Context: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) have recently emerged in assessing pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (PPGLs). However, their combined use with PASS scale has not yet been explored.

Objective: Our goal was to investigate the prognostic values of NLR and PLR and incorporate the PASS score into our analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the electronic structure at the Schottky heterointerface between superconducting NbN and semiconducting GaN, which is critical for device functionality.
  • Using soft x-ray angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, they measure the electronic band structures and determine the interfacial band offset and bending profile.
  • Findings indicate minimal electronic interaction between the Fermi states of NbN and GaN, improving the understanding of electronic properties at interfaces and indicating potential for new quantum materials.*

Background: Microwave ablation (MWA) has great potential for the treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism, but as predictors and therapeutic efficiency have not been fully clarified, further investigations are required.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to explore the predictors of MWA efficacy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) induced by parathyroid adenoma.

Methods: The study included patients with PHPT treated with MWA separated into two groups as response and no response group, according to the efficacy of the treatment.

Introduction In circulation, 99% vitamin D is transported by binding to vitamin D binding protein (VDBP) and albumin. Vitamin D at free form and vitamin D binding to albumin are defined as bioavailable vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with atherogenic lipid profile and insulin resistance.

Objective: In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of the fasting serum levels of Anjiopoetın 2 - like protein (ANGPTL2), Anjiopoetın 8-like protein (ANGPTL8), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in the etiopathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), and analyze the relationships between insulin resistance parameters.

Material And Method: The 90 individuals admitted to İzmir Katip Celebi University Hospital Internal Medicine, Endocrinology and Obstetrics, and gynecology outpatient clinic were included in the study of similar ages and similar demographic characteristics. Forty-five women with diet-controlled GDM and 45 women with normoglycemic pregnancy were enrolled.
