We analyzed the results of a survey of 51 patients aged 18 to 25 years who were not exposed to 131I. Patients included in the study had a the first time nodular goiter. The median age of the patient at the time of the diagnosis of nodular goiter was 22.00 (20.32; 23.21) years. Male/female ratio was 1/16. In 23.5% of patients the site was formed against the background of autoimmune thyroiditis, in 76.5% the true nodal formations were...

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) therapy with denosumab.Patients and methods 32 postmenopausal women with established PMOP for a period of 24 months or more received denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously once every 6 months combined with calcium and vitamin D. A quantitative assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) was carried out before treatment, after 12 and 24 months of observation, using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry o...

Given the significant correlation between the indices of lipid metabolism, liver dimensions, glycated hemoglobin and indicators cytolysis of hepatocytes identified a number of predictors that have had a significant influence on the formation of NAFLD. At a BMI above 26.5 kg/m2, the relative risk (RR) for BMI was 20.02 and was statistically significant (8.25÷48.61). When VLDL level above 0.6 mmol/l relative risk for NAFLD also was statistically significant (RR=2...
