Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the ECG characteristics of 103 acromegaly patients to assess the risk of cardiovascular complications and life expectancy, highlighting the significance of the Tp-e interval and its ratios as indicators of ventricular arrhythmia risk.
- - Results show that patients with both baseline and current ECGs experienced a decrease in heart rate, QRS duration, and several arrhythmia parameters, which were similarly affected regardless of whether the patients were in active or remission stages of the disease.
- - The conclusion emphasizes that treatment leads to improved ventricular arrhythmia parameters in acromegaly patients, which correlates with a significant reduction in IGF-1 levels, even in those with ongoing active disease.
Background: Endotracheal suctioning is a procedure used by neonatal intensive care unit nurses to maximize oxygenation and clear airways of secretions, and is one of the most common painful procedures causing stress in intubated newborns.
Aim: This aim of this study is to compare the effects of open and closed endotracheal suctioning on pain, peak heart rate and oxygen saturation in neonates on mechanicalventilation.
Materials And Methods: This experimental-design study was conducted on 30 newborns who were mechanically ventilated in the tertiary neonatal intensive care unit of a public hospital.
Objective: Primary hypophysitis might be challenging to diagnose, and there is a lack of evidence regarding optimal treatment strategies due to rarity of the disease. We aim to investigate the clinical features and compare the outcomes of different management strategies of primary hypophysitis in a large group of patients recruited on a nationwide basis.
Design: A retrospective observational study.
Background: The ongoing debate regarding the need for screening Cushing's syndrome (CS) in patients with obesity continues. The objectives of this study were to establish the prevalence of CS in the population with obesity and assess how metabolic health status influences cortisol levels following the 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST).
Methods: This retrospective study included 1008 patients with obesity who underwent screening with the 1 mg DST for CS.
There has been an increase in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules in recent years. In addition to the well-known criteria, features that are likely to increase the risk of malignancy are in the research process. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the malignant potential of nodules that expand the thyroid capsule ultrasonographically.
