Herein, we report two cases of patients with PHPT and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).Case 1: A 55-year-old woman received a diagnosis of PHPT during investigation of her anemia. (Ca: 11.4 mEq/l, PTH: 256 pg/ml, urinary calcium: 960 mg/day). Thyroid function tes...

The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of celiac disease and other autoimmune diseases like thyroiditis, pernicious anemia and adrenal failure among adult patients with T1DM.Methods/design: Sixty-nine, asymptomatic patients...
