Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate thyroid functions, thyroid antibody positivity, thyroid ultrasonography (US) findings and prevalence of thyroid cancer in patients with colon cancer and benign colon polyps. Also, we aimed to compare prevalence of thyroid diseases in two groups.Materials and methods: Fifty-seven patients with colon cancer and 50 patients with colon polyps were included in the study. All patients were evaluated with thyroid US and ...

Aim: Radioactive treatment after surgery forms the basis of treatment of differentiated thyroid cancers (DTC) and also used as permanent theraphy of hyperthyroidism. Iodide is being transported into the thyrocytes by the NIS system that located on the thyrocytes’ cell membran. NIS system also has been shown at the gastric mucosa. In this study we proposed to analyse the effect of low and high dose radio-iodine treatment on Helicobacter pylori eradication.<p cla...

Introduction: Measles virus infections generally occur in childhood, but infections in adolescence and adulthood can lead to complications.Case report: A previously well 28-year-old woman had suffered from nausea, vomiting and generalized fatique for one day before being transferred to our emergency department in a confused state. A diagnosis of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) complicated by ketoacidosis was made based on markedly decreased serum C-peptid...

In prolactinomas, today first choice of treatment is medical treatment with dopamine agonists. Cavernous sinus invasion is not uncommon in prolactinomas and stands out as a blocking factor for surgical removal of the tumor fully. In our study, the presence of cavernous sinus invasion was to investigate the effect on the results of surgical and medical treatment in prolactinomas.Eighty-seven patients followed up with a diagnosis of prolactinoma were inclu...

Prolactinomas are more common tumors by 60% among the hypophysis adenomas. These are often benign, but may present differences in terms of tumor size and treatment responses. Aim of this study was investigate the relationship of serum prolactin levels with tumor size and invasiveness in the prolactinomas.113 patients with the diagnosis of prolactinoma were included to study. Pretreatment plasma levels of prolactin in the time of diagnosis and sella MR im...

Cycline D1 gene that plays a crucial role in a cell cycle, have been shown to be expressed more in nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas and functioning invasive pituitary adenomas compared to normal hypophisis tissue and noninvasive pituitary adenomas. A/G polymorphism in CyD1 gene exon 4/intron 4 regions have been demonstrated to affect clinical outcomes and survey in some tumors. Objective of this study was to investigate the effect of polymorphism of cycline D1 gene on the tum...

Majority of prolactinomas consists of the small microadenomas that can be treated with dopamine agonists, but they can present different biological behavior features and not infrequently seen as macroadenomas or in giant adenoma size. There are different results on finding of studies which investigate the relationship between high levels of cell proliferation indicators with tumor behavior in pituitary adenomas. In this study, Ki 67 index to investigate the relationship betwee...

Introduction: Hyalinizing trabecular adenomas (HTA) of the thyroid is an unusual disorder. HTA can be present as a thyroid nodule or incidental finding in a thyroidectomy specimen. Most behave as benign neoplasms, but their cytological features can be similar to those of papillary thyroid carcinoma.Case report: A 68 year old woman admitted to our institution with a solitary thyroid nodüle. Her serum free thyroxine (fT4), free triiodothyro...
