It has been recently questioned whether MetS and its related components are associated functional morphological alterations the thyroid gland. The aim our study to examine volume nodule prevalence in case-control patients mild-to-moderate iodine-deficient area.Two hundred seventy-eight were randomly matched for age, gender, smoking habits 261 subjects without MetS. Serum TSH,...

Summary Objective Pain is one of the few drawbacks fine‐needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with nodular thyroid disease (NTD). Lidocaine/prilocaine cream, an eutectic mixture local anaesthetics (EMLA), a frequently used topical anaesthetic. Despite its well‐documented efficacy for relief pain associated other cutaneous procedures that involve needle insertion, analgesic role EMLA has not been previously reported NTD who are undergoing FNAB. The aim this study was to determine...

Thyroid volume and the prevalence of thyroid nodules are higher in patients with insulin resistance. A relationship between glucose metabolism disorders (GMD) has not as yet been clarified. The present retrospective study aimed to investigate association GMD volume.We investigated data 2,630 who were evaluated for biopsy our hospital. population included 602 GMD, 554 diabetes mellitus (DM) 1,474 normal a control group. We obtained levels serum stimulating hormone (TSH) volumes those...

Objective: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is a mandatory procedure in evaluation of thyroid nodules. However, it sometimes perceived as painful by the patients. Efficacy needle-free injection local anesthesia for reducing pain associated with other cutaneous procedures that involve needle insertion was previously reported. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we evaluated effectiveness lidocaine achieving satisfactory control patients undergoing FNAB Design:...

The objective of this study was to assess the antiproliferative pleiotropic effects statins on thyroid function, volume, and nodularity.One hundred six hyperlipidemic patients were included in prospective study. 69 statin groups received atorvastatin (16 10 mg 18 20 mg) or rosuvastatin (20 15 mg). 37 control group, assessed as not requiring drugs, made only lifestyle changes. Upon admission after 6 months, all evaluated by ultrasonography well for lipid variables (total cholesterol, high-...

We aimed to evaluate the elastographic features of Achilles tendon with Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse in patients and without diabetic neuropathy.According presence peripheral neuropathy, 45 type 2 diabetes were divided into subgroups. Those neuropathy defined as group I (22 patients) those II (23 patients). A total thirty age-, gender-, body mass index-matched healthy individuals selected controls. All participants underwent both ultrasonographic examination order Tendon thickness...

Overt thyroidism is known to cause neuropsychiatric disorders but studies on subclinical hyperthyroidism (SCH) are limited. Subclinical induction by administering L-Thyroxine (LT4) the standard treatment method in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) follow-up. Our aim was investigate whether anxiety, depression and quality of life affected DTC patients followed-up with exogenous SCH.The were divided into SCH LT4-DTC (n = 127), euthyroid-DTC 66) euthyroid-benign noduüle (BTN) who underwent...

Studies evaluating the effect of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on leptin levels are contradictory. The aim this study was to investigate effects bilateral ovariectomy and ERT serum anthropometric measurements as well interaction among leptin, sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), insulin like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in premenopausal women after ovariectomy. Twenty-four who undergo overiectomy were divided into two groups based whether they received hormonal treatment postoperatively....

Background: The response against adjuvants in vaccines is presented as autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome (ASIA). In this case report, we both SAT and Graves’ disease a patient ASIA following the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccination. Case Presentation: A 31-year-old woman was admitted to endocrinology outpatient clinic with complaint of neck pain second dose BNT162B2 SARS-CoV-2 (Pfizer/BioNTech) vaccine. On physical examination, her thyroid gland tender on palpation. Her function tests were...

A considerable number of COVID-19 vaccines became available following the outbreak. Yet, various inflammatory and autoimmune complications have been reported vaccination. We aimed to report case a type 1 diabetic patient converting from Hashimoto's thyroiditis Graves' disease after fourth dose vaccine, thought trigger an autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA syndrome).A thirty-one-year-old female with diabetes applied our clinic complaints palpitations, anxiety, weight...

Background: The prevalence rate of thyroid cancers in patients with renal failure is variable different studies. Our aim was to determine the and clinicopathological characteristics dialysis population evaluate potential risk factors. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis on end-stage disease (ESRD) thyroidectomized without ESRD (2000–2006). Then we compared data cancer (n = 9) who had histopathologically verified benign 23) histopathological ESRD. Results: Papillary (PTC) only...

Diabetes mellitus is considered to cause a tendency for arterial thrombosis. Recent studies addressed the association between venous and disease. Resistance activated protein C one of most common causes thrombosis linked single point mutation in factor V gene, designated as Leiden mutation. There little information regarding status type 1 diabetes. The aim this study evaluate among sensitivity ratio, mutation, diabetes taking into account metabolic control, lipids diabetic complications....
