marek's disease (md) is the most common lymphoproliferative diseases of chickens; during the last year the incidence of md was  investigated among slaughter houses and suspected broiler farms, located in  isfahan (iran) as the region of  highest density of poultry husbandry by histopathology,  for subclinical md investigation, in  total 1550 chickens originated  from slaughter houses  were exam...

Background/Aims. Subclinical atherosclerosis and long-term glycemic variability have been reported to predict incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population. However, these associations have not been investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes with preserved kidney function. Methods. We prospectively followed up 162 patients with type 2 diabetes (mean age, 62.3 years; 53.6% m...

CONTEXT Previous studies have suggested that subclinical abnormalities in thyroid-stimulating hormone levels are associated with detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. OBJECTIVE To determine the relationship between baseline thyroid status and incident atrial fibrillation, incident cardiovascular disease, and mortality in older men and women not taking thyroid medication. DESIGN,...

objective: the goal of the current research was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise on c-reactive protein (crp) and lipid profile in overweight-obese women with subclinical hypothyroidism. methods: this study enrolled 23 women who suffered from subclinical hypothyroidism. patients' average age was 41.08±6.56 years and bmi was >25 kg/m2. subjects, following medical screening, were obje...

BACKGROUND Cardiovascular events (CVE) are more prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) than in general population, being the main cause of morbimortality. Specific risk factors related to CKD have been suggested, because traditional factors do not fully explain this increase in cardiovascular disease rates. However, the role of atheromatosis, its pathogenesis and evolution are still unclear....

BACKGROUND There are few data on the prevalence of low T3 (triiodothyronine) syndrome in patients with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) and it is unclear whether low T3 can be used to predict the progression of CKD. MATERIAL AND METHODS We retrospectively studied 279 patients who had been definitively diagnosed with CKD, without needing maintenance dialysis. Thyroid function was analyz...

Subclinical thyroid disease is defined biochemically by an abnormal thyrotropin (TSH) level and normal serum-free thyroxine level. The prevalence of this condition varies according to the reference range for TSH and geographic or demographic factors. Recently, several studies, including our community-based cohort studies, have reported on the incidence of subclinical thyroid disease in Korea. U...

background systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) is an autoimmune connective-tissue disease involving multiple organs and systems. some evidence has demonstrated that disease activity could be associated with increased risk of organ damage. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the association between systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (sledai) scores and subclinical c...
