Sleep Apnea in Patients with Stroke and Related Risk Factors

  Background and Objectives: Sleep apnea involves repetitive cycles of obstructive sleep that disrupt sleep. This complication is the most important modifiable risk factors for stroke. The aim of this study was to assess sleep apnea in patients with stroke.    Material and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 132 patients with stroke were recruited using convenience samplin...

Second primary cancer in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.

BACKGROUND AND AIM There is an increased incidence of secondary primary cancer (SPC) in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The risk is stronger in the first year after the first malignancy (synchronous tumours). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of SPC in patients with PTC, and to analyse whether the timing of tumour presentation influenced the clinicopathological...

Dietary patterns as risk factors of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

UNLABELLED Nutritional factors are known to be important in the development of different metabolic diseases. The history of nodular or diffuse goiter is closely related to risk of thyroid carcinoma. On account of the function of the thyroid gland, many studies focus on iodine intake. The aim of the study was to assess whether dietary patterns could be risk factors of differentiated thyroid c...

[Differentiated thyroid carcinoma: survival and prognostic factors].

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is the most common endocrine tumor. DTC has a good prognosis and survival rates higher than 85%. The aim of our study was to assess our current survival rate and to analyze prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted of 308 patients with DTC (93.5% with papillary tumors, 78.8% women). Mean age at di...
