Depression, anxiety, body image scores, and sexual dysfunction in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome according to phenotypes.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been linked to both mental and metabolic disturbances. The purpose of this research was to investigate psychological features such as anxiety and depression, body image, sexual dysfunction, and associated factors among the PCOS phenotypes and to compare these with healthy controls. The study involved 167 reproductive-age women with PCOS and 73 healthy controls.

Investigation of the Relationship Between Autoimmune and Nodular Goiter in Patients with Euthyroid Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Their Phenotypes.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that frequently affects women of reproductive age. In PCOS, the incidence of thyroid diseases has increased in addition to reproductive and metabolic problems. To compare thyroid nodule, volume, autoimmunity, and thyroid function tests of euthyroid PCOS and its phenotypes.

Effects of Chronic Suppression or Oversuppression of Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone on Psychological Symptoms and Sleep Quality in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

In differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), the standard treatment includes total thyroidectomy and lifetime levothyroxine (LT4) replacement. However, long-term exogenous LT4 has become controversial due to the adverse effects of oversuppression. The study included 191 patients (aged 18-76 years) with a prospective diagnosis of non-metastatic DTC and 79 healthy individuals.

Biochemical characteristics and calcium and PTH levels of patients with high normal and elevated serum 25(OH)D levels in Turkey: DeVIT-TOX survey.

Unlabelled: Vitamin D intake over the recommended dose is usually associated with high serum 25(OH)D levels and generally not associated with symptoms of hypercalcemia. High doses of cholecalciferol need to be avoided to protect against vitamin D toxicity and related complications. Strict adherence to the clinical guidelines for treating vitamin D deficiency can ensure safe and effective treatment.

HbA1c level decreases in iron deficiency anemia.

Background: Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is the major form of glycosylated hemoglobin. There are conflicting data on changes in HbA1c levels in patients with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). The present study aimed to investigate the effects of HbA1c levels in the presence of IDA, the effects of iron treatment on HbA1c levels, as well as the relationship between the severity of anemia and HbA1c levels in patients without diabetes.

Markers of Metabolic Syndrome in Patients with Pituitary Adenoma: A Case Series of 303 Patients.

To assess the demographic characteristics and hormonal status of patients who presented to our clinic with pituitary adenoma and to demonstrate the presence, prevalence, and relationship of metabolic syndrome parameters in these patients. The study included 303 patients with known or newly diagnosed pituitary adenoma and 52 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. The patients were classified into 3 groups; acromegaly (ACRO) (n=54),prolactinoma (PRLoma) (n=163), and non-functional adenoma (NFA) (n=86).

An overlooked rheumatologic manifestation of diabetes: diabetic cheiroarthropathy.

Objectives: The objectives of the study were to analyze the clinical characteristic of diabetic cheiroarthropathy (DCA) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM), type 2 DM, and prediabetes and to evaluate the frequency of DCA among groups.

Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted at the Division of Endocrinology and Metabolism outpatient clinic over a 14-month period. A total of 239 patients (160 female, 79 male), who had type 1 DM, type 2 DM, and prediabetes, were enrolled.

Changes in urine levels of substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide and calcitonin-gene-related peptide in patients with urinary tract infections.

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are important health problems and predisposing causes of UTI are not entirely known. Neuro-immune interactions play an important role in human health and disease. Capsaicin-sensitive sensory nerves which in nerve bladder extensively regulate immune system through neuropeptides such as substance P (SP), calcitonin-gene related peptide (CGRP) and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP).
