Objectives: The number of reported cases COVID-19 associated subacute thyroiditis (ST) in literature is small thus peculiarities of its clinical features remain the subject of interest. The aim of the review is to share our experience of COVID-19 associated ST.Materials and Methods: We describe 5 cases of COVID-19 associated ST. SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis was based on the presence of its typical symptoms and real-time polymerase chain reaction on nasopharyngea...

Objective: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) are expected to follow numerous dietary recommendations which can be difficult to adhere and that can cause changes in their eating behavior. Few studies have examined prevalence rates eating disorders in adults with type 2 DM despite the fact that DM is highly correlated with overweight and obesity. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of disordered eating behavior in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients receive...

IntroductionGhrelin has an important role in insulin resistance, glucose and lipid metabolism and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is still unclear whether insulin and glucose per se play a direct inhibitory role in ghrelin secretion. The decrease in ghrelin levels after an oral glucose load is modulated by sex, status of obesity, and level of insulin resistance. The aim of our study was to evaluate gender differences in ghrelin levels in type ...

Background: MEN 2b is a highly penetrant disease with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. It includes medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytomas, and multiple mucosal neuromata. The common feature of all of these tumors is a neuroectodermal origin. Although the clinical phenotype is present in all patients, individual manifestations have a variable presentation and are age dependent. Aim.: We report a case of a patient with possible MEN 2b ...

Background and aims: According to the risk factors study for noncommunicable diseases STEPS 2016, carried out under the auspices of the World Health Organization, in 2016–17 years 60.6% Belarusians had overweight (BMI > 25 kg/m2); 25.4% had obese (BMI > 30 kg/m2), and the proportion of women with obesity (30.2%) was 1.5 times higher than men (20.2%). Thus, the project aim was to develop a methodology for group non-drug treatment of overweigh...

According to the current expert recommendations it is advisable to screen microvascular complications: diabetic peripheral polyneuropathy (DPN), diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic nephropathy (DN) in all patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) and disease duration of 5 years. Therefore, the aim of the study was to assess the clinical and laboratory parameters of patients with type 1 diabetes at the age of 30−45 years with duration of the disease 5–15 years, ta...

According to WHO epidemiological data, there are more than 650 million obese people in the world, the medical and social significance of which is determined by the development and aggravation of insulin resistance. Accumulation of experience in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection has demonstrated that obesity and diabetes mellitus are important risk factors affecting the clinical severity of inflammatory disease - for impaired function of β-cells along with ...

According to modern concepts, stress hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) are often found in hospitals and are associated with an increase in complications, length of hospitalization and mortality. The analysis of data on the COVID-19 pandemic indicates a worse prognosis and a high risk of hospital complications in patients with DM.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate clinical and laboratory parameters that can be used to predict an unfavorable ...

Both hyperglycemia and in-hospital hypoglycemia are associated with poor hospital outcomes and increased healthcare costs. The effect of hypoglycemia may be due to the severity of the infectious disease and the high incidence of comorbidity. The aim of the study was to study the possible relationship between the severity, duration and compensation of hyperglycemia with the course of Covid-19.Materials and methods: A retrospective analysi...
