Objective: CT findings indicating that a patient is at risk for developing optic neuropathy are worth- while observations.Aim: The aim of our study was to determine the utility of CT imaging in identifying patients at risk for optic neuropathy and to compare quantifiable nonvolumetric CT data from a large series of orbits with Graves ophthalmopathy.Method: A total of 226 patients (452 orbits), 175 women (350 orbits) and 51 men (102...

Adipokines and cytokines have modified values in the metabolic syndrome (MetSyn), without knowing if they are the cause or the effect of insulin resistance. Multiple studies evaluating adipokines and cytokines in MetSyn presented controversial results.The aim of this study was to evaluate adiponectin, leptin, resistin, CRP and TNFα in obese subjects with endocrine diseases that associate insulin resistance before and after a low calorie diet.<p ...
