Introduction: Subacute thyroiditis (ST) is a self limited condition; relapse is rarely seen. Anterior cervical complains and inflammatory syndrome is highly suggestive.Aim: We report a series of female cases associating arelapse of ST which was confirmed after the admission for atypical distant symptoms as diffuse headache or ear pain.Material and Methods: The endocrine profile is presented.Results: A 48-year...

Aim: The biological diagnostic of Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) is based on higher than normal levels of antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO). Our goal was to establish the cut-off limit of normality (the upper limit) for ATPO in our thyroid normal patients. This limit and not that of the laboratory, should be used as diagnosis of Hashimoto thyroiditis.Material and method: 1. ATPO was investigated in patients with normal level of thyroid hormones (euthyroi...

Aim: Re-analysing the effect of injectable testosterone undecanoate depot (TUD) in hypogonadic patients.Materials and method: (A) Patients: at onset 210 men with hypogonadism (median age: 61.5 years). (B) Distribution: by decade; n=4, 12, 21, 54, 59, 43, 16, and 1. (C) TUD (NebidoR-Bayer-Schering) 1000 mg was injected one per 3 months i.m. (D) Prostate volume (PV) appreciated by per-abdominal ultrasound: 3.5 MHz probe, elliptical volume (cm...

Aim: To find if testosterone undecanoate (TUD) 1000 mg injection (NebidoR; Bayer-Schering) at 3 months has a negative effect on prostate.Materials and method: i) PSA (ng/ml) registred before (T0) and after TUD at T1 (2 weeks) to T10 (7 years) (see Pisoschi, this Congress); ii) statistical analysis: t-test, simple correlation, and multiple regression.Results: (A) Patients at onset: 143 men, 18–96 years, average: 60.38;...

Aim: Re-analyzing the effect of injectable testosterone undecanoat depot (TUD) in hypogonadic patients.Materials & methods: (A) Patients: at onset 191 men with hypogonadism (median age: 64 years). (B) Distribution: by decade. (C) TUD (NebidoR-Bayer-Schering) 1000 mg was injected one per 3 months i.m. (D) Prostate volume (PV) by per-abdominal ultrasound: 3.5 MHz probe, elliptical volume (cm3), Aloka 550. (E). Time of analysis: be...

Aim: Analyzing the evolution of thyroid function in thyroiditis and related disease between 1–20 years.Material and method: i). Diagnostic: Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT): 1. antithyroperoxydase antibodies (ATPO), cut-off 34 ui/ml. 2. if ATPO=normal, thyroiditis was considered if high antithyroglobuline antibodies (T-ATG); 3. idiopathic mixedema (IM): hypothyroidism with no ATPO, no A...

Material and method: i). Patients: A. ‘Classical’ Hashimoto thyroiditis (hyper-ATPO-emia, HT) =1293, B. thyroiditis with isolated hyper-ATG-emia, with normal ATPO (T-ATG) =92, C. thyroiditis ‘sero-negative’ (normal ATPO and ATG, pathology diagnosis) =11, D. idiopathic myxedema (hypothyroidism, no A,B,C) =86; E. control=1219. 2. Statistical analysis: X2 test, z test.Results:...

Aim and Objectives: Is Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) different from thyroiditis with only antithyroglobulin antibodies (T-ATG)?Material and method: i). Diagnosis: ATPO >34 ui/ml = HT; ATPO normal with high ATG (>34 ui/ml) =T-ATG. ii). Thyroid function: TSH. iii). Patients: HT=1293, T-ATG=92. iv). Statistical analysis: Student tα, linear correlation tests....

Introduction: There are many side effects caused by mitotane and several are registered at drug levels lower than therapeutical doses.Aim: We observed the mitotane side effects in patients treated for adrenal cancer.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study in adrenal tumors.Results: Out of 56 patients included in a database with adrenal tumors, we found eight patients (14.25%) with adrenal cancer ...

Aim: Re-analyzing the effect of injectable testosterone undecanoat depot (TUD) in hypogonadic patients.Material-method: i) Patients: at onset 175 men with hypogonadism (median age: 64 years). ii) Distribution: by decade. iii) TUD (Nebido-Bayer-Schering) 1000 mg was injected one per 3 months i.m. iv) Prostate volume (PV) appreciated by per-abdominal ultrasound: 3.5 MHz probe, elliptical volume (cm3), Aloka 550. v) Time of analysis: before start...
