Aim: İmpaired glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinism/insulin resistance frequently accompany by acromegaly. NLO (Neutrophile lymphocyte ratio) is demonstrated as a simple indicator of systemic inflammation and it is also known that NLO is associated with atherosclerosis progression in coronary artery and a risk factor in coroner artery disease. In this study, we intend to search the association between both coronary atherosclerosis seen frequently in patients diagnosed wi...

Aim: The lipid accumulation product (LAP) index which is associated with abnormal glucose regulation can be easily calculated. Women with polycystic ovary syndrome have more than one risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases such as glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and abdominal lipoidosis. In this study, we intend the evaluation of LAP index in women with PCOS.Method: This study included 35 women patients with PCOS (mean age 22.4...

Aim: In a previous study, we demonstrated elevated mean platelet volume in isolated hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism (IHH) is associated with high cardiovascular risk. Monocyte count/HDL-cholesterol ratio (MHR) is a new inflammatory marker showing cardiovascular risk. The purpose of this study is to evaluate (MHR) in men with hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism.Method: This study includes 31 men with isolated hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism without previous trea...

Aim: The risk of cardiovascular mortality is high in patients with acromegaly. In this study, we intent to evaluate serum lipid profile in patients newly diagnosed with acromegaly and determine its association with increased growth hormone (gh) and insulin like growth factor-1 (igf-1) levels.Material and method: This study includes 57 patients newly diagnosed with acromegaly in our hospital (mean age 44.1±13.8 years; mean bmi 29.6±5.4 kg/m...

Purpose: Papillary and follicular cancers are classified as differentiated thyroid cancers. Recently, it has been revealed that Neutrophile/lymphocyte ratio (NLO) and the ratio of monocyte/lipoprotein cholesterol with high density (MHR) are the strong indicators of oxidative stress and systemic inflammation. In this study, we intend the evaluation of all these indicators in our patients diagnosed with differentiated thyroid cancers.Method: This study inc...

Purpose: The association between differentiated thyroid cancers and autoimmune thyroid diseases is well known. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the importance of thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO) and thyroglobulin antibody (Anti-Tg) in patients followed with the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis regarding the development of differentiated thyroid cancer.Methods: A total of 56 patients including 22 Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients oper...
