IntroductionGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) may frequently be overcome by nutrition therapy alone, but insulin regimen may be necessary in about 30 % of the patients with GDM. It was known that thyroid hormones were associated with glucose metabolism. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the association of fT4 level with insulin requirement in euthyroid pregnant women with GDM.Materials and methodsWe consec...

Primary squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid gland (PSCCT) is a rare neoplasm of the thyroid with a poor prognosis. We present a 70-year-old male patient who presented with a progressively growing mass on the left side of the neck causing shortness of breath. The patient presented with suspicious poorly-differentiated malignancy as a result of the thyroid fine-needle aspiration cytology performed due to the rapidly growing mass. No other primary tumor focus was detected in t...

IntroductionLangerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare monoclonal disease characterized by abnormal proliferation and accumulation of bone marrow-derived Langerhans cells in various tissues. Heterogeneous collections of Langerhans cells with neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, histiocytes and Birbeck granules are observed in biopsy materials. Endocrinologic features of LCH are usually due to posterior pituitary involvement. Thyroid infiltration is ...

Aim: In the present study, we aimed to analyze the incidence of diabetic neuropathy (DN) via electrophysiological testing of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients scheduled for laparoscopic diverted sleeve gastrectomy with ileal transposition (DSIT). At a mean of 8 months after surgery, the electrophysiological tests were repeated and differences in electrophysiological parameters were evaluated to investigate the effects of the operation on outcomes related to diabetic neu...

Introduction: Studies investigating the association between serum IGF-1, and thyroid nodule, ovarian or thyroid volume in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) are limited. We aimed to analyze the association between serum IGF-1 level, and ovarian or thyroid volume, or thyroid nodule in PCOS.Materials and methods: The study was performed between June 2017 and August 2019 as prospective design. The patients referred to our medical faculty were included. Adul...
