The aim of this work is to present two patients with vitamin D deficiency and primary HPT.A 51-year old woman (first refer, 2009-jul) was operated for pathohistologically confirmed parathyroid (PT) adenoma seen by ultrasound (US) and scintigraphy (Sc). Patient treated for previous years for hypertension and depression. Calcium (Ca; mmol/l): 3.1; Creatinine (Cre; μmol/l): 67. The results will be shown in following order: pre-/postoperatively, 3rd mon...

Background and aims: The distribution of arterial occlusive disease is not fully explained in diabetes. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of CHD and PAD in diabetic patients complicated by abnormal test of distal autonomic function (Neuropad®) and large fibre neuropathy.Materials and Methods: 237 patients were analysed, M/F 111/126, age (mean±SD) 61.3±9.5years (ys), diabetes duration 16.4±10.6ys., type 1 n=22 (9.3%),...

Background and Aims: The aim of our investigation was to evaluate the relationship between parameters of the metabolic syndroma (MSDR; NCEP/ATPIII Panel) in randomly selected diabetic patients (DM) with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD).Materials and Methods: diabetics, male 680 (49.7%), age (mean+SD) 52.6+14.4yrs. (16–84), were propectively examined using doppler examination and neuropathy disability scoring (NDS). PAOD was confirmed in ...

Introduction: Adult-onset noninsulinoma pancreatogenous hypoglycemia syndrome (NIPHS) associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is a very rare entity. Clinical features of NIPHS are similar to those of insulinoma. Hypoglycemia with neuroglycopenic symptoms presents the main diagnostic condition. NIPHS is often poorly responsive or unresponsive to medical management necessitating surgical intervention with resection of pancreatic tissue.Case report: W...

Acromegaly is associated with cardiovascular diseases. Accelerated atherosclerosis may have important role in that. The aim of this study was to examine the presence of dyslipidemia, glucose control imapairment, inflamation and hypertension as risk factors for the development of atherosclerosis in acromegalic patients.Study group included 28 patients with acromegaly without lesions of thyroid, adrenal and gonadal axis. The examination was performed befor...
