Gaucher disease (GD), the most common ultra-rare metabolic disorder, results from lipid accumulation. Systemic inflammation, cellular stress, and metabolic dysfunction may influence endocrine function, including the thyroid. This study evaluated thyroid function and morphology in 60 GD patients, alongside carbohydrate and lipid metabolism.

Introduction: Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most common type of endocrine malignancy, with rising incidence over recent decades. Despite a favorable prognosis, DTC management remains complex, often involving thyroidectomy followed by radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. While RAI is crucial for patient outcomes, its efficacy varies, necessitating the identification of predictors for treatment response.

Introduction And Objectives: Isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) may be associated with pituitary gland and olfactory system disorders. We aimed to correlate findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the pituitary gland and olfactory system in IHH patients with the patients' olfactory phenotype.

Patients And Methods: The present research was a single-center retrospective case-control study.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study analyzed medical records between January 2015 and December 2022, finding that 77.36% of preoperative male patients had HH, but this decreased to 58.49% post-surgery, along with significant increases in testosterone levels.
  • * The research suggests that younger patients with macroadenomas and hyperprolactinemia are more prone to preoperative HH, and about 30% may see hormone normalization after neurosurgical intervention.

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) leads as a primary cause of cancer-related premature mortality in Western populations. This study leverages cutting-edge gene-expression-profiling technologies to perform an in-depth molecular characterization of NSCLC specimens, with the objective of uncovering tumor-specific genomic alterations. By employing DNA microarray analysis, our research aims to refine the classification of NSCLC for early detection, guide molecular-targeted treatment approaches, enhance prognostication, and broaden the scientific understanding of the disease's biology.
