Aim/objectives: To investigate relationships between thyroid function, antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO), antithyroglobuline antibodies (ATG) and correlations with echographic pattern in Hashimoto thyroiditis and related diseases.Materials and methods: Diagnosis: i) ATPO >34 μ/ml=Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT); ii) ATPO=normal with high ATG=thyroiditis with only hyper-ATG (T-ATG). Thyroid function: TSH. Echographic patterns=10 (Peretianu, this C...

Study: Retrospective, cohort.Material and methods: A. Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) diagnosis: i) antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO) criteria; cut-off >34 IU/ml. ii) If ATPO=normal (N), HT was considered only antithyroglobuline antibodies (ATG) were >50 IU/ml (↑) and ultrasound was pattern 1 (pseudonodular, intense hypoechogenic, inhomogeneous – Peretianu, Endocrine Abstracts, 2007, 14, P340; 2008, 16, P772; 2009, 20, P79).<p class...

Premises: Numerous recent medical journals and communications insist on the high prevalence of Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) associated with breast cancer in women (see www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ key words: breast cancer, thyroiditis, #91).Objective: We proposed to present data from our casuistry related to HT (over 2000 patients and control, including men), observed during last 10 years.Mat...

Introduction: Autoimmune thyroiditis is a disease where the immune system attacks and destroys the thyroid gland. If the pathological exam lacks, the serum antithyroid antibodies are used to diagnose it. Also a useful tool is represented by the anterior cervical ultrasound.Aim: Our aim was to study the ultrasound phenotype in patients diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT+).Material and methods: The patients were investig...

Introduction: Left hepatic lobe volume (LHLV) has been associated with hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in obese women.Aim: To study the correlation between LHLV and body weight, regardless the weight and gender of the patient.Subjects and methods: The left hepatic lobe was evaluated with an echographic probe of 3.5 MHz. The LHLV (cm3) was calculated with the formula: antero-posterior diameter (length)×longit...

Aim: To re-evaluate the prevalence of autoimmune associations in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT).Subjects and methods: The study was performed on 469 consecutive patients with HT and 536 without. The diagnosis of HT was based on an antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO) level above 34 IU/ml. The subjects were evaluated for other associated immune diseases. The statistical analysis used the χ2 test.Results: F...

AimRe-Analysing (starting 2007) the effect of injectable testosterone undecanoat depot (TUD) in hypogonadic patients.Material-methodA. Patients: at onset 333 men with hypogonadism (median: 62 y).B. Distribution: by decade (starting with 20y->90y); no = 6, 18, 35, 80, 104, 67, 21, 2.C. TUD (Neb...

AimWe appreciate the effect of testosterone undecanoat 1000 mg intramuscular injection (NebidoR; Bayer) on both prostatic volume (see Peretianu, this congress) and PSA (this study) in hypogonadic patients after up to 13 years.Material and methodA. PSA (ng/ml) was done in Bucharest accredited laboratories, appreciated at 1 year. B. Prostatic volume (PV): ultrasound,...

Aim: To show that height loss is more correlated with vetebral micoarchitecture than with Bone Mineral Density (BMD). Material and Method: A. DEXA: made with a GE-Lunar Prodigy Pro # 500074. Vertebral microarchitecture was investigated by Trabecular Bone Score (TBS). TBS software: TBS iNsight®, version 3.0.2.0.B. Patients. 902 patients, 844 (93.6%) women, 58 men. Only 42 under 50 years. Age av...

AbstractAim and objectives: To investigate the prevalence of relationships between kin/relatives with a known thyroid immune disorder related to Hashimoto thyroiditis.Material and method: 1. Thyroid disease diagnosis: a. ATPO > 34 u/ml = Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT); b. ATPO = normal but with high antithyroglobuline (ATG) = thyroiditis with only hyper-ATG (T-ATG); c. hypothyroidism without high ATPO/ATG = idiopat...
