Background: Tumor lysis syndrome caused by widespread tumor cell damage may lead to electrolyte imbalances and express as metabolic disturbance causing clinical abnormalities. Patients and Methods: All patients younger than 16 years with documented malignancy candidate for chemotherapy, in Hamedan province of Iran were enrolled. Results: Out of 69 cancer patients the laboratory form of tumor ...

Combination of metabolic abnormalities in patients with high vascular risk is well known since long time. In his Banting lecture Reaven used the term Syndrome X for the description of the coexistence of these metabolic diseases. Other names as e.g. Deadly Quartet and insulin resistance syndrome emphasised the consequences and the possible cause of this syndrome. Most of the authors accept that ...

Combination of metabolic abnormalities in patients with high vascular risk is well known since long time. In his Banting lecture Reaven used the term “Syndrome X” for the description of the coexistence of these metabolic diseases. Other names as e.g. “Deadly Quartet” and insulin resistance syndrome emphasised the consequences and the possible cause of this syndrome. Most of the authors accept t...

Nuclear receptors form a superfamily of proteins that function as ligand-activated transcription factors. One class of these receptors is hormone receptors to which steroid/thyroid hormones/retinoid bind, and thus is involved in endocrine system disorders, such as breast and prostate cancer. Another class of receptors was called orphan receptors because their ligands were unknown. Recently, the...

Metabolic syndrome is a clinical syndrome in which multiple risks are clustered in an individual and is a common basis of vascular disease in the industrial countries. Metabolic syndrome, dysmetabolic syndrome or insulinresistance syndrome (or syndrome X as it was initially designated), which is closely linked to insulin resistance, is a condition, which is recognized as raising the risk of car...

Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is an important risk factor that is associated with vitamin D deficiency, according to recent studies. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level and risk of metabolic syndrome in children in Birjand. Materials and Methods: A case-control study on 6 to 18 years old metabolic syndrome patients, this investigation was ...

Metabolic syndrome, often used synonymously with Syndrome X or Insulin resistance syndrome, is a constellation of risk factors that predisposes to an enhanced risk of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease [1]. The clustering of atleast three of five risk factors – elevated blood pressure, elevated fasting plasma glucose, high triglycerides, low HDL-cholesterol and increased waist circumfer...
