Introduction: Schwannomas are tumors derived from myelin sheat of nerves which can displace and compress nerves causing pain, weakness and numbness. Very rarely they become malignant.Case report: Thirty-one years old patient was hospitalized at our Department to evaluate hypopituitarism.

Adrenal neurilemoma

Ivovic M. , Zivaljevic V. , Marina L. , Gajic M. Tancic , Arizanovic Z. , Vujovic S. , Micic D.

Introduction: Adrenal neurilemoma (or schwannoma) are vary rare tumors. They usually present as incidental finding in asymptomatic patients, which makes them dificult to diagnose preoperatively.Case report: We present a 60 year old woman with incidentally discovered adrenal mass of 5 cm on the right side.

Effects of diet and physical activity-induced weight loss on insulin resistance in severely obese patients

Tancic Gajic M. , Vujovic S. , Ivovic M. , Vukcevic M. , Marina L. , Arizanovic Z. , Micic D.

Introduction: Insulin resistance is quite common among obese individuals. Lifestyle interventions like diet interventions and regular physical activity are still important and safe first-line therapy.The aim of this study was to assess the effects of diet and physical activity-induced weight loss on insulin resistance in extremely obese patients.Methods: Forty-four patients (mean age 41.05±10.23 years) were consecutively recru...

Supine and upright plasma renin (PR) and aldosterone (ALD) in patients with adrenal incidentaloma (AI)

Ivovic Miomira , Stojanovic Milos , Tancic-Gajic Milina , Marina Ljiljana , Barac Marija , Vujovic Svetlana

AI are incidentally discovered adrenal masses without any prior suspicions of adrenal disease. They are most frequently hormonally inactive, with arterial hypertension (AH) as a common finding.The aim was to determine upright and supine PR and ALD levels in patients with AI, normotensive and hypertensive.Two hundred and eight patients (148 women and 60 men, mean age 55.08±11.02 years, mean BMI 27.91±4.6 kg/m2) ...

Synacten test in patients with adrenal incidentaloma

Ivovic Miomira , Stojanovic Milos , Tancic-Gajic Milina , Marina Ljiljana , Vujovic Svetlana , Drezgic Milka

Considering that adrenal tumors are frequent in patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (82% in homozygote and 45% in heterozygote), Synacten test was at first introduced as marker of congenital adrenal deficiency in patient with adrenal incidentaloma. Recent studies showed normal and exaggerated cortisol response in more than 50% of patient with nonhypersecretory adrenal incidentaloma and more than 70% of patients with adrenal incidentaloma and subclinical hypercorticism...
