HETEROKARYOTIC MONOZYGOTIC TURNER TWINS: AN INTERESTING PRESENTATION
Turner syndrome is the most common sex chromosomal abnormality in about 1:2000-2500 live female births. While short stature and delayed puberty are the most common presentations of patients, atypical findings can also be seen. In this article, we present the Turner twins, who were diagnosed during inguinal hernia surgery when bilateral uterus and ovaries were found within the hernia sac. To the best of our knowledge, our cases were the first defined heterokaryotic monozygotic twins with isochromosome Xq 46,X,i(X)(q10) and Xq mosacism (46,X,i(X)(q10;q10)[42]/47,X,i(X)(q10;q10)x2[8]).
SYSTEMIC INFLAMMATORY MARKERS - PROGNOSTIC VALUE IN OVARIAN CANCER
Chronic inflammation is associated with different cancers, and is identified as a key pathogenic mechanism in ovarian cancer. The purpose of our study was to evaluate systemic inflammation markers, as predictive and prognostic factors, in ovarian cancer patients with initial surgical treatment.
PHARMACOVIGILANCE AND KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE, AND PRACTICE STUDY ON ANTI-DIABETIC MEDICATIONS IN GERIATRIC CLINICS AT A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
Diabetes mellitus, a chronic metabolic disorder stemming from pancreatic dysfunction, is surging in India, notably among those aged 60 and above. The escalating disease prevalence in this demographic necessitates heightened medication use, escalating the risk of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). This underscores the vital role of ADR monitoring to curtail potential harm.
ENDOCRINOLOGICAL AND GYNECOLOGICAL PARAMETERS IN ASSESSING INFERTILITY AT REPRODUCTIVE AGE
Infertility is a very discussed problem in many endocrinological and gynecological courses and congresses. In a rapidly revolving environment women tend to postpone pregnancy to have security in their financial life and career.We discuss primary and secondary infertility and the hormonal results in women that presented for a desire to conceive with their partner.Infertility is considered to have many causes and annual follow-up is important, especially in women with no children and a stable partner.Hormonal parameters are often not recommended until late after 30 years of age, in women who adress routine consultations and should be considered much early on in their reproductive life, especially in women with familly history of premature menopause.
SHORT HISTORY OF OBESITY
Obesity epidemic, developed in recent decades with global dissemination, brings scientific interest in causes and consequences for mankind. It is of interest whether obesity existed under different, non-obesogenic environments in ancient time. There is evidence for particular obesity existence in artefacts and pictures from caves, originated in ancient times. Human female figurines from Stone Age that represent obesity were discovered in different countries indicating that some form of obesity existed 30.000 years ago. It is supposed that most of these figures represent in some way "Mother of Goddess " connected with fertility. Records from Ancient Egyptian and Biblical eras through Greco-Roman to Medieval times indicate that obesity was present throughout peoples of previous centuries in history, although peoples of previous centuries would probably have experienced overweight and obesity as exceptional rather than normal.
EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT OF PARATHYROID INCIDENTALOMAS DETECTED BY ROUTINE NECK ULTRASONOGRAPHY WITH A MULTIDISCIPLINARY CLINICAL APPROACH
Detection of parathyroid incidentalomas (PTIs) by ultrasonography (US) generally depends on clinical experience and it can be usually confused with perithyroidal lymph nodes.
THE USE OF ORAL BISPHOSPHONATES IN REFRACTORY SEVERE HYPERCALCEMIA AFTER DENOSUMAB CESSATION
Denosumab,a monoclonal IgG2 antibody directed against RANK-L,is used as a neoadjuvant therapy for inoperable or metastatic giant cell tumor of bone. Many side effects like as hypocalcemia during treatment and rarely severe hypercalcemia especially in children after discontinuation of denosumab occurred. The unpredictable onset and recurrent episodes of severe hypercalcemia increase the duration of hospitalization and the risk of complications. Persistent hypercalcemia and difficulties in management have prompted the search for different more effective therapeutic options.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY DETECTING OF THYROID DYSFUNCTION DURING PREGNANCY AND ASSOCIATION WITH GESTATIONAL DIABETES MELLITUS
Thyroid dysfunction represents common disorder occurring very frequently among women of reproductive age, including pregnancy. The aim of this literature review was to determine in which way thyroid function during pregnancy is associated with GDM.
PARATHYROID CANCER: REVIEW OF UNCOMMON DISEASE
Parathyroid cancer is an uncommon endocrine malignancy. It has slow clinical course and low malignancy potential. It represents 1% of primary hyperparathyroidism. It results with more agrressive biological behaviour and severe clinical condition than benign reasons. Extended resection in the first operation is essential for PC treatment and decreases local recurrence that is observed in high frequency. Palliative surgery should be considered in patients with unresectable tumor. Immunotherapy and recent interventional radiological procedures are considered for patients that are unfit to surgery. Effect of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is limited however recent immunization studies are promising. Parathyroid cancer epidemiology, staging system, diagnosis and advancements in treatment are considered according to recent literature in this review.
PREDICTORS OF TSH NORMALIZATION IN THYROTOXICOSIS PATIENTS AFTER TREATMENT
Understanding factors delaying recovery in thyrotoxicosis patients is crucial for optimizing treatment plan.
URINARY BLADDER PARAGANGLIOMA- A NOTEWORTHY, RARE ENTITY
Urinary Bladder paraganglioma accounts for 0.06% of all bladder tumors and 1% of all pheochromocytoma. Most tumors are localized at the dome or trigone and are unifocal. The presenting complaints are painless hematuria, micturition syncope. It may be sporadic or associated with hereditary predisposition syndromes such as Hereditary Paraganglioma-Pheochromocytoma Syndrome.
ONCOCYTIC VARIANT OF MEDULLARY CARCINOMA THYROID - A RARE ENTITY
THE MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS IN DIABETIC PATIENTS AND THE EVALUATION OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH METABOLIC PARAMETERS AND MICROVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS
Diabetes mellitus has been associated with many different musculoskeletal system problems.
SPATIAL MEMORY RECOVERY IN AGED MALE RATS TREATED WITH LEUPROLIDE ACETATE, A GNRH AGONIST
Studies indicate a decrease in spatial memory across species as they age. Moreover, consistent administration of Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) improves learning abilities in older rats that have undergone gonadectomy.
SWEET'S SYNDROME ASSOCIATED WITH PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA: A RARE CASE REPORT AND REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Sweet's syndrome (SS) or acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis is a dermatological illness that can be described by tender erythematous plaques or nodules and acute onset fever. The etiology is multifactorial and is not fully understood. SS is separated in three subclasses: classical, malignancy-associated, and drug-induced. It was shown that this syndrome can reveal an underlying hematological or solid malignancy.
