Thyroid differentiated carcinomas are of good prognosis except in case of metastatic dissemination. These distant metastasis, especially the bone one, are a major cause of altered quality of life and death. This study concerns a cohort of 21 patients treated from 1995 to 2011.The aim of our work is to study the characteristics of patients who had bone metastases in association with thyroid cancer to determine their prognostic factors. 18 of our patients were ...

IntroductionDifferentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most common thyroid cancer with a relatively high survival rate. Distant metastasis (DM) is not a frequent event in DTC but has an adverse impact on mortality of patients.PurposeThe aim of this study was to determine the most frequent metastases and their prognosis after adequate treatment.MethodsA retrospecti...

IntroductionDifferentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is a rare disease (1%), and usually has good prognosis if well treated. However, the percentage of mortality due to this cancer is about 0.5%. Moreover, 5 to 27%of patients treated for DTC suffer from regional recurrence. Therefore, many research tried to identify predective factors for the survival, relapse and progression of this cancer.PurposeThe aim of our s...

IntroductionType 1 Diabetes (T1D) diagnosed during adulthood is a form of diabetes which is underdiagnosed and underreported. Lower incidence of cardio metabolic risk factors such as atherogenic dyslipidemia, high blood pressure and obesity have been reported in T1D patients compared to type 2 diabetes. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of and predictive factors for macrovascular complications during T1D diagnosed in adulthood.<p cl...

IntroductionObesity is a social scourge. Masked arterial hypertension (HTAM) is a relatively recently described entity that poses a diagnostic problem and places the patient with it at an increased risk of cardiovascular events. In this context we report a prospective study of 50 patients to determine the prevalence and predictive factors of HTAM.MethodsDescriptive study of obese patients treated in the Endoc...
