Aim: Diabetes and prediabetes become prevalent day by day, likewise their complications are also as important as they are. Lipid profile is also evaluated for cardiovascular diseases which are the major complications of diabetes and prediabetes. Non-HDL cholesterol has begun to be taken as one of the treatment goals, especially in diabetics, with respect to the recent dyslipidemia guidelines. The aim of this study is to compare non-HDL values in women with normal or impaired g...

Introduction and Aim: Thyroid dysfunction is the most common autoimmune endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Autoimmune thyroid disease is related to menstrual irregularities, anovulation and infertility. Thyroid dysfunction is thought to disrupt follicular growth and maturation. Autoimmunity may have a negative effect on fertility, independent of age. The relation between TSH (Thyroid Stimulant Hormone), thyroid antibodies and AMH (anti-mullerian hormone) is a top...

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...

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder whose epidemiologic characteristics regarding the cause, clinical course, acute and chronic complications have not been well defined. There is also a substantial geographic variability regarding those parameters, and country-specific local data is scarce.This study was conducted to assess the baseline characteristics, including the demographics, etiologic distribution, disease severity, medications use...

Introduction: Parathyroid adenoma is the most frequent cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). In recent years minimally invasive surgical techniques have challenged the traditional bilateral neck exploration. There are different imaging techniques for preoperative location of parathyroid adenomas. In this study the authors review the role of Doppler ultrasound focusing on its safety, availability and affordability.Aim: To evaluate the role of Doppl...

Introduction: Simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation remains the best treatment option in type 1 diabetic patients with chronic kidney failure, providing a euglycemic state associated with an improvement on diabetic chronic complications. However, there are only a few studies addressing the potential ischemic deterioration of peripheral arterial disease, due to blood diverting from the iliac artery to the kidney graft.Aim: Evaluate diabetic foot le...

Introduction: Malignant or necrotizing external otitis (MEO) is an invasive infection between external auditory canal and skull base. It is more frequent in elderly and in diabetic patients or with compromised immune system. As MEO advance osteomyelitis can developed. It is a severe and potential mortal complication of external otitis (EO).Clinical case: 78 years old man with history of type2 diabetes (good metabolic control) and right ear external otiti...

Introduction: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is a systemic vasculitis with necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Any organ including the pituitary can be involved. Here we report a patient diagnosed with GPA who had nearly complete resolution of pituitary mass after cyclophosphamide and methylprednisolone treatment.Case46 year old female patient was admitted to the hospital after being examined by several departments for ...

IntroductionExtramedullary hematopoiesis (EMH) refers to hematopoiesis occurring outside the bone marrow. Pathologic EMH can be caused by thalassemias or disorders in the hematopoietic system. Sites of EMH can be widespread however, most common localizations are in the spleen, liver, and lymph nodeCase reportA 22-year-old male patient was referred to the endocrinology department for bilateral adrenal masses f...
