Serum Betatrophin Levels Are Reduced in Patients with Full-Blown Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
(2019)
Betatrophin is defined as a new marker in glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism. We aimed to investigate the role of serum betatrophin in full-blown polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients and 47-aged healthy women, ...
Higher mean platelet volume is accompanied with hyperthyroidism in patients with Graves' disease
(2020)
Purpose: Graves' disease (GD) is an autoimmune disease that is the most common cause of thyrotoxicosis. Thyrotoxicosis can cause a decrease in platelet survival time. Inflammation is an important stimulus for platelets and ...
Knosp and Hardy Grading Systems are Useful in Predicting Persistence of Male Hypogonadism in Prolactinomas Following Prolactin Normalization
(2020)
Objective: Despite serum prolactin normalization and tumor shrinkage being obtained using dopamine agonist treatment, hypogonadism may persist in several men with prolactinomas. In this study, we evaluated the effects of ...
Effect of type 2 diabetes mellitus on efficacy and safety of therapeutic apheresis for severe hypertriglyceridemia
(2020)
The efficacy and safety of triglyceride (TG) apheresis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is unclear. Diabetic complications may predispose patients to adverse events (AEs) associated with the apheresis procedure, ...
Hyperglycemia in Hospital: Diagnosis, Classification, Clinical Implications and Treatment
(2017)
Hyperglycemia is a well-recognized risk factor for hospital-related complications, prolonged stay in the hospital and even mortality. The patients with in-hospital hyperglycemia may be categorized into three groups: i) ...
Mean platelet volume in Graves' disease: A sign of hypermetabolism rather than autoimmunity?
(2017)
Objective: To evaluate the impact of mean platelet volume (MPV) on predicting disease course among patients with Graves' disease (GD).
Methods: This retrospective study was performed between 2013-2016 at the Outpatient ...
Factors affecting lifespan following below-knee amputation in diabetic patients
(2017)
Introduction: Untreatable foot problems in diabetics may require lower extremity amputation, which has a high level of patient mortality. This high mortality rate is worse than most malignancies. The present study aimed ...
Body Mass Index below Obesity Threshold Implies Similar Cardiovascular Risk among Various Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Phenotypes
(2016)
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the cardiometabolic risk factors in different polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) phenotypes. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed between 2010 and ...
Hounsfield unit value has null effect on thyroid nodules at F-18-FDG PET/CT scans
(2018)
Objective: Detection rate of thyroid nodules is increasing with the use of new imaging modalities, especially in screening for malignancies. Positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT)-positive thyroid nodules ...
Continuous insulin therapy versus apheresis in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-associated pancreatitis
(2022)
Background The optimal treatment modality for lowering the triglyceride level in patients with hypertriglyceridemia (HTG)-associated acute pancreatitis is unknown. We evaluated the efficacy of continuous insulin infusion ...
