Dynamics of HbA1c and glycemia in OGTT during pregnancy in healthy women

Mladenovic Violeta , Andjelkovic Marija , Gluvic Zoran , Mitrovic Milena

Introduction: Some physiological changes in HbA1c during pregnancy should be considered to determine its optimal value for glycemic control. Erythrocytes half-life decreases during pregnancy, which is reflected in a decrease in HbA1c.Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse HbA1c during pregnancy in healthy population of pregnant woman. Matherial and methods: The study included 77 pregnant women in the first trimester registered in Center for endocrinolo...

Lipid parameters during pregnancy

Mladenovic Violeta , Andjelkovic Marija , Gluvic Zoran , Mitrovic Milena , Macut Djuro

Introduction: The basic characteristics of metabolism in pregnancy are changes from anabolic to catabolic conditions with an increase in insulin resistance, moderate, reversible increase in lipid concentration in the blood, and accumulation of fat stores in the mother’s tissues. Lipid metabolism is essential for the development of healthy pregnancy, and fatty acids are a significant source of energy and a key element for membrane synthesis, while cholesterol, in addition ...

Variation of parameters of thyroid function during pregnancy

Mladenovic Violeta , Andjelkovic Marija , Gluvic Zoran , Mitrovic Milena

Introduction: The basic characteristics of metabolism in pregnancy are changes from anabolic to catabolic conditions. During early gestation, the fetus is dependent on maternal thyroid hormones that cross the placenta. Thyroid disease in pregnancy is a common clinical problem, at least 2–3% of women have thyroid dysfunction. Pre-conceptual education and appropriate diagnosis and treatment of thyroid dysfunction in early pregnancy are of great importance, with the aim of ...

Interleukin-6 and TNF-alpha in hemodilaysis patients: association with obesity and metabolic syndrome

Rasic Z , Perunicic G , Gluvic Z , Tica J , Pavicevic M

Recent studies revealed that the elevated tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) serum levels were associated with body fat, especially visceral adiposity, in obese healthy subjects. We investigated the relationship between circulating TNF-alpha and IL-6, parameters of body fatness, and the metabolic syndrome in chronic renal failure maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods: We explored the relationships between fatness and vis...

Thyroid function in relation to pregnancy outcome

Mladenovic Violeta , Andjelkovic Marija , Gluvic Zoran , Djukic Aleksandar , Macut Djuro

Introduction: Thyroid disease in pregnancy is a common clinical problem, at least 2–3% of women have thyroid dysfunction, and it is estimated that about 5–20% of women of reproductive age suffer from autoimmune thyroid disease. Subclinical thyroid disease during pregnancy may be associated with adverse outcomes. In the first trimester, the ‘normal’ range for TSH is reduced to 0.1–2.5 mIU/l, and in the second and third trimester is 3.0 mIU/l.<p clas...

A case report of a single patient with a dual-functioning incidental adrenal tumor

Lackovic Milena , Samardzic Vladimir , Joksimovic Bojan , Sinik Marija , Tomasovic Martina , Isenovic Esma R. , Gluvic Zoran

Introduction: An undefined lesion detected by imaging methods in one or both adrenals is known as an incidentaloma. The size and capacity of the secretion are evaluated to determine its definitive management. It is extremely uncommon for a mixed adrenal incidentaloma to appear with elevated cortisol and medullar hormone output.Case report: A 21-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with intermittent palpitations, headaches, and chest pain. She was ...

Pregnancy outcome in relation to a disorder of glucose tolerance during pregnancy

Mladenovic Violeta , Nesic Jelena , Andjelkovic Marija , Gluvic Zoran , Djukic Aleksandar , Macut Djuro

Introduction: Pregnancy as a state of insulin resistance can predict diabetes development in some women, and is associated with increased risk for adverse outcome of neonate and for mother.Aim: The aim of this study is to analyse pregnancy outcome in relation to a disorder of glucose tolerance during pregnancy.Matherial and methods: The study included 77 healthy pregnant women in third trimester registered in Center for endocrinolo...

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis in young Caucasian

Simovic Nikola , Gluvic Zoran , Rasic-Milutinovic Zorica , Tica Jelena , Popovic-Radinovic Vesna , Vujovic Marina , Lackovic Milena

Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is uncommon complication of Graves’ disease mainly observed in young males of Asian origin. It is rarely seen among white hyperthyroid patients (0.1–0.2%), usually presented as lower extremities muscle weakness of sudden onset, probably cause by hypokalemia. Possible mechanism of hypokalemia is an increased sodium–potassium–adenosine triphosphatase pump activity with consequent massive shift og potassium from extracellula...

The usable markers of atherosclerosis measured by Doppler Ultrasound of lower limb artery in treatment- naive hypothyroid females

Gluvic Z. , Tica J. , Rasic-Milutinovic Z. , Vujovic M. , Popovic-Radinovic V. , Lackovic M. , Isenovic E.

Background: It has been shown that hypothyroidism is associated with atherosclerosis. The presence of atherosclerosis process could be registered by use of some Doppler Ultrasound parameters (DUP) – intima-media complex thickness (IMCT) and systolic velocity (SV). In this study we present initial DUP on the lower limb artery in treatment-naïve hypothyroid females and the influence of thyroid hormone levels and some metabolic components.Methods ...

Body composition and bone mineral density in hemodialysis patients

Rasic-Milutinovic Zorica , Perunicic-Pekovic Gordana , Stojanovic Olivera , Tica Jelena , Popovic Vesna , Vujovic Marina , Gluvic Zoran

Aim/hypothesis: Chronic renal failure maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients are at risk for low bone mineral density (BMD) and fractures. Parathyroid hormone (iPTH) plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of uremic bone disease, but in healthy population body weight and particularly body composition are more important determinants of bone mass.Patients and methods: We studied BMD (results were recorded as g/cm2) and T score using D...
