Introduction: Hyperthyroidism during pregnancy is a rare condition and occurs in 0.1–0.4% of all pregnancies. Graves’ Disease and transient gestational thyrotoxicosis constitute the majority of emerging thyrotoxicosis during pregnancy. Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) may also cause temporary hyperthyroidism.Case report: A thirty-three-year-old, 13-week pregnant patients was admitted with fatigue, pain and swelling in thyroid lodge. Thyroid function ...

Aim: It is aimed to evaluate whether arterial stiffness, which is an independent risk indicator for hyperthyroid cardiovascular diseases, is affected by pulse wave analysis (PWA) and to observe changes in patients treated with hyperthyroidism.Methods: A total of 102 volunteers were included in the study (30 in the overt hyperthyroid group, 28 in the subclinical hyperthyroid group and 14 with euthyroidism by antithyroid therapy and 30 healthy). The arteri...

Introduction: This study was designed to determine whether obesity causes inflammation on both conjunctival epithelium cells as well as on squamous metaplasia.Materials and methods: Around 61 volunteer participants who had no previous history of illness or drug use were involved in this study. Of them, nearly 20 were obese, and 41 were of normal weight. We measured the glucose and insulin values for all volunteers. We also measured the Body Mass Index (B...

Aim: Overt/subclinic hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are known to be associated with cardiovascular risks. There have been no studies evaluating the relationship between nodule presence and arterial stiffness in individuals with euthyroid nodular goitre. Our aim in this study is to demonstrate whether nodule presence and nodule stiffness affect arterial stiffness in individuals with euthyroid nodular goitre by using pulse wave analysis (PWA).Materials...
