Article Synopsis
- Thyroid nodules are common and usually benign, but they can pose a risk of malignancy; this study examined the histopathological types of thyroid nodules in Ahvaz over selected years.
- The study reviewed records from 380 patients, finding that 70.3% had benign nodules while 29.7% were malignant, with papillary thyroid cancer being the most common type; significant factors related to malignancy included age, bilateral nodules, and lymphadenopathy.
- Key findings suggest that awareness of specific risk factors, such as age (30-45 years) and lymph node involvement, is crucial when assessing the likelihood of malignancy in thyroid nodules.
Introduction: Effects of levothyroxine therapy on the lipid profile of hypothyroid patients lead to decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality.
Objective: Overt or subclinical hypothyroid dysfunction has negative effects on lipid metabolism and leads to hypercholesterolemia that in turn increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality. In this matter, several interventional studies investigated the effects of levothyroxine therapy on the lipid profile of hypothyroid patients, and conflicting results have been obtained.
Introduction: In this study, we aimed to compare metabolic risk factors, lipid indices, healthy eating index, and physical activity among premenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 4,732 women participating in the Hoveyzeh Cohort Study were placed into three groups of premenopausal (n=736), menopausal (n=396), and postmenopausal (n=917) women, according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria .
Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was 43.
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) between patients with and without thyroid nodules.
Materials And Methods: This case-control study was performed on 86 patients with normal Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) level (0.5-4.
Background: Accurate evaluation of response to treatment in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the sine qua non of preventing over-treatment in low-risk patients and implementing appropriate interventions in high-risk individuals.
Objectives: This study aimed to assess the response to therapy in DTC patients based on dynamic stratification method.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 154 medical records of subjects with DTC (with at least 6 months after total thyroidectomy) and referred to endocrinology clinics in Ahvaz, Iran, from April 2020 to May 2021 were examined.
Aims: Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease that manifested as hyperglycemia due to the defect in secretion or function of insulin. This study aimed was to survey about frequency type I and II diabetes in newly diagnosed diabetic patients base on c-peptide and anti-glutamate acid decarboxylase (GAD) tests.
Materials & Methods: This study was conducted as a prospective study on 70 diabetic patients aged 15-45 years old who referred to diabetes clinics in Ahvaz city during 2012-2014 and their diabetes was diagnosed for the first time, but their type of diabetes was not clinically definitive.
Aims: Early identification of at-risk groups is an important step in preventing gestational diabetes and its subsequent side effects. This study aimed to evaluate the risk factors of gestational diabetes based on the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups criteria in Ahvaz.
Material And Methods: In a cross-sectional case control study, 520 pregnant women involving life after gestational diabetes Ahvaz cohort study (LAGAs) were investigated for risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus.
