To investigate the potential metabolic benefits deriving from daily vitamin E administration in type II diabetic patients.Twenty-five patients were invited to randomly take placebo or (d-alpha-tocopherol; 900 mg/day) along a similar 3-mo period double-blind, crossover procedure. A wash-out of 30 days separated two treatment periods. At end each blood samples drawn for plasma metabolites determination, and an intravenous glucose tolerance test (25 g as bolus 3 min) was performed. During this...
This guideline (GL) is aimed at providing a reference for the management of non-functioning, benign thyroid nodules causing local symptoms in adults outside pregnancy.This GL has been developed following methods described Manual National Guideline System. For each question, panel appointed by Associazione Medici Endocrinology (AME) identified potentially relevant outcomes, which were then rated their impact on therapeutic choices. Only outcomes classified as "critical" and "important"...
Abstract Context The risk stratification of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is crucial in clinical decision making. most widely accepted method to assess recurrent/persistent disease described the 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA) guidelines. However, recent research has focused on inclusion novel features or questioned relevance currently included features. Objective To develop a comprehensive data-driven model predict persistent/recurrent that can capture all...
The ongoing spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) poses a significant threat to global health. As outbreak began spreading, hospitals were forced relocate resources treat growing number COVID-19 patients. consequence, doctors across country canceled tens thousands nonurgent surgeries. However, recognizing that situation may be highly variable and fluid in different communities country, elective surgery could...
Plasma renin activity (PRA) declines with age in normal individuals, but the effect of on plasma angiotensin II (ANG II) is less clear. A decline ANG could result altered platelet receptor density since hormone levels influence their target organ receptors. To investigate this possibility, PRA, II, and were examined 17 young, 12 middle-aged, 14 elderly healthy normotensive volunteers. assess whether hypertension density, these variables also 23 hypertensive patients. In normotensives, there...
Background . The results of video-assisted thyroidectomy (VAT) were evaluated in a large series patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), especially terms completeness the surgical resection and short-to-medium term recurrence. Methods medical records all who underwent for PTC between June 1998 May 2009 reviewed. Results Three hundred fifty-nine included. One twenty-six concomitant central neck node removal. Final histology showed 285 pT1, 26 pT2, 48 pT3 PTC. Lymph metastases found 27...
Erythropoiesis is affected during deep saturation dives. The mechanism should be related to a downregulation of serum Erythropoietin (s-EPO) concentration or toxic effect the hyperbaric hyperoxia. We evaluated s-EPO and other haematological parameters in 6 scuba divers before, after 14-days guinness dive (8-10 m). Athletes were breathing air at 1.8-2 ATA, under control team physicians. Serum measured before diving (T0) and: 7 days (T1), 14 (T2) beginning 2 h (T3) 24 (T4) resurfacing. Hgb,...
Background: The continuous intraoperative nerve monitoring (CIONM) technique seems to be acknowledged as a useful tool prevent impending injury, because it constantly provides valuable real-time information. Aim of the study is evaluate impact CIONM on functional outcome i.e., recurrent laryngeal (RLN) palsy, compared traditional surgical procedure. Methods: From January December 2016, 197 patients who underwent thyroid surgery were included in this retrospective study: 94 had procedure and...
(1) Background: We evaluated the long term adherence to two distinct formulations of levothyroxine (L-T4), liquid or solid, which are differently influenced by concomitant food ingestion. (2) Methods: A total 106 thyroidectomized patients (82 female, mean age 58.2 ± 13.3 years) on L-T4 replacement therapy in either (n = 52) solid formulation 54) were administered four-item Medication Adherence Questionnaire (MAQ). (3) Results: The study population had 59.4% adherers and 40.6% non-adherers....
Nowadays, there is high demand for sensitive gas sensors both human and environmental monitoring. This paper deals with a high-resolution (0.2 ppb) laser-based photoacoustic spectroscopic system realized at ENEA Frascati, Italy, applied monitoring stress in scuba divers during sustained immersion by analyzing breath samples. Blood tests psychometric were performed Catholic University Rome. Results will be reported discussed.
Abstract Purpose Irisin is a newly discovered adipo-myokine known for having significant effects on body metabolism. Currently, there discussion regarding the relation between thyroid function and irisin concentration. This study was designed to evaluate influential role of levothyroxine replacement therapy circulating levels in patients with recently onset hypothyroidism following total thyroidectomy. Methods Circulating hormones, other metabolic parameters, were assessed 40...
Scuba diving is known to affect the rhino-pharyngo-tubaric district (RPT unit). The aim of study was document function modifications RPT unit in 6 Italian divers (3 men and 3 women) who lived for 14 days consecutively at a depth 8–10 m, breathing air (21% oxygen) pressure ranging between 1.8 2 ATA. inner ear assessment were carried out before dive (TIME 0) 24 h 1) after resurfacing, order investigate diving-related alterations. Physical examination resurfacing revealed: fungal external...
Abstract Ectopic thyroid tissue is a rare condition, caused by aberrancy during gland embryogenesis. Any pathology involving the can also affect ectopic tissue, including tumorigenesis. We report challenging case of relapsed hyperthyroidism in woman who already underwent subtotal thyroidectomy 1995 and surgical revision 2020 for multinodular toxic goiter. 99m Tc-pertechnetate scan revealed an area radiotracer focal uptake at submandibular level, posing differential diagnosis between salivary...
