..We aimed to assess low-dose recombinant human thyroid-stimulating hormone (rhTSH)-aided, fixed-activity radioiodine therapy of large, multinodular goiters (MNGs) in elderly patients with comorbidities...

..In two cases, the cell features were too unique to be interpretable. Because this procedure is relatively simple, there is potential for the use of this technology as an adjunct to light microscopy in clinical and research settings...

..To survey the effect of tight glycemic control by insulin pumps, of pre-gestational Type 1 diabetic women on pregnancy outcome...

..These results demonstrate the applicability of occlusion red near-infrared spectroscopy for in vivo glucose monitoring. The technology has implications for continuous non-invasive glucose sensing...

..The means of all values of FBG and of hemoglobin A1c were significantly higher among patients with complications (n=49) than in those without (P=0.01)...

..The unilateral laparoscopic adrenalectomy was successful in controlling her hypercortisolism during the ensuing pregnancy, and might provide a valid (albeit temporary) solution in similar situations...

..It lacks sensitivity for the evaluation of individuals, where more precise measures of insulin sensitivity should be utilized...

..Conducted by highly experienced investigators with abundant time and resources, phase III studies of continuous glucose sensing (CGS) may lack generalizability to everyday clinical practice...

....

..rhTSH-aided WBS is informative and should be included in the follow-up of unselected patients with DTC...

..Insulin resistance is associated with the elevated uric acid levels found in nonproteinuric gestational hypertensive disease...

..Thus, the aim of this analysis was to assess which features and parameters of insulin pump use are associated with better glucose control...

..Post glucose-load abnormalities are more common than abnormal fasting glucose level in this situation. It is postulated that the acute stress of a coronary event may contribute to the dysglycemia...

....

..Thus, insufficient replacement may be reflected by inappropriately elevated TSH levels, and may lead to dosage increment...

..When a dosage reduction does not cause a decrease in fetal thyroid size, transplacental passage of thyroid-stimulating antibodies causing fetal thyrotoxicosis should be suspected...

..Regional differences in the spectrum of TC may be related to genetic factors, ionizing radiation, lifestyle, and nutritional iodine, as well as to the availability of medical services...

..We therefore designed the DIabetic REtinopathy Candesartan Trials (DIRECT) Programme to assess whether candesartan could reduce the incidence and progression of retinopathy in type 1 diabetes...

..This subgroup analysis investigated the initiation of once-daily glargine therapy in patients suboptimally controlled on multiple OADs...

..To determine mechanisms by which pioglitazone and metformin effect hepatic and extra-hepatic insulin action...

..To determine, based on published literature and expert clinical experience, current indications for the post-surgical administration of a large radioiodine activity in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer...

..This may explain, at least in part, the weak and at times inconsistent relationship between these parameters and cardiovascular risk...

..Diabetic retinopathy remains a leading cause of visual loss in people of working age. We examined whether candesartan treatment could slow the progression and, secondly, induce regression of retinopathy in people with type 2 diabetes...

..We sought to develop an improved protocol for the follow-up of low-risk patients with DTC based on the findings of recent studies...

..In these patients, no correlation was found between beta-cell function or insulin sensitivity and BMI. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that beta-cell function and insulin sensitivity are inversely correlated with acute psychotic stress...

..These cases attest to the importance of blood glucose awareness training in the return of diabetic patients to the cockpit...

..We also offer expanded and additional comments on various issues in the management of DTC...
