Immunohistochemical subtypes of growth hormone-secreted pituitary adenoma and relationship with the clinical course and seconder malignancy

Akkus Gamze , Cetinalp Ralp , Bagir Emine , Evran Mehtap , Sengoz Sinem , Zorludemir Suzan , Sert Murat , Tetiker Tamer

Purpose: Most of the acromegaly cases are due to agrowth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas of which immunohistochemical subtype seperated as sparsely granulated adenoma (SGA) and densely granulated adenoma (DGA). SGA’s were reported to have more aggressive clinical course and therapy resistance. We investigated our patients for these aspects.Method: Forty (F21, M19) patients with acromegaly who diagnosed and operated for pituitary adenoma at our...

Teriparatide treatment in a patient with resistance hypoparathyroidism

Erkam Sencar Muhammed , Calapkulu Murat , Ozturk Unsal İlknur , Hepsen Sema , Ozbek Mustafa , Cakal Erman

Background: Hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon disorder of calcium metabolism characterized by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and reduced level of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is accidental damage to the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery. There are no formal guidelines for hypoparathyroidism management. The main goal of treatment is to improve the symptoms of hypocalcemia, to keep the serum calcium within the low normal range,...

Expression of ErbB2 in craniopharyngiomas: Possible therapeutic implications

Zuhur Sayid Shafi , Tanik Canan , Velet Selvinaz , Musluman Ahmet Murat , Kabukcuoglu Fevziye , Altuntas Yuksel

Background: Currently, there is no satisfying treatment option other than gross total or subtotal resection in combination with adjuvant radiotherapy for the treatment of craniopharyngiomas. However, recurrence could occur in a substantial proportion of craniopharyngiomas despite gross total resection and radiotherapy. Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2/ErbB2) overexpression was determined in various human carcinomas and is associated with aggressive clinical beha...

N-terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide levels in thyroid dysfunctions

Baser Husniye , Baser Salih , Kirnap Nazli Gulsoy , Sakaci Murat , Gursoy Gul

Introduction: Aminoterminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro BNP) is the inactive degradation product of pro BNP. Thyroid diseases are known to have effect on NT-pro BNP levels. In this study, we aimed to determine possible changes in NT-pro BNP levels in patients with thyroid dysfunctions.Material and method: Fifteen patients with hyperthyroidism, 8 with subclinical hyperthyroidism, 12 with hypothyroidism, 15 with subclinical hypothyroidism and 35...

Borlu Murat , Karaca Zuleyha , Yildiz Hatice , Tanriverdi Fatih , Elbuken Gulsah , Unluhizarci Kursad , Kelestimur Fahrettin

Introduction: Presence of GH receptor in human skin and its appendages suggests a direct effect of GH on skin characteristics. Wet and oily skin due to hyperhidrosis and increased sebum production were described in acromegaly patients.Objective: The aim of the study was to examine the hydration via capacitance, sebum content, transepidermal water loss, pH and temperature of the skin in patients with acromegaly. The data were compared with that of control...

Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of thyroid hemiagenesis: ultrasound screening in patients with thyroid disease and normal population

Gursoy Alptekin , Anil Cuneyd , Unal Asli Dogruk , Nar Asli , Tutuncu Neslihan Bascil , Erdogan Murat Faik

Objective: Thyroid hemiagenesis is a rare form of thyroid dysgenesis, in which one thyroid lobe fails to develop. The true prevalence of this rare abnormality is about 0.05–0.2% in normal population. We aimed to determine prevalence of thyroid hemiagenesis in patients with various thyroid disorders and a normal population in a mild to moderate iodine-deficient area.Subjects and methods: The clinical and thyroid ultrasonography records of 4.833 patie...

The present report describes a patient with APS-3 and pseudomalapsorbtion of levothyroxine (LT4). Twenty-three year old woman was referred to our center with hypothyroidism due to Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) despite the usage of high dose LT4 treatment. HT was d...
