Objective: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) can lead to long-term vascular complications such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN). This study aimed to investigate the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) insertion (I)/deletion (D) and angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT1R) A1166C variants in the predisposition to T2DM in the Turkish population and their association with DPN.
Methods: The study included 90 T2DM patients (42 with DPN) and 50 healthy individuals.
Objective: Subcentimeter papillary thyroid carcinoma (sPTC), also known as papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, is associated with a good prognosis and low mortality risk. However, some sPTCs exhibit biologically aggressive characteristics. The aim of this study was to identify factors affecting the prognosis and aggressiveness of sPTC by considering the demographic characteristics of patients with sPTC and the pathologic characteristics of the tumors.

- COVID-19 mainly affects the lungs but can also mess with other parts of the body, like the adrenal glands.
- A 31-year-old woman got really weak and dizzy after having COVID-19 and was found to have an issue with her adrenal glands called primary adrenal insufficiency.
- After starting treatment with hydrocortisone, she felt better in a week, but it took six months for her skin darkening to go away.
Objective: Primary hypophysitis might be challenging to diagnose, and there is a lack of evidence regarding optimal treatment strategies due to rarity of the disease. We aim to investigate the clinical features and compare the outcomes of different management strategies of primary hypophysitis in a large group of patients recruited on a nationwide basis.
Design: A retrospective observational study.
Objective: The association between autoimmunity-related tissue injury and thyroid cancer development remains an area of interest. Evidence suggests that patients with Graves disease (GD) may have an elevated risk for differentiated thyroid cancer. Multicenter studies are needed to gain insight into the correlates of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) identified in this particular group of patients.
