Frequency of isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia in women with gestational diabetes mellitus in a moderately iodine-deficient area.

Aim: To investigate frequency of isolated maternal hypothyroxinemia (IMH) in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) using both the method specific trimester range (MSTR) and the standard reference range (SRR).

Methods: Our study included 50 GDM patients (case group) and 60 non-GDM pregnant (control group). Glucose, insulin, HOMA-IR, fT4 and TSH values were measured when pregnancy was confirmed in all participants.

"Is there any association between insulin resistance and thyroid cancer? : A case control study".

Insulin stimulates proliferation of thyroid cells in culture. The presence of insulin resistance (IR) is associated with larger thyroid gland volume and an increased prevalence of thyroid nodules. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of any possible association between IR and thyroid cancer.

Effect of cabergoline on insulin sensitivity, inflammation, and carotid intima media thickness in patients with prolactinoma.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of Cabergoline on insulin sensitivity, inflammatory markers, and carotid intima media thickness in prolactinoma patients. Twenty-one female, newly diagnosed patients with prolactinoma were included in the study. None of the patients were treated previously.

Early assessment of renal resistance index and long-term renal function in renal transplant recipients.

Background: The effect of the intrarenal arterial resistance index (RI) on long-term renal functions is not well known. We examined the predictive value of intrarenal RI on long-term allograft outcomes.

Methods: We retrospectively investigated 121 stable renal transplant recipients, followed for a mean of 63.
