Endothelial dysfunction in Graves' disease.

Rare association of schizophrenia and unilateral Graves’ disease with contralateral thyroid hemiagenesis in two cases of McCune-Albright syndrome

The classical triad of McCune-Albright syndrome (MAS) consists of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia (FD), skin hyperpigmentation (café-au-lait spots), and endocrine dysfunction, frequently seen in females as precocious puberty. Etiology is genetically based and is explained by mosaicism of activating somatic mutations of the alpha-subunit of Gs protein. Clinical presentation is varied and is depend...

Endothelial Progenitor Cell Dysfunction in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for The Genesis of Cardiovascular Diseases

Pulmonary Embolism in a Patient with Antiphospholipid Syndrome and Graves' Disease Antifosfolipid Sendromu ve Graves Hastal›¤› Bulunan Bir Olguda Pulmoner Emboli

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterised by tendency to thrombosis, obstetrical and hematological complications. Patients with Graves' disease (GD) may have some abnormalities of blood coagulation due to endothelial dysfunction and decreased fibrinolytic activity with a higher thromboembolic potential. In some rare cases especially in severe thrombotic states; APS ...

[Selected markers of endothelial dysfunction in patients with subclinical and overt hyperthyroidism].

INTRODUCTION There are many factors causing endothelial dysfunction. The aim was to observe chosen markers of endothelial function in patients with subclinical and overt hyperthyroidism. MATERIAL AND METHODS We studied 97 patients with hyperthyroidism: 51 with subclinical (44 F/7 M; mean age 49.3 +/- 15.9 y) and 46 patients with overt (39 F/7 M, mean age 50.4 +/- 13.2 y). The control comprise...

The Changes in the Endothelial Function and Haemostatic and Inflammatory Parameters in Subclinical and Overt Hyperthyroidism

Introduction. The aim of the present study was to compare the levels of circulating markers of endothelial function and low-grade inflammation in patients with subclinical and overt hyperthyroidism (OH) due to Graves disease (GD) and toxic nodular goiter (TNG). Material and Methods. The group studied consisted of 42 patients with GD, 75 patients with TNG, and 39 healthy controls. Results. Circu...

Cut off value of technetium uptake in the differential diagnosis of Graves, disease and subacute thyroiditis

Objective(s):The aim of this study was to determine whether technetium (99mTc) uptake is a relevant method for the differential diagnosis of Graves disease and subacute thyroiditis and calculate its cutoff value in case of its relevancy. Methods: A total of 69 patients, who were followed up (>3 months) in our hospital for thyrotoxi...
