Insulinoma is generally a rare benign tumor of the pancreas islet cell. The typical clinical symptom of insulinoma are repetitive hypoglycemia attacks. Insulinoma with coexisting diabetes is extremely rare condition, We aim to present a case with insulinoma conmomittant with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Case report: A 65-year-old woman diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus was admitted by our internal medicine clinic. She complained from perspiration and t...

Introduction: The effects of sex steroids on lymphocytes count and functions are well known and it is propounded that autoimmune diseases more common in women. NLO index is an indicator of inflammative situation. In this study, it has been aimed that neutrophil/lymphocytes ratio (NLO) calculation by determining neutrophil/lymphocytes values in patients who diagnosed as hypogonadotropic hypogodanism and searching that whether there is significant difference between healthy grou...

Aim: İmpaired glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinism/insulin resistance frequently accompany by acromegaly. NLO (Neutrophile lymphocyte ratio) is demonstrated as a simple indicator of systemic inflammation and it is also known that NLO is associated with atherosclerosis progression in coronary artery and a risk factor in coroner artery disease. In this study, we intend to search the association between both coronary atherosclerosis seen frequently in patients diagnosed wi...

Introduction: Neutrophil lymphocyte rate (NLO), which is obtained from peripheric blood and used as mathematical rates of lymphocyte numbers, is accepted as available and practical indicator of systemic inflammation existence. We aimed to search NLO between Hashimoto’s thyroids patients who have autoimmune thyroid and also include an aetiopathogenesis auto-inflammatory process, and healthy control group with this study.Method: 59 patients who have b...

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder that affects women of reproductive age. Clinical and biochemical characteristics are similar to metabolic syndrome. Insulin resistance in patients with metabolic syndrome, is associated with serum uric acid levels. In our study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid levels and clinical and laboratory in PCOS patients.Materials and Method: PCOS ...

Objective: To investigate the level of 25(OH) vitamin D (25(OH)D) and correlation between 25(OH)D level and hormonal-biochemical parameters in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Materials and methods: Thirty-three patients diagnosed with PCOS and 42 age and BMI matched control group admitted to Erzurumm Regional Training and Research Hospital from May to October were included in the study. Serum total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (fT), 25(OH)D, DHE...

Aim: The risk of cardiovascular mortality is high in patients with acromegaly. In this study, we intent to evaluate serum lipid profile in patients newly diagnosed with acromegaly and determine its association with increased growth hormone (gh) and insulin like growth factor-1 (igf-1) levels.Material and method: This study includes 57 patients newly diagnosed with acromegaly in our hospital (mean age 44.1±13.8 years; mean bmi 29.6±5.4 kg/m...

Purpose: The association between differentiated thyroid cancers and autoimmune thyroid diseases is well known. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the importance of thyroid peroxidase antibody (anti-TPO) and thyroglobulin antibody (Anti-Tg) in patients followed with the diagnosis of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis regarding the development of differentiated thyroid cancer.Methods: A total of 56 patients including 22 Hashimoto’s thyroiditis patients oper...
