Acromegaly is a rare disease associated with hypersecretion of growth hormone due to adenoma of somatotroph cells in the pituitary gland, with elevated morbidity and mortality. Acromegaly and thyroid diseases show high co-occurrence. In our study; we aimed to determine the relationship between disease activity at the time of admission and after treatment with the presence of goiter, presence of nodules, and possible accompanying thyroid malignancy in 119 patients with acromega...

Introduction: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a peptide-based hormone that controls the level of ionized calcium in blood and extracellular fluids. Hemostasis is regulated by the balance between natural stimulants and inhibitors on platelet functions. Disruption of the balance between inhibitor and stimulants leads to thrombosis or bleeding. There are studies on the association of hyperparathyroidism with thrombotic disease. Thromboelastography is a method of evaluating the whole...

Aim: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) suppression treatment may have a detrimental effect on bone tissue in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients. The current study aimed to investigate vertebral fracture, bone mineral density measurements, and TSH levels in DTC patients under levothyroxine (LT4) suppression treatment after total thyroidectomy and/or radioiodine ablation therapy in a multicentric setting.Material and Method: This multicentric cro...
