Alcohol-Related Liver Disease as a New Risk Factor for Post-transplant Diabetes After Liver Transplantation.

Introduction: Post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) is a serious and frequent metabolic complication after the transplantation of solid organs. PTDM incidence 12 months after the transplantation is 2.5%-25%.

[Rare combination of Turner syndrome and congenital adrenal hyperplasia with 21-hydroxylase deficiency: case report].

Combination of Turner syndrome (TS) and classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is rare. Globally, the incidence of CAH, autosomal recessive disorder caused by enzyme defect of steroidogenic pathway, is very low (1 : 10 000-16 000). 90 % of CAH cases are caused by 21-hydroxylase gene mutation (CYP21A2).

The role of vaspin as a predictor of coronary angiography result in SCAD (stable coronary artery disease) patients.

Background: The role of vaspin in the pathogenesis of stable coronary artery disease (SCAD) have been repeatedly addressed in clinical studies. However, from the point of view of clinical practice, the results of earlier studies are still inconclusive.

Methods: The data of 106 SCAD patients who received coronary angiography and 85 coronary artery disease-free controls were collected and analysed.

[Parathyroid cancer].

Parathyroid cancer is a rare endocrine malignancy, representing less than 1 % of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. The exact etiology of the disease remains unknown. Known risk factors include neck irradiation, end stage renal failure, genetic factors, particularly the the HPRT2/CDCT73 gene mutation.

The Intricate Network of Adipokines and Stroke.

Cerebrovascular disorders, particularly ischemic stroke, are one of the most common neurological disorders. High rates of overweight and obesity support an interest in the role of adipose tissue and adipose tissue releasing cytokines in inducing associated comorbidities. Adipokines can serve as a key messenger to central energy homeostasis and metabolic homeostasis.
