Introduction: False memory, that is, remembering events, prohibitions and recommendations that did not happen. This phenomenon has long been known in forensics as it seems to be much more recognized in everyday life. This also applies to patients who could significantly interfere with communication with the doctor and education opportunities. In the face of surprisingly few papers on this subject regarding diabetes, we would like to present our observation.<p class="abstex...

Infrared Thermography (IT) is a non-invasive method and complementary to other diagnostic techniques to identify inhomogeneity of the thermal emission of the skin. We used IT (InfRec R500, Nippon Avionics Co.; 640×480 pixel, spatial resolution 0,87 mrad, sensitivity 0.03°C at 30°C, accuracy ±1°C) to assess the variations of skin temperature of the neck region: higher mean temperature, greater thyroid function. Primary outcome of this study was to compa...

Introduction: Myelolipomas account for 5–15% of all resected adrenal masses and are considered as benign lesions consisting of fat and myeloid tissue. Their pathogenesis is mostly unknown, though altered mesenchymal stem cell function or a sustained respond to increased ACTH stimulation are discussed. Even though these findings are partly inconclusive, an increased incidence of myelolipoma in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) has been reported, which may ...

Objective(s): Last data showed advantages of TBS assessment of bone quality over BMD in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We perform DXA in patients with T2D and calculated 10-year probability of fracture using FRAX® tool.Material and methods: A total of 252 (172 females) T2D patients aged 36 to 86 y.o (mean 61.0±8.8) were examined. BMD was performed in 124 patients (110 females) using DXA (Lunar Prodigy, USA). BMD adjusted for TB...

Background and aims: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) requires daily self-management to mimic endocrine function, using numerical skills such as carbohydrate counting and interpreting nutritional information. Healthcare professionals (HCPs) rely on effective communication to relay information to people with T1DM to enable good self-care. Curricula for diabetes self-management education (DSME) courses require high-school level numerical skills. Eighty percent of adults in the Un...

Background: Network analysis of species abundance across different individuals suggested that the overall structure of the human gut microbiota in each individual conforms to discrete and distinct patterns defined by interactions within community members. This hypothesis was investigated using a dataset of metagenomic sequences from American, European and Japanese individuals. Multidimensional cluster analysis and principal component analysis revealed that all individual sampl...

Introduction: As were previously shown the erythrocytes glucose uptake is impaired in patients with the Diabetes Mellitus, obesity and polycystic ovarian syndrome due to insulin resistance. For further, study whether the erythrocytes glucose uptake will be impaired in rats with experimental metabolic syndrome were observed gradually.Material and methods: The 40 adult white male rats separated into 4 groups. In 10 rats diabetes were induced by injection o...

Background: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HT) increases the risk of pancreatitis, whereas mild HT may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The variety of hypertriglyceridemia origins often makes the etiological diagnosis complex.Case report: A 24-year-old female G3P0Ab2 with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) was referred at 27th week of gestation to the Endocrinology Department in July 2017 for glycemic instability and severe hypertriglyceridemia. T...

Introduction: Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody directed against CTLA-4 used primarily in treatment of malignant melanoma. Immunological side effects are common, amongst others it may lead to hypophysitis. We studied clinical characteristics of IpiH and compared it to cases of primary hypophysitis (PH).Methods: We conducted a retrospective single centre study in 75 hypophysitis patients (60 primary, 15 Ipilimumab-induced in patients with melanoma). Gro...

Laparoscopic surgery of adrenal tumours is widely used because of its high effectiveness, patients safety and relatively low cost. Current indications to adrenalectomy of oncological and endocrinological origin are highly accepted. However there is still lack of perfect clinical tool identifying malignant lesions. In everyday practice clinicians rely on low specific features, especially considering larger nonsecretory lesions to surgery.To show the lands...
