Purpose: The purpose of this study were to evaluate the relation thyroid autoimmunity and euthyroid hashimoto thyroiditis in patients diagnosed with pituitary adenoma and association of pituitary adenoma with clinical and laboratory findingsMaterials and methods: The retrospective study population included a total of 230 participants. A total of 189 patients (67 with prolactinoma, 35 with acromegaly, 4 with cushing disease and 83 with non-functional pitu...

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between menopausal women and the thiol/disulphide balance, used as a marker of oxidative stress, by measuring that exchange using a novel technique.Methods: Fourty five postmenopausal subject and 39 healthy participant were included in the study.Results: We found that in postmenopausal group, disulphide (P=0.04), disulphide/native thiol (P=0.004)...

Aim and objective: Mucormycosis is a rare life-threatening fungal infection. Immunocompromised patients are often affected. We report a rare diabetic patient with pancreatic adenocarcinoma who was presented diabetic ketoacidosis and rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis.Case presentation: A 66 years old man with pancreatic adenocarcinoma and type 2 diabetes mellitus was presented diabetic ketoacidosis and severe infection of the facial sinuses, orbita, and ...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation polycystic ovarian syndome (PCOS) and the thiol/disulfide balance, used as a marker of oxidative stress, by measuring that exchange using a novel technique.Material/methods: Fourty nine subjects diagnosed with PCOS and 44 healthy were included in the study. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis concentrations were measured by a newly developed method. After native thiol, total thiol and disulfide leve...

Insulinoma is generally a rare benign tumor of the pancreas islet cell. The typical clinical symptom of insulinoma are repetitive hypoglycemia attacks. Insulinoma with coexisting diabetes is extremely rare condition, We aim to present a case with insulinoma conmomittant with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Case report: A 65-year-old woman diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus was admitted by our internal medicine clinic. She complained from perspiration and t...

Introduction and aims: It is known that obesity is associated with retinal microvascular changes. Optical coherence tomography (OCT), a new imaging technique, is used to visualize the choroid. In addition, OCT can also give more beneficial information about systemic and eye diseases. We aim to investigate whether or not obesity may impact on choroid and macula thickness.Material and methods: Forty-four subjects who were apply for obesity in our Endocrino...

Introduction and aim: The metabolic changes of lipid profiles in prolactinoma treated with cabergoline are not completely clarified. The aim of this preliminary study is to evaluate changes of lipid profile in both of patients with functional hyperprolactinemia and prolactinoma before and after cabergoline treatment.Materials and methods: Twelve patients with prolactinoma who were treated with cabergoline (mean age 33.8±7.6 years and body mass index...

Introduction and aim: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a new important indicator of platelet activity in atherosclerosis. Elevated MPV is associated with the presence of more metabolically active platelets. The aim of our study is to evaluate whether change of MPV value is associated with cabergoline treatment in patients with prolactinoma.Materials and methods: Thirty patients with prolactinoma (mean age 33.4±8.5 years and body mass index (BMI): 28.1&...

Background: Differential thyroid cancer (DTC) is classified into papillary, follicular and papillary micro thyroid cancer. Also, mean platelet volume (MPV) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate MPV values in DTC patients.Materials and methods: The levels of MPV were assessed in 183 patients with DTC 44 papillary thyroid cancer (mean age 43.±13.9) 34 papillary micro thyroid cancer (m...
