Article Synopsis
- Beta-thalassemia major patients often experience endocrinopathies, and a study was conducted to explore how demographic factors and blood transfusions relate to these conditions.
- The study included 114 patients aged 3-38, mostly children, and analyzed various hormonal and biochemical blood markers alongside bone mineral density (BMD) assessments.
- Findings revealed age as a key factor influencing risk for complications like short stature, diabetes, and low BMD, indicating the need for early monitoring in patients as they enter late childhood and early adolescence.
Purpose: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the subject of numerous randomized controlled trials (RCTs). The validity of RCTs may be threatened by attrition bias due to the discontinuation of the study. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the reasons of patient's withdrawal from these RCTs.

In recent years, many researchers have studied the Ki-67 index level of pituitary tumors and its relationship with demographics, biochemical parameters, clinical behavior, and recurrence rate.
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of Ki-67 index level with clinicoradiological and endocrinological parameters in confirmed GH-secreting pituitary adenomas, as well as with the surgical response and medical treatment after surgery.
Background: Nephrolithiasis is a risk factor for Osteopenia and osteoporosis. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappaB ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) regulate bone remodeling and osteoclastogenesis. This study aimed to evaluate the relation between serum OPG, RANKL concentration, and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with kidney stone disease.

This is even more challenging when considering populations consuming refined grains diets. Bread and rice are staple foods which supply main proportion of Iranian calorie intake.

Methods: Totally, 45 consecutive patients (50 limbs) were enrolled and then divided into two groups according to the healing of ulcers. The endpoints were ulcer healing and major adverse events including amputation, mortality, and cardiac or cerebral morbidities, during a six- month follow-up period.
