Purpose: Somatotrophinomas have been shown to demonstrate T2-weighted signal intensity (WSI) on MRI that is correlated with clinicopathological findings and response to treatment. Therefore, we aimed to investigate these correlations in functional pituitary adenomas, including prolactinoma and corticotrophinoma. Material and MethodsPatients with somatotrophinoma (n=87), prolactinoma (n=78) and corticotrophinoma (n=33) were invo...

Propylthiouracil (PTU) is a widely used drug, and can cause drug-induced vasculitis which is characterized by inflammation and cellular infiltration of small vessels and presence of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA). We report a case of perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis developed during treatment with PTU for Graves’ disease. A 58-year-old woman admitted to the Emergency Department with painful necrotic lesion at her right e...

Backgrounds and aims: We aimed to determine final status of carbohydrate (CHO) intolerance of women with GDM who were followed between 3 months and 10 years after delivery.Materials and methods: Two hundred and fourty participants with GDM history were enrolled into study and divided into two groups. [Group I: 40 women (38.0±6.3 years) who had delivery before 11±2 years ago, Group II: 200 women (34.0±5.1 years) who had delivery within 3&#1...

Introduction: Pregnant women with pre-existing diabetes are at greater risk of perinatal morbidity and diabetic complications. Glycemic control is the greatest impotance for both mothers and infants due to the risk of congenital anomalies, perinatal mortality and significant morbidity in the short and long term. Continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) is a novel tool to assess 24-h glucose fluctuations. In pregestational diabetes, CGMS may have an important role for excell...
