specific topics, development of consensus statements, survey and interactive discussions, and a subsequent comprehensive analysis of the results to converge on key consensus statements for diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring strategies. By synthesising the available evidence and integrating expert opinion, this consensus document offers valuable insights for healthcare professionals, facilitating timely diagnosis, personalised treatment strategies developed by multidisciplinary teams, and enhanced patient care.

- How entrepreneurial orientation and stakeholder engagement shape innovation culture at family businessPublication . Martins, Carlos; Monarca, Adélia; Torres, Isabel; Rodrigues, PaulaThe paper aims to verify how the Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) of Family Business (FB), through the Stakeholders Engagement (SE), develops an Innovation Culture (IC) – ideas, learning through try-error and relations network to become sustainable in the long term. The study used a qualitative approach, using sixteen interviews with current managers and other stakeholders from family businesses from different sectors of activity. The results demonstrate that FB need to analyze the current state of their market, as well as its evolution (such as consumer habits and perceived risk), to plan, evolve and innovate upon the perceived changes. A successful FB achieves a positive and effective approach to deal with risk, making use of the know-how and value of employees, and the external community.
