We evaluated 341 postmenopausal women, aged 29–84 years (mean age 58.18±9.01) and referred to the Center for Osteoporosis starting December 2013. Secondary causes of osteoporosis/bone loss and patients under antiosteoporotic medication or under vitamin D substitution were excluded from the study. All patients performed DXA measurement (Dexxum T, Osteosys, Inc., South Korea) (same expert). FRAX and 25 HO vitamin D levels were determined. We defined vitamin D deficienc...

The prevalence of solid thyroid nodules is very high in the general population. Appropriate selection of cases for surgery is the most important task, when evaluating nodules. The present study wants to see if the use of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) could decrease the number of needed FNAB procedures.Material and method: 174 nodules evaluated by conventional ultrasound and real time elastography, with linear multifrequency probe, Hi...

Objectives: The cases described in the literature, with postpartum and lactation osteoporosis, are very rare.Material: A case report: 28 years old women, that give birth to a 3250 g weight term child, APGAR 10, breast feeding period: 3 months, with acute back pain starting the 2nd months after delivery. On the moment our evaluation she resumed breastfeeding.3 months after delivery she came in our office with diagnosed acut...

Objectives: We evaluated the diagnostic power of different used evaluation criteria in ultrasound 2B, Doppler and elastography.Method: Retrospective data analyses of all cases with breast lumps, that were evaluated and also operated during the study follow-up period. Study period: January 2011–April 2013 (Table 1).Ductal breast ultrasound, Doppler and real-time elastography was performed with a HITACHI EUB 7500 HV machine, wit...

Premilinary: The incidence of thyroid disease in cases operated for hyperparathyroidism is 2.5–17.6%. The coexistence of thyroid and parathyroid nodules makes FNAB difficult in technique but also in cytology diagnosis. Scintigraphy, unless performed with Tc SESTA MIBI, might give unclear informations.Material: From series of 36 operaed cases with renal secondary and tertiary hyperparathiroidism, we identified four cases with concomitant thyroid papi...

Introduction: Morgagni-Stewart-Morel syndrome is a disorder defined by the presence of internal frontal hyperostosis, variably associated with metabolic disorders, endocrine and neuropsychiatric disorders. Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a morphological change of the frontal bone like a single or multiple bilateral nodules on the inner lamina, characteristically sparing the diploë and the midline calvaria.Case presentation: We present a 61-y...

Objective: Thyrotoxicosis have received wide attention from researchers over the last century as it an important cause of secondary osteoporosis. Most of the cases present mild osteoporosis.Design: We present the case of a old women (77 years) with no thyroid disease in medical history, only with stable hypertension and artrosis. She was sent to endocrine exam by the oncologyst because she started to have intense lumbal painand the MRI describe osteoliti...

Introduction: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) represent a group of diseases in steroid biosynthesis, due to an enzyme lack in the transformation of cholesterol to cortisol. Women with menstrual dysfunction responds well to adrenocortical inhibition with prednisone, and the significant improvement of menstrual regularity is frequently noted. We report a case of successful pregnancy in a patient with CAH for the first time.Case presentation: A 35-year...

Background: The relationship between energy balance and reproduction is U-shaped, meaning that both a negative and a positive energy balance have a detrimental effect on reproductive function. In a world increasingly burdened by the growing prevalence of obesity, we turned our attention to the negative extremity of weight, by exploring anorexia nervosa (AN) and constitutional thinness (CT) metabolic and reproductive features. Kisspeptin (kiss-1) is a relatively recently discov...

Objectives: Hyperthyroidism in pregnancy presents a challenge for medical doctor, patient and products of conception.Aim of the study: To specify the peculiarities of expression of hyperthyroidism in pregnant women, diagnosis, monitoring, treatment, prognosis of pregnancy and effect on the fetus.Materials and methods: The study included a total of 27 women with hyperthyroidism of which 15 (group A) had thyrotoxicosis before concept...
