Assessment by Women on Selected Aspects of Quality of Life and on Disease Acceptance after Undergoing Urogynecological Procedures for Urinary Incontinence.

Urinary incontinence is a common social and health problem that affects both men and women. Women, however, are twice as likely as men to experience unintentional and involuntary bladder emptying due to their anatomical structure and biological functions. Urinary incontinence is associated with great discomfort, a sense of shame, and a significant reduction in self-esteem, often resulting in the limiting of, or withdrawing from, professional, social, and community life.

The impact of BMI on clinical progress, response to treatment, and disease course in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer.

Introduction: Obesity is a serious health problem worldwide, particularly in developed countries. It is a risk factor for many diseases, including thyroid cancer. The relationship between obesity and prognostic factors of thyroid cancer is unclear.

Delayed risk stratification system in pT1aN0/Nx DTC patients treated without radioactive iodine.

Purpose: Delayed risk stratification (DRS) system by Momesso and coworkers was accepted by the American Thyroid Association as a diagnostic tool for the risk stratification of unfavorable clinical outcomes and to monitor the clinical outcomes of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients treated without radioactive iodine (RAI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the DRS system in patients with pT1aN0/Nx stage.

Methods: The study included 304 low-risk patients after thyroidectomy ( = 202) or lobectomy ( = 102) without RAI and were treated at a single center.

The Delayed Risk Stratification System in the Risk of Differentiated Thyroid Cancer Recurrence.

Context: There has been a marked increase in the detection of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) over the past few years, which has improved the prognosis. However, it is necessary to adjust treatment and monitoring strategies relative to the risk of an unfavourable disease course.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study examined data from 916 patients with DTC who received treatment at a single centre between 2000 and 2013.

Comparative assessment of calcitonin stimulation test using calcium gluconate and pentagastrin and the usefulness of procalcitonin basic and post-stimulation concentrations in the diagnosis of patients after surgery for medullary.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare the calcitonin (CT) stimulation tests with tests of calcium gluconate (CaG) and pentagastrin (PG), their tolerance and usefulness of PCT in the patients' diagnosis with active Medullary thyroid cancer (MCT) after thyroidectomy.

Methods: CT was marked in serum by the immunosorbent sandwich test. PCT was marked by the immunosorbent sandwich test, with the final reading of fluorenscence.
