Although PI3K inhibitors raised concern about the alteration of glucose and lipid metabolism from animal studies, human clinical data have been rarely reported.Aim: We investigated the clinical manifestations, incidence of diabetes and its predictive factors in cancer patients who treated with PI3K inhibitors.<p class=...

Objective: Having a psychiatric disorder may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and we aimed to determine whether young adults with a psychiatric disorder have an increased risk of developing T2D.Research Design and Methods: We conducted a nationwide cohort study to evaluate the association of different psychiatric disorders with the risk of T2D in the young population. Records of 6.457.991 adults aged 20−39 years without a histo...

Background: Early detection of residual or recurrent cancer in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is important, especially, when they do not uptake 131I uptake because these tumors do not likely benefit from radioiodine therapy (RAIT). We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of FDG-PET/CT as an early diagnostic work up in DTC patients with negative radioiodine whole body scan (I-WBS) and elevated stimulated Tg (sTg) levels.Methods: ...
