Diabetes mellitus as an important comorbidity in patient with sepsis

Puca Entela , Puca Edmond , Ylli Agron , Pipero Pellumb

Sepsis represents the host’s systemic inflammatory response to a severe infection. It is a common condition in hospital settings and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Since1992 the knowledge about sepsis epidemiology has clearly improved. There are differences in epidemiologic data about sepsis identification in different countries. The aim of our study is to make a panoramic view of sepsis at the service of Infectious Diseases, University Hospital...

Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) is found in a high proportion of resected thyroid specimens. There has been considerable controversy as to whether having HT predisposes a patient to papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and conflicting data have been reported with regard to HT and risk of malignancy. The aim of this study was to evaluate coexistence of PTC with HT.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study done at American Hospital 2 from April 2011...

Evaluation of routine basal serum calcitonin measurement for an early diagnosis of medullary thyroid carcinoma

Puca Entela , Koza Kadir Burak , Huti Emiljana , Bitri Sonila , Daka Albana , Puca Edmond , Ylli Agron

Background: Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is characterised by a high concentration of serum calcitonin. Routine measurement of serum calcitonin concentration has been advocated for detection of MTC among patients with nodular thyroid diseases. The aims of our study were to identify medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) in its earliest stages by screening patients with basal calcitonin measurements and to determine whether basal serum calcitonin measurements should be a part of ou...
