Background and Purpose— Limited data exist concerning obesity survival in patients after acute stroke. The objective of this study was to investigate the association between with first-ever Methods— Patients were prospectively investigated based on a standard diagnostic protocol over period 16 years. Evaluation performed admission, at 7 days, 1, 3, 6 months discharge, yearly thereafter for up 10 years divided into 3 groups according body mass index (BMI): normal weight (<25 kg/m 2 ),...
Patients with hypothyroidism are considered to have an increased risk of developing atherosclerosis; because endothelial dysfunction is early sign atherosclerosis, we investigated whether present in patients hypothyroidism. Thirty-five subjects various TSH levels were by highresolution ultrasound imaging the brachial artery assess and smooth muscle responses. Flowmediated, endothelium-dependent vasodilatation was significantly higher 0.4–2 μIU/mL (11.8 ± 2.7%), compared 2.01-4 (6.8 2.9%),...
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is characterized by germline mutations in RET. For exon 10, comprehensive molecular and corresponding phenotypic data are scarce. The International RET Exon 10 Consortium, comprising 27 centers from 15 countries, analyzed patients with for clinical-risk profiles. Presentation, age-dependent penetrance, stage at presentation of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), pheochromocytoma, hyperparathyroidism were studied. A total 340 subjects 103 families, age 4–86,...
Hyperprolactinemia has been associated with endothelial dysfunction and an adverse cardiovascular risk profile, possibly as a result of the vasoconstrictive properties prolactin. In this cross-sectional study, we examined hypothesis that prolactin contributes to increased occurring in early menopause by studying apparently healthy women without hyperprolactinemia. Prolactin serum levels were measured immunoassay 76 aged 54.4+/-4.9 years for 4.9+/-2.8 years, possible correlations traditional...
Low triiodothyronine (T3) has been associated with increased short-term mortality in intensive care unit patients and long-term heart disease. The objective of this study was to investigate possible associations thyroid hormone status clinical outcome admitted for acute stroke.A total 737 consecutive first ever stroke who presented within 24 h from symptoms' onset were studied. Total T3, thyroxin (T4) thyroid-stimulating (TSH) levels assessed the morning following admission. Cases T3 values...
Twenty-five percent of medullary thyroid cancers (MTC) are familial and inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Three different phenotypes can be distinguished: multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 2A 2B, in which the MTC is associated with other neoplasias, (FMTC), occurs isolation. The discovery that germline RET oncogene activating mutations 95–98% MEN 2/FMTC syndromes availability genotyping to identify affected patients their relatives has revolutionized diagnostic therapeutic...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been associated with increased mortality in a variety of clinical settings. We studied the incidence, predictors, and effect AKI on long-term overall cardiovascular events after stroke.
Thyroid function parameters have been associated with obesity, but associations the type of adiposity not examined. We used ultrasound (US) to assess regional and investigated thyroid central obesity.Cross-sectional study.A total 303 apparently healthy individuals (age 42.9+/-8.8, body mass index (BMI) 19.0-43.3, median 26.2 kg/m(2), 181 women) were examined for indices metabolic syndrome. BMI, waist hip circumference, abdominal subcutaneous fat (SF), preperitoneal (PF) layer was estimated....
We have identified a region within the β CGRP gene which has potential to encode novel calcitonin‐like peptide. The is located on short arm of chromosome 11 (11p 12–14.2) and we suggest that it resulted from local duplication α gene. been unable detect corresponding mRNA in variety tissues express α‐calcitonin. It not clear whether this sequence can be expressed man.
Background: A strong genetic background and gender are believed to be involved in thyroid autoimmunity (TA). The age these factors become manifest is less clear, however. objective of the present study was determine prevalence TA children adolescents if there relationships between period onset maternal autoimmunity. Methods: Antithyroperoxidase antibodies (anti-TPO Ab), antithyroglobulin (anti-Tg thyrotropin, thyroxine, triiodothyronine, urinary iodine were determined 440 healthy...
TSH suppression therapy in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has been associated adverse effects on areal bone mineral density (aBMD) only postmenopausal women. The purpose of study was to examine the effect skeletal integrity using peripheral quantitative computed tomography (pQCT) at radius and tibia pre- women DTC controls.Subjects included 80 (40 40 postmenopausal) 89 (29 60, respectively) controls. pQCT performed tibia, Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) hip lumbar...
Background. Hypothyroidism is common, however, aspects of its treatment remain controversial. Our survey aimed at documenting choices European thyroid specialists and exploring how patients' persistent symptoms, clinician demographics, geo-economic factors relate to choices. Methods. 17,247 from 28 countries were invited participate in an online questionnaire survey. The included respondent demographic data for hypothyroid patients with symptoms. Geo-economic each country the analyses....
Endemic non-toxic goiter (NTG) in Greece has been attributed primarily to iodine deficiency. Thirty years ago about 60% of the prepubertal boys and girls examined endemic regions presented with NTG among them thyroid autoimmunity was rarely detected. Although supplementation corrected this deficiency during past 30 years, new cases still appear. To evaluate prevalence type effect on at present, we performed two cross-sectional clinical studies a retrospective pathology one: (i) gland volume...
