Background: Limited data are available for evaluating the effect of blood glucose on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) outcomes in patients with diabetes. We aimed to assess impact levels short-term and long-term adverse undergoing TAVR. Methods Results: Data from severe stenosis (AS) who underwent TAVR 2010 2022 were collected retrospectively.

Post-bariatric-surgery hypoglycemia (PBH) is a serious complication of bariatric surgery (BS). In our previous study about three quarters the patients developed PBH. However long-term follow-up data lacking to determine whether this condition improves with time. The aim current was re-assess post-BS who participated in and there are changes frequency and/or severity hypoglycemic events.Twenty-four post-BS, post Roux-en-Y gastric-bypass (RYGB = 10), omega-loop (OLGB 9) sleeve-gastrectomy (SG...
Background: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a relatively common cause of thyroid disease. However, only few studies evaluating SAT have been published in recent years with varying diagnostic criteria.

All were contacted for follow-up. Results: The female/male ratio 1.4:1, mean age 47 ± 14 62 12 women men, respectively (p =...
