Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess the endocrine responses of COVID-19 patients at Hayatabad Medical Complex, focusing on hormone levels and clinical outcomes.
- The research included 66 patients, predominantly aged around 54, and highlighted that 75% had mild illness while 20% faced mortality during their hospital stay.
- Key findings indicated elevated cortisol levels in 94% of patients and suppressed thyroid hormones in 25%, suggesting significant hormonal changes correlated with the severity of COVID-19 infection.
Article Synopsis
- * A three-year retrospective analysis included patients who had parathyroidectomy, documenting the imaging results from US and 99m-Tc Sestamibi scan and comparing them with surgical findings.
- * Results showed that while the sensitivity of US was 77%, the 99m-Tc Sestamibi scan had a higher sensitivity of 89.5%, indicating that combining both imaging methods enhances the accuracy of adenoma localization for surgery.
Objectives: This study was aimed to determine the various factors which could serve as predictor of saving of lower limb from amputation in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU).
Method: This three-year retrospective study was conducted in the Diabetes and Endocrinology Unit of Hayatabad Medical complex Peshawar, Pakistan.
