Introduction: Despite the fact that CS is widely employed, further investigation on the topic of the physiology vis a vis this type of delivery is required, especially regardingstress related hormonal response during this practice. The aim of this study is to provide data regarding stress related hormonal response during Vaginal Delivery (VD) and elective CS evaluating levels of Cortisol, Interleukin 6 (IL-6), Growth Hormone (GH) and Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 (IGF-1).<p...

Diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome in acromegaly

Dumitriu Roxana , Petrova Eugenia , Cocolos Andra

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder, caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone. Cardiovascular and metabolic complications reduce life expectancy. Early carbohydrate metabolism disorders and diabetes mellitus are frequently associated with acromegaly.Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the glycemic profile and cardiovascular complications in acromegaly.Methods: We performed a retrospective study. We included...

Histiocytosis X-manifested with insipid diabetes clinical case

Petrova M. , Hristozov K. , Bochev P.

Histiocytosis is a group of syndromes /synonyms: eosinophilicgranulomatosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, fibrous lung disease, disease of smokers, non-lipid reticuloendotheliosis; disease of Hand–Schuller–Christian; disease of Letterer–Siwe/. It is a rare disease and its real frequency is unknown. In a reference center in the U.S. the disease is found in 5% in patients with lung biopsy carried out in connection with the diagnosis of interstitial lun...

Kabelnitskaya LA , Petrova EB , Troshina EA

Aim: To estimate further results of treatment and outcomes in patients with subacute thyroiditis observed in the period from 1993 to 2005 years.Materials and methods: 102 patients (84 women, 18 men) with confirmed De Quervain’s subacute thyroiditis (SAT) were investigated and the findings were analysed retrospectively (clinical features, ultrasonography, laboratory tests).Results: There were 102 patients in the cohort within t...

Osteomalacia: important cause of bone loss in a patient with inflamatory bowl disease: case report

Ghemigian Adina , Popescu Irina , Petrova Evghenia , Neacsu Elena , Dumitrache Constantin

Bone densitometry (DEXA) is the best method available today for diagnosing low bone density. However, DEXA is not able to differentiate osteoporosis from osteomalacia. The definitive diagnosis of osteomalacia is made by bone biopsy – rarely used in medical practice – which shows excess unmineralized bone. Tests of blood and urine may also be helpful: concentration of serum and urinary calcium and phosphorus, 25-hydroxyvitamin D and parathyroid hormone b...

Screening for nutritional status in the elderly

Popescu Irina , Ghemigian Adina , Petrova Evghenia , Dumitrache Constantin

The population of the world is aging and is estimated that by 2030 – 21% of global population will be aged 65 years and older. At present, under-nutrition in older people is a serious and growing global problem affecting even developed countries. As one ages, several physiological and pathlogical changes may contribute towards the development of protein energy malnutrition. This syndrom brings with it many adverse health outcomes and a significant cost to the individual, ...

The thyroid gland in acromegaly

Dumitriu Roxana , Petrova Eugenia , Buruiana Andra , Ghemigian Adina

Objective: Acromegaly is frequently associated with thyroid diseases. In this study we evaluated the incidence, morphology of the thyroid and the influence of surgery, iradiation and medical therapy used in acromegaly on thyroid function.Methods: We evaluated 20 patients diagnosed with acromegaly using thyroid ultrasonography and measurement of IGF1, GH, TSH, free T4. 65% of the patients had active disease and were under medical therapy.<p class="abs...

Simultaneous medullary and papillary thyroid cancer in Graves-Basedow disease. Two case reports

Dumitriu Roxana , Petrova Eugenia , Buruiana Andra , Ghemigian Mircea , Ghemigian Adina

Introduction: The occurence of simultaneous medullary and papillary thyroid cancer is very rare. There were only 17 case reports in the literature, and fewer with Graves-Basedow disease associated. A retrospective study conducted at the National Institute of Endocrinology ‘C. I. Parhon’ showed that 7,6%of the patients who underwent total thyroidectomy for Graves-Basedow disease had thyroid cancer. Recent studies show that specific cellular pathways are determined by ...

In the context of acute disease does the same hyperlactatemia cut-off point hold similar meaning in patients with and without Diabetes mellitus? A retrospective study

Inês Vieira , Petrova Maja , José Moura

IntroductionHyperlactatemia is defined by a lactate value > 2 mmol/l and a lactate value above > 4 mmol/l is commonly used to define more severe hyperlactatemia. It is a common disorder in critically ill patients, associated with adverse prognosis. Diabetes mellitus (DM), however, can also be associated with increased lactate levels at baseline.ObjectivesTo document the development of severe hyperlact...
