The effect of COVID-19 pandemic on new-onset adult diabetes and its one-year follow-up.

Aims: Bidirectional detrimental relationships between COVID-19 infection and diabetes have been described globally. However, new-onset diabetes in adults and its follow-up during the pandemic have not been sufficiently investigated. In this study, new-onset autoimmune and type 2 diabetes cases during the pandemic were compared to those before the pandemic, and the clinical course of new-onset diabetes during the pandemic was examined.

Efficacy of Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Apheresis in the Treatment of Familial Hypercholesterolemia: Single Center Experience.

Purpose:   Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic disorder associated with extremely high levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and increased incidence of cardiovascular disease. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and long-term outcomes of lipoprotein apheresis (LA) in the treatment of FH.

Methods:   Cardiovascular events that occurred before and after LA treatment were evaluated by reviewing previous medical records of patients with FH.

The role of severity and duration of inflammation and hematological parameters on the outcome of subacute thyroiditis.

The role of severity and duration of inflammatory findings on the development of persistent hypothyroidism and anemia has not been clarified in subacute thyroiditis (SAT). Demographic data and laboratory parameters of patients with SAT were analyzed retrospectively. Permanent hypothyroidism was observed in 28.

Reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the problem areas in diabetes (PAID) survey: Results from diabetes MILES - Turkey.

Background And Aims: To 1) assess the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Problem Areas in Diabetes (PAID), PAID-5 and PAID-1 survey among Turkish adults with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, 2) estimate the level of elevated diabetes-specific distress (DD), and 3) determine the demographic and clinical correlates of DD-symptom severity.

Methods And Results: From 2017-2019, 252 adults with type 1(n = 80) (T1DM) or type 2 diabetes (n = 172) (T2DM) self-reported demographic factors, DD(PAID) and related psychological and clinical questionnaires. We examined PAID internal consistency, structural and convergent validity.

The impact of intraoperative neural monitoring during papillary thyroid cancer surgery on completeness of thyroidectomy and thyroglobulin response: a propensity-score matched study.

Background: Intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM) has been utilized for a variety of thyroid pathologies, including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Remnant thyroid tissue following total thyroidectomy (TT) in patients with PTC is associated with increased recurrence. The aim of this study is to investigate whether the use of IONM in PTC surgery has an impact on the completeness of thyroidectomy.

Diagnosis and management of tumor-induced osteomalacia: a single center experience.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to review the clinical and laboratory characteristics, diagnostic and treatment modalities of tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) cases managed in a single center.

Material Methods: Demographic and clinical features, biochemical findings, diagnostic procedures, treatment modalities, and outcomes of nine patients who had the diagnosis of TIO were reviewed retrospectively.

Results: Mean age of the study group (F/M: 4/5) was 45.

Subacute THYROiditis Related to SARS-CoV-2 VAccine and Covid-19 (THYROVAC Study): A Multicenter Nationwide Study.

Context: The aims of the study are to compare characteristics of subacute thyroiditis (SAT) related to different etiologies, and to identify predictors of recurrence of SAT and incident hypothyroidism.

Methods: This nationwide, multicenter, retrospective cohort study included 53 endocrinology centers in Turkey. The study participants were divided into either COVID-19-related SAT (Cov-SAT), SARS-CoV-2 vaccine-related SAT (Vac-SAT), or control SAT (Cont-SAT) groups.

Effect of Cabergoline Treatment on Disease Control in Acromegaly Patients.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cabergoline in normalizing plasma IGF-I levels in acromegaly patients with elevated IGF-I levels after surgery and/or SRL therapy. Acromegaly patients (n: 143) were evaluated retrospectively. Patients with elevated IGF-I levels after surgery and/or SRLs therapy and a fixed dose of SRLs treatment for the last six months with no history of radiotherapy in the last three years were included in the study (n: 12).

Comparison of amylase and lipase levels of patients with Type 2 diabetes under different treatment modalities.

Study aims to assess amylase, lipase of patients with Type 2 diabetes under different types of treatments. Patients' treatment modalities including insulin, metformin, pioglitazone, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors, insulin secretagogues, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors and glucagon like peptide-1 receptor agonists were compared. There was no difference in amylase and lipase levels between dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor users and non-users (p = 0.

Outcomes of first-line long-acting octreotide treatment in non-functional, advanced gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors.

Purpose: Benefits of somatostatin analogues have been mostly studied in mixed samples of patients including both functional and non-functional neuroendocrine tumors. This study aimed to examine the response of patients with non-functional metastatic or inoperable gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (GEP-NETs) that received first-line treatment with the somatostatin analogue octreotide LAR.

Methods: The medical records of 23 patients with locally inoperable or metastatic non-functional neuroendocrine tumors who received octreotide LAR (long acting release) treatment were retrospectively reviewed for clinical data and disease course.
