Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is a common endocrine disorder diagnosed biochemically, common use of autoanalyzers increased the incidence of PHP throughout last decades. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy has been preferred to the explorative surgical approach due to shorter operating time, lower complication rate, and smaller incision size. Thus localization studies have become very important. We aimed to investigate clinical and laboratory characteristics of...

Introduction: Radioiodine-resistant thyroid carcinoma is an important milestone in the treatment and follow-up of thyroid cancers. The biological defects of iodine uptake in thyroid cancer cells should be well known. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical and pathological features and SLC5A5 gene expression status of iodine-refractory papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. Material-Method: We studied SLC5A5 expression in 83 papillary thyroid car...

Background: Anxiety level is higher in the samples consisting of people diagnosed with pituitary adenoma, including patients with acromegaly, compared to the normal population. A higher level of anxiety indicates a lower Quality of Life (QoL) in acromegaly. This study aimed to evaluate and discuss the possible relationship between anxiety and NS in people with acromegaly.Method: This cross-sectional comparative study included an acromegaly group (AG, <em...
