Coexistence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and papillary thyroid carcinoma revisited in thyroidology, an experience from an endemic region: fad or future?
Papillary thyroid carcinoma, per se, is the most common type of thyroid cancer, and Hashimoto's thyroiditis is the most frequent autoimmune disease of the papillon gland. The liaison between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and thyroid cancers is still an ongoing debate in thyroidology. The aim of the study was to discuss the frequency of the co-occurrence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis and papillary thyroid carcinoma. ⋯ A debate still remains on the propriety of these two phenomena. Herewith, we recognized a correlation between the presence of papillary thyroid carcinoma and Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Providers should be vigilant about the coexistence of these phenomena. We might postulate the so-called total thyroidectomy for cases with a cytologic diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis with a papillary thyroid carcinoma. As a matter of fact, this issue merits further investigation.

The impact of glycosylated hemoglobin and 75-g oral glucose tolerance test glucose levels on birthweight percentile.
Our research objective was to validate and contribute further evidence to the studies regarding large for gestational age and birthweight percentile by examining oral glucose tolerance test and glycosylated hemoglobin levels in both healthy women and those with gestational diabetes mellitus. ⋯ Our study has established a clear association between the birthweight percentile in male infants and the levels of glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose measured during oral glucose tolerance test. It is imperative to devise potential strategies aimed at achieving optimal glycosylated hemoglobin and fasting plasma glucose parameters to effectively reduce the frequency of large for gestational age in male infants.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of anxiety and depression on pregnancy outcome in couples receiving in vitro fertilization treatment. ⋯ Anxiety and depression had no effect on pregnancy outcome. More studies are needed to investigate the effect of anxiety and depression on pregnancy outcome in unexplained infertility.

Reduced expression of miRNAs as potential biomarkers in axial spondyloarthritis.
This study aimed to investigate the value of miR-29a-3p, miR-27a, miR126-3p, miR-146a-5p, miR-625-3p, miR-130a, miR-32, miR-218, miR-131, and miR5196 in the diagnosis of axial spondyloarthritis and to determine whether there is a difference in miRNA expression levels between radiographic axial spondyloarthritis and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis, as well as the relationship between miRNA expression levels, disease activity, and uveitis history. ⋯ Particularly, miR-27a, miR-126-3p, miR-146-5p, and miR-5196-3p were found to be substantially downregulated in both non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis and radiographic axial spondyloarthritis patients, suggesting their potential as diagnostic biomarkers for axial spondyloarthritis.

A new parameter in predicting contrast-induced nephropathy: Osaka prognostic score.
Nowadays, the frequency of complications is also increasing following the increasing frequency of coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention. Contrast-induced nephropathy is one of the most common of these complications. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the Osaka prognostic score, which has previously been shown to have prognostic importance in gastrointestinal malignancies, and the development of contrast-induced nephropathy. ⋯ Osaka prognostic score may be an easily calculable, user-friendly, and useful parameter to predict the development of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention after acute coronary syndromes.
