<b><i>Aim: </i></b>High-quality national representative data on obesity in Romanian children are needed to shape public health policies. To provide<b> </b>a unified landscape prevalence, trends and other factors associated with underweight, overweight, aged 6-19 years, across the last decade (2006-2015). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Using a common protocol, we selected published unpublished studies that measured schools between 2006 2015....
Epidemiological data on obesity prevalence are scarce in Romanian population. Consequently, the aim of our study was to evaluate and unhealthy behaviors among school children adolescents from Bucharest, Romania.Cross-sectional study, 866 participants (53.2% girls, 46.8% boys, age range 6-18 years), selected by systematic sampling with probability-proportionate-to-size all Bucharest's schools.height, weight a questionnaire collect information about life style eating behavior. Nutritional...
Introduction: Although measuring bone mineral density (BMD) with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) represents the standard of diagnosis and management osteoporosis, there is a significant number fragility fractures occurring in young patients without low BMD. Recently, clinical risk tools included hip axis length (HAL), geometric parameter derived from DXA scan, as predictor older postmenopausal women. This study aims to evaluate relationship between HAL other cortical postmenopausal,...
β-Thalassemia major (BTM) is a rare disease that challenges clinicians because of the high prevalence complications despite progress in development new therapeutic methods. The aim this study was to identify clinical and hematological parameters associated with hypogonadism, most frequent iron overload-related complication found Romanian patients.Patients BTM were evaluated Endocrinology Department Elias Hospital between February 2004 December 2013. Only patients who provided written...
Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a member of the tumour necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily proteins known to be involved in large number biological systems, plays pivotal role bone remodelling. In addition roles OPG metabolism, it has been reported associated with high cardiovascular risk patients metabolic syndrome. most cases, exact functions remain established; however, widespread expression suggests that this molecule may have multiple activities, mainly cardiometabolic environment. The...
Visceral adiposity is associated with decreased serum adiponectin levels, peripheral resistance to insulin and an increased risk of cardio-metabolic complications. However, the link between expression in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), its levels metabolic protection controversial. The aim this study was investigate relationship gene VAT clinical parameters patients severe obesity.This a cross-sectional that included 51 severely obese (age 43.24±11.29 years, BMI 45.13±8.67 kg/m2), extensively...
: The literature suggests that physiological menopause (MP) seems linked with increased adiposity a preference for intra-abdominal fat accumulation, greater than what can be attributed only by aging, which could magnify this period's cardiovascular risk.
We assessed the relationship between insulin resistance, serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) levels, and common carotid intima–media thickness (CC-IMT) in morbidly obese young patients. A total of 249 patients (aged 37.9 ± 9.8 years, body mass index [BMI] 45.6 8.3 kg/m 2 ) were evaluated (metabolic tests, IGF-1 measurements, homeostasis model assessment—insulin resistance [HOMA-IR], ultrasonographically CC-IMT) a research program for bariatric surgery candidates. After adjusting age,...
The primary endpoint was to analyze the preoperatory inflammatory markers and platelet indices in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients compared with benign pathology. secondary endpoints were relationship between these pathological features of PTC compare their pre- postoperative levels patients.In this retrospective case-control study, we analyzed files 1183 submitted thyroidectomy January 2012 December 2018. A total 234 (mean age 51.54 ± 13.10 years, 84.6% females) an age-, gender-...
Thyroid dysfunction is a common complication of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) and its therapy. Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) multifactorial, stress related cardiomyopathy, rarely reported in association with thyrotoxicosis. Simultaneous occurrence TCM thyrotoxicosis due to treatment has never been reported.A 47-year-old woman was admitted for acute chest pain, dyspnea, palpitations diaphoresis. She had diagnosed CHC undergone 7 months IFNα Ribavirin At admission electrocardiogram (ECG) showed...
The aim of this study was to identify the primary susceptibility HLA-DRB1 alleles associated with GD in Romanian population and seek whether specific haplotypes are differences clinical presentation at diagnosis. Molecular typing performed 77 Caucasian patients 445 racially matched controls. In patients, age, presence eye disease, goiter grade, autoantibody status titer, TSH, FT4, FT3, TT3 levels were recorded allelic frequencies HLA-DRB1*03 (41.55% vs. 17.75%, p < 0.0001, χ(2) = 20.81)...

Low bone mineral density (BMD) is a common complication in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). However, debates are ongoing regard to the other involved factors, especially younger patients. This study aimed evaluate parameters that contribute decreased BMD, focusing on premenopausal women and men aged <50 years.This included 81 IBD age-, sex- BMI-matched controls. Blood tests were conducted patients, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan was performed both groups.Low BMD...
