Background and aim: Revelation of the incidence of CH is of great value at the background of iodine deficiency (ID) existing in Georgia. Screening on CH in our company with consequent monitoring of the newborns with neonatal hyperthyreotropinemia (NHT) started in September 2010.Materials and methods: During the first year period 70 731 newborns from all over Georgia underwent TSH (mU/l) determination from blood spots, taken at 24–72 h after birth an...

The aim: To reveal relation between altered left ventricular (LV) geometry (G) and contractile ability (CA) in nonbese type 2 diabetic (DM2) patients with mild hypertension (MH).Materials and methods: BP at rest, 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring and echocardiography were investigated in 70 non-obese males, aged 25–50 yrs. They were divided into the following groups: Gr.1, n=15 – DM2 and normal BP, fasting C-peptide (C-p, ng/ml) 4.3±0.9...

Background: Hypophysitis is a rare inflammatory condition of the pituitary gland, speculated to have autoimmune aetiology. The diverse clinical presentations rely on hormonal deficiencies and the pathophysiological impact on the target organs. This condition may give rise to life-threatening complications. MRI is the best imaging modality for diagnosis and the conclusive diagnosis necessitates a biopsy of the affected tissue. The optimal management approach remains a subject o...

An MDT approach to facilitating a workable transition between paediatric and adult services for young people with T1 and T2 diabetes. Management of young people with T2 diabetes is an emerging field that provides new challenges to the healthcare team in enabling young people to live with a lifelong condition that may also be affecting the wider family.

Introduction: Women prescribed hormonal therapies for breast cancer (eg Aromatase Inhibitors (AI) and ovarian suppression therapy (OST)) are at increased risk of fracture and monitoring of Bone Mineral Density (BMD) is needed. Recommendations for BMD monitoring and treatment interval thresholds differ between guidelines which has implications for management. We compared the outcomes from the application of 3 commonly used guidelines for bone health in women wi...

White adipose tissue is a vital endocrine organ required for the storage of energy in the form of triglycerides, which is released in response to nutrient deprivation, and for the production of hormones such as leptin and adiponectin. In this way, adipose tissue is at the forefront of whole organism energy homeostasis. Adipose tissue dysfunction is associated with many metabolic diseases including T2D, cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Adipo...

Regarding the debate about whether we should still ablate all patients undergoing total thyroidectomy, the answer is no. Most thyroid cancer patients have an excellent prognosis with a normal life expectancy and among them most of them have a low risk of recurrence. The absence of ablation in patients with thyroid cancer of 1 centimeter or less (pT1a) is already widely applied, so, we are used not to ablate all thyroid cancer patients treated with total thyroidectomy. The ques...
