Objectives: To evaluate the patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) by means of choroidal thickness (CT) and also investigate whether CT may be a diagnostic tool in the management of MACS or not.
Methods: Twenty-seven patients with MACS and 25 age-sex-matched healthy controls were enrolled in this cross-sectional comparative study. All the participants underwent CT measurement by using Spectralis optical coherence tomography (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany) with enhanced deep imaging mode at the subfoveal, 500-1000-1500 µm nasal and 500-1000-1500 µm temporal to the foveola.
Objectives: Recent studies have revealed an association between dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP4i) and development of bullous pemphigoid (BP). The main aim of our study is to evaluate the association between DPP4i treatment and BP development. The secondary endpoints were to evaluate clinical characteristics and biochemical parameters of the DPP4i associated BP cases and determine the differences of DPP4i associated BP disease than non-DPP4i associated BP cases.

Objectives: Our aim is to verify the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Paget's disease of bone (PDB) and to reveal the relationship between MetS and bone alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels.
Methods: Twenty-three patients with PDB and 30 healthy subjects matched with age, sex, and body mass index (BMI) were recruited from the outpatient clinics of endocrinology. The ınternational diabetes federation -2006 MetS criteria were used for the evaluation of all participants.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine if dipeptidyl peptidase inhibitors (DPP-4i) influenced disease severity, hospital death rate, and mortality after 3 months in type 2 diabetes patients with COVID-19.
- It analyzed data from 217 hospitalized T2DM patients, comparing those on DPP-4i with those not on it regarding hospitalization duration, need for additional respiratory support, and mortality rates.
- Findings showed no significant differences in hospitalization length, need for mechanical assistance, or mortality rates between the two groups, indicating that DPP-4i usage had no impact on COVID-19 outcomes for T2DM patients.
Aim: We aimed to investigate the retinal layers and macular capillary structure using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) with acromegaly patients and determine the relationship between OCTA parameters and disease duration, Growth hormone (GH) and Insuline growth factor (IGF - 1) levels.
Patients And Method: Twenty-two patients with acromegaly who were followed up in the endocrinology outpatient clinic of Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Health Training and Research Hospital, were recruited into the study. Healthy control group was consisted of 22 age and gender matched subjects.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the risk of hypercalcemia in patients with very high levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D).
Methods: The distribution of patients who were screened for 25(OH)D in our hospital between January 2014 and December 2018 was evaluated and patients with serum concentrations of 25(OH)D >88 ng/mL were selected. Then, biochemical parameters of the cases with 25(OH)D >88 ng/mL were compared according to calcium status, vitamin D level (group 1, 88-100 ng/mL; group 2, 100-150 ng/mL, and group 3, >150 ng/mL), and gender.
