Objective: Resistance to thyroid hormone beta (RTHβ) is a rare disorder characterized by a fairly heterogeneous clinical presentation due to varying degrees of tissue response to thyroid hormone. The study aimed to evaluate the clinical, laboratory features and genotype-phenotype relationship of Turkish patients with RTHβ.
Methods: Patients who underwent a THRB gene analysis between September 2019 and September 2023 were retrospectively reviewed.
Article Synopsis
- - This study evaluated the effectiveness of plasma and urinary metanephrines as diagnostic tools for adrenal lesions in 152 patients, highlighting their importance in a multidisciplinary medical setting.
- - A variety of adrenal conditions were identified among patients, including pheochromocytoma and adrenocortical carcinoma, with 94 patients undergoing surgery.
- - Urinary fractionated metanephrine was found to be the most sensitive test for diagnosing pheochromocytoma (90%), while plasma free normetanephrine was the most specific (91.4%), demonstrating a significant correlation between the plasma and urinary tests.
Background: Transferring the intricate laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) technique poses a considerable challenge for novice surgeons. Fellowship programs, typically lasting three to twelve months, remain the primary avenue for acquiring laparoscopic skills. This study proposes that residency-based laparoscopy training confers distinct advantages over fellowship programs during the initial stages of LRP.
