Idiopathic granulomatoushypophysitis is a rare inflammatory disease which is characterized by inflammation and cellular infiltration of the pituitary gland. The infiltration may cause pituitary insufficiency, compression symptoms due to mass effect and diabetes insipidus. We report the case of a 33-year-old female patient who presenting with weakness, fatigue, amenorrhea and worsening of headaches about 3 months. The patient did not have blurring vision and polyuria-polydipsia...

Preoperative preparation of the hyperthyroid patient for thyroidectomy is imperative to avoid perioperative complications due to severe thyrotoxicosis. 24-years old woman was admitted at our clinic for uncontrolled Graves’ disease. In our case, agranulocytosis introduced by propylthiouracil. Therefore, surgery was the only chance of an effective therapy. In cases when the patient is unresponsive to medical therapy or when such therapy is contraindicated, therapeutic plasm...

Introduction: Hirsutism is a disease in which, women chin, upper lip, chest, abdomen, showing the terminal structure to increase hair growth in the male pattern of distribution as androgen sensitive back and thighs are seen. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a simple inflammatory marker of response. Increased value of NLR cardiovascular venture in patients was found to be an indicator of poor prognosis. In our study, we aimed to determine the association b...

Introduction: The aim of this study is to determine the relationship of Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) with vitamin D levels and total and visceral fat mass in cancer patients.Methods: A total of 219 patients were included in the study. All patients underwent blood tests including prealbumin, vitamin D. Also patients’ BMI values were calculated and total and visceral fat masses of all patients were measured by bio-impedance analyzer. All subjects c...

Introduction: Correction of Insulin resistance (IR) and dyslipidemic conditions of obese patients is important for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of our study is to determine the relationship between IR and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in obese patients.Material and methods: 248 patients over the age of eighteen, non-pregnant, followed with a diagnosis of obesity but did not receive the treatment of metfor...

Seventy-two female patients having polycystic ovaries by ultrasonography were named as group 1 and 145 female patients with normal ovaries were named as group 2. FSH, LH, pl...

Introduction: Mean platelet volume (MPV) which is part of a complete blood count measures the platelet size. There are many studies in the literature that it is an indicator of platelet function in thrombotic and inflammatory diseases. However, the number of studies about changes in MPV after treatment in thyroid disease is very limited. In this study, we aimed to reveal the MPV change with treatment in patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.Ma...

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to reveal the mean platelet volume (MPV) change with treatment in patients with hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.Materials and methods: Two groups were retrospectively evaluated as 200 patients (21 male, 179 female) with hypothyroidism and 200 patients (26 male, 174 female) with hyperthyroidism.
