IntroductionThyroid diseases affect a large population worldwide and total thyroidectomy (TT) is the most common curative treatment [1]. Recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) lesions are the most dangerous complication [1]. The intraoperative neuromonitoring (NIM) is a useful tool in reducing the incidence of nerve injury, but a preoperative examinations of vocal cords function through flexible fiberoptic laryngoscopy (FFL) is recommended [1]. FFL is uncomfort...

Osteoporosis is a pandemic chronic non communicable disease, with worldwide expansion. This condition and the resulting bone fracture are a maor cause of disability and mortality for millions of people worlwide. Frax is an algoritm that relies on a questionnaire for the prediction of bonefracture. This algoritm it is called Frax and it’s estimates the probability in % to have a fracture in the following 10 years. The aim of the study was to evaluate whether patients lifes...

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis on a sample of postmenopausal women (n=88, aged 66±5 years) attending the osteoporosis outpatient service of our University Hospital between September and October 2023. All patients underwent physical examination and Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (GE HealthCare-Lunar) scans at lumbar spine and hip level. 10-years risk of major osteoporotic fracture was assessed with the FRAX® algorithm. Level of physical activity was ...

BackgroundDiabetic nephropathy complicated by albuminuria along with low estimated glomerular filtrate rate (eGFR) are a typical feature of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and it’s related to a significant increase in mortality and chronic complications in diabetic patients However, data from the literature are still not conclusive regarding the direct association between albuminuria and risk of amputation for ischemic limb vascular disease, in diabetic patie...
