Background The prevalence of hyponatremia is highly variable among lung cancer patients. It is also an important predictive factor, according to numerous studies. However, its prevalence and prognostic significance in subgroups of lung cancer patients, e.g. in small cell and non-small cell lung cancers (SCLC and NSCLC, respectively), have not yet been evaluated in a meta-analysis.Methods We report this systematic review and meta-analysis according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2009) Statement. We have registered our meta-analysis and review’s protocol to the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, with the following registration number: CRD42020167013. A systematic search was done in the following sources: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, a WHO Global Health Library. We extracted the effect measure for each outcome as the relative risk (RR) with the related 95% confidence interval (CI). Results We identified a total of 8127 potentially eligible studies and we included 25 studies in our evaluation. The prevalence of hyponatremia in lung cancer patients varied between 3% and 56.1% with an average of 23% without any significant differences between the following subgroups: cancer type (p=0.780), gender (p=0.223), age (p=0.773), ECOG state (p=0.317) and the extent of disease (p=0.999). Hyponatremia was more consistently an independent prognostic factor in NSCLC than in SCLC. The overall survival (OS) was significantly lower in hyponatremic compared to normonatremic patients at 10 months (RR: 0.59, 95% CI, 0.47 to 0.74, pConclusions Low serum sodium levels have a negative impact on mortality at 10 and 20 months, which is more pronounced among NSCLC patients. The correction of hyponatremia has a positive effect on OS rates at 10 months, but this advantage disappears by 20 months.

Background: Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at increased risk for heart failure (HF), particularly those with coexisting atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease. Some but not all dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors have been associated with increased HF risk. We performed secondary analyses of HF and related outcomes with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin versus placebo in CARMELINA (The Cardiovascular and Renal Microvascular Outcome Study With Linagliptin), a cardiovascular outcomes trial that enrolled participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease. Methods: Participants in 27 countries with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease were randomized 1:1 to receive once daily oral linagliptin 5 mg or placebo, on top of standard of care. All hospitalization for HF (hHF), cardiovascular outcomes, and deaths were prospectively captured and centrally adjudicated. In prespecified and post hoc analyses of HF and related events, Cox proportional hazards models adjusting for region and baseline history of HF were used. Recurrent hHF events were analyzed using a negative binomial model. In a subset of participants with left ventricular ejection fraction captured within the year before randomization, HF-related outcomes were assessed in subgroups stratified by left ventricular ejection fraction > or 50%. Results: CARMELINA enrolled 6979 participants (mean age, 65.9 years; estimated glomerular filtration rate, mL/min per 1.73m(2); hemoglobin A1c, 8.0%; 62.9% men; diabetes mellitus duration, 14.8 years), including 1873 (26.8%) with a history of HF at baseline. Median follow-up was 2.2 years. Linagliptin versus placebo did not affect the incidence of hHF (209/3494 [6.0%] versus 226/3485 [6.5%], respectively; hazard ratio [HR], 0.90; 95% CI, 0.74-1.08), the composite of cardiovascular death/hHF (HR, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.82-1.08), or risk for recurrent hHF events (326 versus 359 events, respectively; rate ratio, 0.94; 95% CI, 0.75-1.20). There was no heterogeneity of linagliptin effects on hHF by history of HF at baseline, baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate or urine albumin-creatinine ratio, or prerandomization left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusions: In a large, international cardiovascular outcome trial in participants with type 2 diabetes mellitus and concomitant atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and/or kidney disease, linagliptin did not affect the risk of hHF or other selected HF-related outcomes, including among participants with and without a history of HF, across the spectrum of kidney disease, and independent of previous left ventricular ejection fraction.

- Abstract
IMPORTANCE Type 2 diabetes is associated with increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. Prior trials have demonstrated CV safety of 3 dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors but have included limited numbers of patients with high CV risk and chronic kidney disease. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of linagliptin, a selective DPP-4 inhibitor, on CV outcomes and kidney outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk of CV and kidney events. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter noninferiority trial conducted from August 2013 to August 2016 at 605 clinic sites in 27 countries among adults with type 2 diabetes, hemoglobin A(1c) of 6.5% to 10.0%, high CV risk (history of vascular disease and urine-albumin creatinine ratio [UACR] > 200mg/g), and high renal risk (reduced eGFR and micro-or macroalbuminuria). Participants with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were excluded. Final follow-up occurred on January 18, 2018. INTERVENTIONS Patients were randomized to receive linagliptin, 5 mg once daily (n = 3494), or placebo once daily (n = 3485) added to usual care. Other glucose-lowering medications or insulin could be added based on clinical need and local clinical guidelines. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES Primary outcomewas time to first occurrence of the composite of CV death, nonfatalmyocardial infarction, or nonfatal stroke. Criteria for noninferiority of linagliptin vs placebo was defined by the upper limit of the 2-sided 95% CI for the hazard ratio (HR) of linagliptin relative to placebo being less than 1.3. Secondary outcome was time to first occurrence of adjudicated death due to renal failure, ESRD, or sustained 40% or higher decrease in eGFR from baseline. RESULTS Of 6991 enrollees, 6979 (mean age, 65.9 years; eGFR, 54.6 mL/min/1.73m2; 80.1% with UACR > 30mg/g) received at least 1 dose of study medication and 98.7% completed the study. During a median follow-up of 2.2 years, the primary outcome occurred in 434 of 3494 (12.4%) and 420 of 3485 (12.1%) in the linagliptin and placebo groups, respectively, (absolute incidence rate difference, 0.13 [95% CI,-0.63 to 0.90] per 100 person-years) (HR, 1.02; 95% CI, 0.89-1.17; P

Statins are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in clinical practice. They are usually well tolerated and effectively prevent cardiovascular events. Most adverse effects associated with statin therapy are muscle-related. The recent statement of the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) has focused on statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), and avoided the use of the term 'statin intolerance'. Although muscle syndromes are the most common adverse effects observed after statin therapy, excluding other side effects might underestimate the number of patients with statin intolerance, which might be observed in 10 - 15% of patients. In clinical practice, statin intolerance limits effective treatment of patients at risk of, or with, cardiovascular disease. Knowledge of the most common adverse effects of statin therapy that might cause statin intolerance and the clear definition of this phenomenon is crucial to effectively treat patients with lipid disorders. Therefore, the aim of this position paper was to suggest a unified definition of statin intolerance, and to complement the recent EAS statement on SAMS, where the pathophysiology, diagnosis and the management were comprehensively presented.

- Abstract
Complex
99m Tc/131I diagnostic and131 I therapy program package has been created for InterViewXP™ DICOM version in order to extend the versatility of Nucline™ TH dedicated thyroid camera. The fundament of therapy dose calculation is the thyroid mass estimation and iodine uptake determination. Geometry (lobes, nodules area and shapes) of the high quality thyroid scintigraphy —99m Tc/131I — with well calibrated pixel-size provides the way of mass estimation. Most of the publication based estimation methods are built in the system by user definable way. More possibilities are available for iodine uptake determination too. Camera and ROI based method as well as single detector based uptake evaluations are available. The user may link together these procedures into a single clinical program. Even though, one of the menu selectable therapy calculations may up-link to the diagnostic procedure creating the complex therapy and diagnostic frame work. These algorithms widely cover the current possibilities of thyroid diagnostic and therapy [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

- Abstract
Aim: A total of 154 patients with hyperthyroidism received 161 individually calculated radioiodine treatments between October 2004 and December 2005. M/F ratio was 25/129, age distribution: 26-87 years, mean age: 60 years. Forty-six patients had toxic adenoma, 25 patients were treated with toxic multinodular goiter, 83 patients with Graves’ disease. Material and methods: The target dose was calculated according to the etiology of hyperthyroidism: 350 Gy in toxic adenoma, 150 Gy in toxic multinodular goiter and 70–100 Gy in Graves’ disease depending on the size and nodularity of the thyroid. The estimate of the thyroid mass was based on the scintigraphy, the calculation of the biological half life was simplified by the late iodine uptake (7. day) measurement, according to the previous investigations. The activity of radioiodine was calculated by the following formula: 3.5 x thyroid mass (g) x target dose (Gy)/ /late iodine uptake (%). Results: The average radioiodine dose was 378 MBq (min. 100, max. 1180, 1. quartilis 230, median 340, 3. quartilis 500 MBq). Six and 12 months after the treatment, follow-up data were available in 91% and 83% of patients, respectively. The hypothyroidism/euthyroidism/hyperthyroidism ratio was 23/51/26% 6 months and 22/49/16% 12 months after the radioiodine treatment. Eighteen hyperthyroid patients at the 6-month follow-up were selected for a second radioiodine treatment, these patients were not evaluated during the 12-month control. According to the etiology of thyrotoxicosis, the distribution of hypo/eu/hyperthyroidism at the 6-month followup was 11/80/9% in toxic adenoma, 5/52/43% in toxic multinodular goiter, 35/35/ /30% in Graves’ disease, respectively. Conclusion: Our dose-calculation method resulted in excellent success rate in toxic adenomas, good success rate in Graves’ disease even in international comparison but the results were not satisfactory in toxic multinodular goiters. Difficulties to determine the targeted thyroid mass in this entity may be responsible for the treatment failure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aim: Cushing's syndrome due to ectopic ACTH secretion is difficult to diagnose and treat. Up to 80% of ectopic ACTH-producing tumors have somatostatin receptors, therefore 111-In-octreotide scintigraphy is a useful method in the diagnosis of this disease. Material and methods: A 43-year-old woman was investigated with severe Cushing's syndrome of two years duration. The ACTH was moderately elevated (150–250 pg/ /ml), 2-d small dose dexamethasone suppression test was positive, however, 2-d high dose dexamethasone test showed suppressible cortisol level. Inferior petrosal sinus sampling (repeated twice) supported ectopic ACTH production, no response to CRH stimulation was detected. Pitutitary MRI (twice), chest CT scan (three times), chest MRI, abdominal CT scan (twice) failed to localize the source of ACTH secretion. Octreotide scintigraphy performed in another institute one year ago was also negative. Calcitonin, urine catecholamines and urine 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid measurements gave negative results. Result: The localization of the tumor was attempted repeatedly by octreotide scintigraphy. Anterior and posterior chest and abdominal static and SPECT images were performed 24 and 48 hours after the injection of 111-In-octreotide. A very intensive uptake was found in the left side of the mediastinum in both time. Abdominal examination did not reveal any abnormality. The tumor was removed during chest surgery. The histological diagnosis was typical bronchial carcinoid tumor with intense ACTH positivity. Conclusion: This case indicates that 111-In-octreotide scintigraphy could be successfully used to identify and localize ectopic ACTH-producing bronchial carcinoids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Aim: To compare the efficacy and safety of recombinant human TSH (rhTSH) to the conventional remnant ablation with thyroxine withdrawal in patients with thyroid cancer. Material and methods: High-dose ablation (3700 MBq) of thyroid remnant was performed in 32 patient from January 2006, with rhTSH in 12 patients (2 men, 10 women, 46 years, 23–63), and conventional protocol in 20 patients (2 men, 18 women, 48 yeras, 16–76). TSH and thyroblobulin (Tg) levels were measured before and after the ablation. Whole-body (5 cm/min) and anterior jugular scans (100 k) were established in all patients 6 days after the treatment. The counts/million (C) of the whole-body scan and C/Tg (before treatment) rate was calculated. The enhancement of the radioiodine in the remnant and in other localization was observed on both imaging. Results: The C/Tg ratio was higher in the patients prepared with rhTSH (0.33/0.10, p £ 0.05) whereas the whole-body C value was lower (0.18/0.71, p £ 0.05) comparing to the patients with conventional therapy. Remnant thyroid activity was found in 27 patients, iodine enhancement in other localization was found in 11 patients, at whom CT examinations were performed, too. Conclusions: 1. The rhTSH-prepared patients maintained a higher quality of life during the ablation. 2. The radiation exposure to the blood is less while the efficacy of the treatment is equally good. 3. The whole-body and jugular scans are very useful in the investigation of thyroid remnant and metastases in the region of neck and chest, however it can be evaluated with caution in the abdominal region.

Background The European Atherosclerosis Society Familial Hypercholesterolaemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC) global registry provides a platform for the global surveillance of familial hypercholesterolaemia through harmonisation and pooling of multinational data. In this study, we aimed to characterise the adult population with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia and described how it is detected and managed globally. Methods Using FHSC global registry data, we did a cross-sectional assessment of adults (aged 18 years or older) with a clinical or genetic diagnosis of probable or definite heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia at the time they were entered into the registries. Data were assessed overall and by WHO regions, sex, and index versus non-index cases. Findings Of the 61 612 individuals in the registry, 42 167 adults (21 999 [53.6%] women) from 56 countries were included in the study. Of these, 31 798 (75.4%) were diagnosed with the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network criteria, and 35 490 (84.2%) were from the WHO region of Europe. Median age of participants at entry in the registry was 46.2 years (IQR 34.3-58.0); median age at diagnosis of familial hypercholesterolaemia was 44.4 years (32.5-56.5), with 40.2% of participants younger than 40 years when diagnosed. Prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors increased progressively with age and varied by WHO region. Prevalence of coronary disease was 17.4% (2.1% for stroke and 5.2% for peripheral artery disease), increasing with concentrations of untreated LDL cholesterol, and was about two times lower in women than in men. Among patients receiving lipid-lowering medications, 16 803 (81.1%) were receiving statins and 3691 (21.2%) were on combination therapy, with greater use of more potent lipid-lowering medication in men than in women. Median LDL cholesterol was 5.43 mmol/L (IQR 4.32-6.72) among patients not taking lipid-lowering medications and 4.23 mmol/L (3.20-5.66) among those taking them. Among patients taking lipid-lowering medications, 2.7% had LDL cholesterol lower than 1.8 mmol/L; the use of combination therapy, particularly with three drugs and with proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin type 9 inhibitors, was associated with a higher proportion and greater odds of having LDL cholesterol lower than 1.8 mmol/L. Compared with index cases, patients who were non-index cases were younger, with lower LDL cholesterol and lower prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular diseases (all p, Pfizer Independent Grant for Learning Change [16157823]; Amgen; Merck Sharp Dohme; Sanofi-Aventis; Daiichi Sankyo; Regeneron; National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Imperial Biomedical Research Centre, UK; NIHR; Czech Ministry of Health [NU20-02-00261]; Canadian Institutes of Health Research; Austrian Heart Foundation; Tyrolean Regional Government; Gulf Heart Association, The EAS FHSC is an academic initiative that has received funding from a Pfizer Independent Grant for Learning & Change 2014 (16157823) and from investigator-initiated research grants to the European Atherosclerosis Society-Imperial College London from Amgen, Merck Sharp & Dohme, Sanofi-Aventis, Daiichi Sankyo, and Regeneron.

- Abstract
Background/Objectives : A significant gap exists between guideline recommendations and everyday practice. Stringent treatment is needed for vulnerable patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods : Data on the lipid-lowering therapy (LLT), including the adherence, persistence, and mortality of patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery in Hungary in 2018 were followed up and analyzed based on the National Health Insurance Fund database until the end of 2020. Results : A total of 12,997 patients underwent revascularization for ACS in 2018, whose discharge therapy included any LLT, a high- or moderate-intensity statin, or ezetimibe at a proportion of 91%, 75%, 12%, and 4%, respectively. By the end of the observation period, the frequency of ezetimibe administration increased to 11%. Persistence decreased, reaching 50% for all therapeutic regimens by month 16. Patients on moderate statin doses had a significantly higher mortality rate at the end of follow-up than those receiving high-intensity statin with (20% vs. 9%, p < 0.0001) or without (20% vs. 14%, p = 0.00029) ezetimibe. Those taking less potent statin doses had higher rates of comorbidities; for example, a minimum of three comorbidities were present in 39% of patients taking medium statin doses and 23% among those on high-intensity statin therapy ( p < 0.0001). Conclusions : LLT persistence decreased during follow-up. The administration of a higher-intensity lipid-lowering regimen was associated with better persistence and adherence, along with more favorable mortality rates. Multimorbidity was associated with the use of lower statin doses. The results suggest that more attention is needed in terms of lipid control of females, elderly people, and individuals with several comorbidities, and emphasis should be placed on improving persistence and increasing the frequency of combined LLT prescriptions.

- Abstract
Background: The purpose of our work was to provide a data-driven perspective to APS, a complex autoimmune disorder, supplementing traditional clinical observations., Methods: Medical records of 7559 patients were analyzed, autoimmune origin was proved in 3180 cases of which 380 (12%) had APS. Associations of component disorders were investigated by computational methods to reveal typical patterns of disease development., Results: Twenty-eight distinct autoimmune disorders were diagnosed forming 113 combinations. The 10 most frequent combinations were responsible for 51,3% of cases. HT and GD were differentiated as main cornerstones of APS, sharing several comorbidities. HT was the most common manifestation (67.4%), followed by GD (26.8%) and T1D (20.8%). APS started significantly earlier in men than in women. Thyroid autoimmunity was frequently linked to gastrointestinal and systemic manifestations and these patterns of associations substantially differed from that of T1D, AD or CeD when present as first manifestations, suggesting the possibility of a common biological cause., Conclusion: APS is more frequent than reported. Classifying APS requires a shift of perspective towards disease associations rather than disorder prevalence., (© The Author(s) 2024.

- Abstract
Background: The adrenocortical system and copeptin as prognostic markers were intensively investigated in critical illness. The potential predictive power of apelin-13 as a biomarker is largely unknown. We aimed to investigate the prognostic role of apelin-13 in relation to free cortisol, aldosterone, CRH, and copeptin in critically ill patients., Methods: In this prospective observational study, 124 critically ill patients (64 men, 60 women, median age: 70 (59-78) years) were consecutively enrolled at the time of admission. All routinely available clinical and laboratory parameters were evaluated and correlated to hormonal changes., Results: Serum apelin-13 was 1161 (617-2967) pg/mL in non-survivors vs. 2477 (800-3531) pg/mL in survivors ( p = 0.054). The concentrations of apelin-13 and CRH had strong positive correlations (r = 0.685, p < 0.001) and were significantly higher in surviving non-septic patients (Apelin-13 (pg/mL): 2286 (790-3330) vs. 818 (574-2732) p < 0.05; CRH (pg/mL) 201 (84-317) vs. 89 (74-233) p < 0.05). Apelin-13 and free cortisol were independent determinants of survival in the multivariate Cox regression analysis, while copeptin, CRH, or aldosterone were not., Conclusions: Beyond free cortisol, serum apelin-13 may also help refine prognostic predictions in the early phase of critical illness, especially in non-septic patients.

- Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the complex interactions of thyroid hormone, apelin, and copeptin in the fluid-ion homeostasis of patients with severe transitory hypothyroidism., Methods: In this prospective observational study, 39 patients (ECOG: 0; 11 men, 28 women, mean age: 50.3 ± 14.9 years) were investigated during short-term severe hypothyroidism due to surgical removal of the thyroid gland and after adequate thyroid replacement therapy. In addition to the routinely available lab tests, copeptin and apelin levels were determined using ELISA., Results: In the hypothyroid state, apelin concentration was lower, while copeptin levels did not differ compared to the euthyroid condition. Apelin showed a positive correlation with copeptin ( p = 0.003), sodium ( p = 0.002), NT-proBNP ( p < 0.001), and fT4 ( p < 0.001) and a negative correlation with thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) ( p < 0.001). In multivariate linear regression models, copeptin and TSH proved to be significant independent predictors of apelin levels, of which TSH had an explanatory power of 48.7%. Aside from apelin, copeptin only correlated with sodium ( p = 0.046). Sodium levels were negatively associated with TSH ( p = 0.004) and positively with ACTH ( p = 0.002) and cortisol ( p = 0.047), in addition to copeptin. None of the parameters were independent predictors of serum sodium levels in a multivariate regression model., Conclusions: In short-term severe hypothyroidism, serum apelin level is markedly decreased, which may predispose susceptible patients to hyponatremia, while the level of copeptin is unchanged. TSH and copeptin are independent predictors of apelin concentration, of which TSH is stronger., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2022 Gergics, Pham-Dobor, Horváth-Szalai, Kőszegi, Mezősi and Bajnok.)

- Abstract
Paragangliomas are mostly benign tumors originating from the sympathetic or parasympathetic ganglions, but malignant forms are also known. They are in the region of the head and neck, in the glomus caroticum, intra-abdominally as well as in the thorax. The investigation of the 39-year-old male patient began due to extremely high blood pressure, night sweats and a 10 kg weight loss. Chest CT scan described a huge mass in the right hilum, bronchoscopic sampling was inconclusive. Tumor biopsy was performed through right thoracotomy, but complete resection was not possible due to tissue adhesions and cardiac involvement. Histological examination verified paraganglioma, which was also confirmed by laboratory tests. Accordingly, somatostatin analog therapy was initiated, followed by I-131-MIBG treatment with good clinical effect. Coronary angiography confirmed that the right coronary artery contributed with two marginal branches to the blood supply of the thoracic mass. The tumor was successfully removed and after the cardio-thoracic surgery, the patient's antihypertensive therapy was stopped. There was no sign of relapse during follow-ups. During the medical investigation of severe blood pressure elevations, the possibility of paraganglioma should be considered. In these cases, invasive procedures, if not preceded by proper medication, can be fatal. By taking advantage of the ever-expanding therapeutic options and the cooperation between institutions, even patients with a giant paraganglioma can become tumor-free.

- Abstract
Background: The prevalence of hyponatremia is highly variable among patients with lung cancer. However, its prevalence and prognostic significance in subgroups of patients with lung cancer have not yet been evaluated in a meta-analysis. Methods: We have registered our meta-analysis and review protocol to the PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews, with the following registration number: CRD42020167013. A systematic search was done in the following sources: MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Web of Science, ClinicalTrials.gov, a WHO Global Health Library. Results: We identified a total of 8,962 potentially eligible studies, and we included 31 articles in our evaluation. The prevalence of hyponatremia in patients with lung cancer varied between 3 and 94.8% with an average of 25% without any significant differences between the following subgroups: histotype, gender, age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) state, and the extent of disease. The overall survival (OS) was significantly lower in hyponatremic compared to normonatremic patients at 10 months [RR.59 (95% CI.47-0.74), p < 0.001] and at 20 months [RR.44 (95% CI.33-0.59), p < 0.001], with worse survival rates in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) [RR.27 (95% CI.12-0.44), p < 0.001] than in small cell lung cancer (SCLC) [RR.42 (95% CI.27-0.57), p < 0.001]. If hyponatremia was corrected, OS at 10 months was significantly higher than in the uncorrected hyponatremia group [RR 1.83 (95% CI 1.37-2.44), p < 0.001], but, at 20 months, no statistically significant difference could be found between these subgroups [RR 2.65 (95% CI.94-7.50), p = 0.067]. Conclusions: Patients with lung cancer diagnosed with hyponatremia, especially patients with NSCLC, seem to have significantly lower survival rates than normonatremic patients. If hyponatremia remains uncorrected, the mortality rates might be even higher., Competing Interests: The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest., (Copyright © 2021 Bartalis, Gergics, Tinusz, Földi, Kiss, Németh, Solymár, Szakács, Hegyi, Mezösi and Bajnok.)

- Abstract
Thyroglobulin (Tg) is the most important tumor marker in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The aim of this study was to assess the diagnostic and prognostic roles of postoperative stimulated and postablative lowest, highest, and one-year non-stimulated Tg values obtained during the follow-up of patients with DTC. In this retrospective study, 222 radioiodine-treated, anti-thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb)-negative DTC patients having at least 9 months' follow-up time were included (172 papillary and 50 follicular cancers; median age: 48 (from 15 to 91) years; female-male ratio: 158/64; median (quartiles) follow-up time: 54 (22-97) months). The 2015 American Thyroid Association guidelines were applied as criteria of the therapeutic response. Postoperative stimulated Tg values had significantly lower diagnostic accuracy than any of the non-stimulated postablative Tg values. One-year non-stimulated Tg had excellent prognostic value for structural disease: a cut-off value of 0.85 ng/mL had an 88.1% diagnostic accuracy. If the Tg value did not decrease below 0.75 ng/mL at any time during follow-up, the risk of residual disease was 25 times higher. The highest non-stimulated Tg during follow-up was the best predictor of residual disease (e.g., a Tg value exceeding 7.7 ng/mL indicated a 30-fold increase in risk). Non-stimulated Tg values measured during follow-up have excellent diagnostic accuracy to predict structural disease in DTC patients. The risk classification of a patient can safely be modified based on even a single Tg measurement.

- Abstract
The correlation between cholesterol and risk reduction is unique: no J curve is seen even at extreme low levels. According to PRECISE-IVUS, the effect of intensive cholesterol lowering on plaque regression is more pronounced post-myocardial infarction syndrome than in chronic coronary disease. The importance of LDL-C lowering with ezetimibe in IMPROVE-IT (1.4 mmol/L compared to 1.8 mmol/L in the statin monotherapy arm) is expressed in several international guidelines and the indication spectrum of combination cholesterol lowering has broadened and strengthened. There is a strong evidence that myalgia during statin treatment is generally not caused by statins and it is not related to type or dose of the drug. With patience, the majority of patients can be made to become statin takers even with good quality of life; for those who cannot, ezetimibe monotherapy can be an alternative. Even though intensive cholesterol lowering is safe, avoiding statin myopathy should be emphasized. Despite the outstanding efficacy and safety of cholesterol lowering, Hungarian statin sales have decreased recently, in which driven dilettante public climate around the products may be of utmost importance. Everyone of us should counteract this according to the possibilities. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(32): 1303-1309.

- Abstract
Introduction and Aim: The worldwide incidence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) has markedly increased during the last few decades. According to the international guidelines, principles of DTC management are in transformation. The aim of our work was to evaluate patients' current likelihood of recovery., Method: Data of 380 patients treated between 1/Jan/2005 and 1/May/2016 at the PTE KK Ist Department of Internal Medicine were retrospectively analyzed. Female/male ratio was 306/74. Median age at diagnosis was 46 years (13-86 years), while median follow-up time was 55 months (0-144 months). Response to therapy was evaluable in 337 patients. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS (version 22.0)., Results: Based on the prevalence of papillary (PTC) and follicular (FTC) carcinomas (79/21%), moderate iodine deficiency has to be considered in this region. PTC patients were significantly younger and were diagnosed in earlier tumor stage. The ratio of lymph node and distant metastases was 35%/4% in PTC and 15%/14% in FTC. Radioiodine treatment was performed in a total of 542 times. 264 patients with PTC were followed up. 59% of patients were tumor-free, in 20% uncertain response, in 7% incomplete biochemical response, in 14% incomplete structural response were diagnosed and 6 patients died. Patients with FTC (n = 73) were tumor-free in 59%, uncertain response was found in 10%, incomplete structural response was diagnosed in 31%, while 10% of the patients died., Conclusions: In summary, although DTC has a favorable prognosis, in 31% of FTC patients and in 14% of PTC patients, tumor-free status was not achieved. During the median 55-month follow-up period, the disease-specific mortality was 10% in FTC and 2% in PTC. Orv Hetil. 2018; 159(22): 878-887.

- Abstract
Objective: SPECT/CT has numerous advantages over planar and traditional SPECT images. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of post-radioiodine therapy SPECT/CT of patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) in early risk classification and in prediction of late prognosis., Patients and Methods: 323 consecutive patients were investigated after their first radioiodine treatment (1100-3700 MBq). Both whole body scan and SPECT/CT images of the head, neck, chest and abdomen regions were taken 4-6 days after radioiodine therapy. Patients were re-evaluated 9-12 months later as well as at the end of follow up (median 37 months)., Results: Post-radioiodine therapy SPECT/CT showed metastases in 22% of patients. Lymph node, lung and bone metastases were detected in 61, 13 and 5 patients, respectively, resulting in early reclassification of 115 cases (36%). No evidence of disease was found in 251 cases at 9-12 months after radioiodine treatment and 269 patients at the end of follow-up. To predict residual disease at the end of follow-up, the sensitivities, specificities and diagnostic accuracies of the current risk classification systems and SPECT/CT were: ATA: 77%, 47% and 53%; ETA: 70%, 62% and 64%; SPECT/CT: 61%, 88% and 83%, respectively. There was no difference between cohorts of the two institutions when data were analyzed separately., Conclusions: Based on our bi-institutional experience, the accuracy of post-radioiodine SPECT/CT outweighs that of the currently used ATA and ETA risk classification systems in the prediction of long-term outcome of DTC., Competing Interests: CONFLICTS OF INTEREST The authors declare that they have no conflicts of interest.

- Abstract
Objective: Growth hormone (GH) replacement therapy currently requires daily injections, which may cause distress and low compliance. C-terminal peptide (CTP)-modified growth hormone (MOD-4023) is being developed as a once-weekly dosing regimen in patients with GH deficiency (GHD). This study's objective is to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and efficacy of MOD-4023 administered once-weekly in GHD adults., Design: 54 adults with GHD currently treated with daily GH were normalized and randomized into 4 weekly dosing cohorts of MOD-4023 at 18.5%, 37%, 55.5% or 123.4% of individual cumulative weekly molar hGH dose. The study included 2 stages: Stage A assessed the effectiveness and PK/PD profiles of the 4 dosing regimens of MOD-4023. Stage B was an extension period of once-weekly MOD-4023 administration (61.7% molar hGH content) to collect further safety data and confirm the results from Stage A., Results: Dose-dependent response was observed for both PK and PD data of weekly MOD-4023 treatment. Insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) SDS levels were maintained within normal range. The 18.5% cohort was discontinued due to low efficacy. MOD-4023 was well tolerated and exhibited favorable safety profile in all dose cohorts. The reported adverse events were consistent with known GH-related side effects., Conclusions: Once-weekly MOD-4023 administration in GHD adults was found to be clinically effective while maintaining a favorable safety profile and may obviate the need for daily injections. Weekly GH injections may improve compliance and overall outcome. The promising results achieved in this Phase 2 study led to a pivotal Phase 3 trial, which is currently ongoing., (© 2017 The authors.)

- Abstract
The biological mechanisms, ecological and observational studies indicate increased morbidity and mortality in vitamin D deficiency, while the controlled, randomized supplementation trials - carried out mostly in vitamin D deficient patients - have shown no or some marginal benefits, mostly in preventing institutionalized elderly individuals' falls and fractures. Clarity is also disturbed by that the primary end points of intervention studies were generally not extraskeletal. The ideal serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels also considerably controversial: there is clearly a J-curve, but the optimal range is uncertain. All of these uncertainties appear also in the vitamin D guidelines which are, however, concordant in that they do not recommend (i) a population-wide screening and (ii) vitamin D supplementation with extraskeletal aim - beyond the prevention of falls. Certain studies suggest that calcium supplementation increases the incidence of cardiovascular events, while others show a neutral effect in this respect. There are several ongoing vitamin D studies directly designed for extraskeletal events. Orv. Hetil., 2016, 157(31), 1242-1247.

- Abstract
Introduction: The diagnostic algorithm of primary aldosteronism is burdened with uncertainties and, recently, it has been suggested that the sensitivity of the aldosterone/renin ratio used as a screening test - based on the suppression aldosterone - is low., Aim: The primary aim was to test the accuracy of aldosterone/renin ratio., Method: In a retrospective analysis of 309 hypertensive patients supine and ambulatory aldosterone levels were independently examined., Results: Aldosterone/renin ratio was elevated in 99 patients of whom 31 exhibited elevated supine aldosterone, as well. In 34 cases supine aldosterone was increased without elevation of the aldosterone/renin ratio. However, only 3 of them had concomitant low renin levels indicating that primary aldosteronism could not be ruled out. Abnormally increased renin was found in 69 patients, but only 59% of them had increased aldosterone level., Conclusion: Sensitivity of aldosterone/renin ratio is high (91%) if used only in justified cases.

- Abstract
Objective: Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by inadequate parathyroid hormone (PTH), resulting in hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and bone abnormalities. Adults with hypoparathyroidism treated with recombinant human PTH, rhPTH(1-84), in the 24-week, phase III REPLACE study maintained serum calcium despite reductions in oral calcium and active vitamin D. This study assessed the long-term efficacy and safety of rhPTH(1-84) for hypoparathyroidism., Methods: This was a 24-week, open-label, flexible-dose extension study of REPLACE (REPEAT) conducted in 3 outpatient centers in Hungary. Patients who previously completed or enrolled in REPLACE received 50 μg/day rhPTH(1-84), escalated to 75 and then to 100 μg/day, if needed, to reduce active vitamin D and oral calcium. The primary endpoint was ≥50% reduction in oral calcium (or ≤500 mg/day) and active vitamin D (or calcitriol ≤0.25 μg/day or alfacalcidol ≤0.50 μg/day) with normocalcemia., Results: Twenty-four patients (n = 16 previously treated with rhPTH[1-84]; n = 8 rhPTH[1-84]-naïve) were enrolled and completed the study. At Week 24, 75% of patients (95% confidence interval [CI], 53.3-90.2%) achieved the study endpoint; 58% eliminated oral calcium and active vitamin D. Urinary calcium, serum phosphate, and calcium × phosphate (Ca × P) product decreased by Week 24. Mean serum bone turnover markers increased with rhPTH(1-84). Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) were reported by 92% of patients. No serious adverse events (AEs) occurred., Conclusion: This study used a simplified treatment algorithm intended to better mimic typical clinical practice and demonstrated the extended efficacy and safety of rhPTH(1-84) in patients with hypoparathyroidism and confirmed the REPLACE findings. Sustained rhPTH(1-84) efficacy up to 48 weeks was observed despite treatment interruption between studies.

- Abstract
Objective: There is increasing awareness among physicians of the risks of traumatic brain injury (TBI)-induced hypopituitarism. We have assessed the prevalence and risk factors of post-traumatic hypopituitarism by analyzing the TBI database of the University of Pecs., Design: This consecutive analysis of 126 TBI survivors (mean age: 42.4 years, average follow-up time: 48 months) revealed that 60.3% had severe and 39.7% moderately severe trauma based on GCS score. Subdural hemorrhage (29.3%) and diffuse injury (27%) were the most common types of injury; 17.5% of patients suffered basal skull fractures., Results: The prevalence of major anterior pituitary failure was 57.1%. Occurrence of total and partial growth hormone deficiency (GHD/GHI) was 39.7%, while LH/FSH, TSH and ACTH deficiencies were less frequent, namely 23.0%, 16.7% and 10.3%, respectively. Of the 82 patients with multiple endocrine evaluations, 31.7% presented significant changes in hormonal deficiencies during the follow-up period: new hormone deficiencies developed in 16 patients, while hormonal disturbances resolved in 10 subjects. Looking for factors influencing the prevalence of pituitary dysfunction, endocrine results were analyzed in relation to age, gender, GCS scores, injury types, basal skull fracture, ventricular drain insertion and necessity of neurosurgical intervention. All hormonal disturbances were more prevalent after severe trauma (OR: 3.25, p=0.002), while the need for surgery proved to be an independent determinant of multiple and GH deficits (OR: 3.72 (p=0.004) and 9.33 (p=0.001))., Conclusion: Post-traumatic hypopituitarism is common and may evolve or resolve over time. Victims of severe TBI and/or patients who have undergone neurosurgical intervention for head injury are the most prone to post-traumatic hypopituitarism.

- Abstract
Statins are one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in clinical practice. They are usually well tolerated and effectively prevent cardiovascular events. Most adverse effects associated with statin therapy are muscle-related. The recent statement of the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) has focused on statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS), and avoided the use of the term 'statin intolerance'. Although muscle syndromes are the most common adverse effects observed after statin therapy, excluding other side effects might underestimate the number of patients with statin intolerance, which might be observed in 10 - 15% of patients. In clinical practice, statin intolerance limits effective treatment of patients at risk of, or with, cardiovascular disease. Knowledge of the most common adverse effects of statin therapy that might cause statin intolerance and the clear definition of this phenomenon is crucial to effectively treat patients with lipid disorders. Therefore, the aim of this position paper was to suggest a unified definition of statin intolerance, and to complement the recent EAS statement on SAMS, where the pathophysiology, diagnosis and the management were comprehensively presented.

- Abstract
Objective: The role of cortisol in the prediction of mortality risk in critical illness is controversial in the literature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of cortisol concentrations in a mixed population of critically ill patients in medical emergencies., Design: In this prospective, observational study, measurement of total (TC) and free cortisol (FC) levels was made in the serum samples of 69 critically ill patients (39 males and 30 females, median age of 74 years) at admission (0 h) and 6, 24, 48, and 96 h after admission., Methods: Cortisol levels were determined using HPLC coupled high-resolution ESI-TOF mass spectrometry. The severity of disease was calculated by prognostic scores. Statistical analyses were performed using the SPSS 22.0 software., Results: The range of TC varied between 49.9 and 8797.8 nmol/l, FC between 0.4 and 759.9 nmol/l. The levels of FC at 0, 6, 24, and 48 h and TC at 0, 6 h were significantly elevated in non-survivors and correlated with the predicted mortality. The prognostic value of these cortisol levels was comparable with the routinely used mortality scores. In predictive models, FC at 6, 24, and 48 h proved to be an independent determinant of mortality., Conclusions: The predictive values of FC in the first 2 days after admission and TC within 6 h are comparable with the complex, routinely used mortality scores in evaluating the prognosis of critically ill patients. The cortisol response probably reflects the severity of disease., (© 2014 European Society of Endocrinology.)

- Abstract
Instead of LDL-cholesterol, non-HDL-cholesterol is proposed as a secondary lipid target when triglyceride level is above 2.3 mmol/L. Non-HDL-cholesterol target values are 0.8 mmol/L higher than those for LDL-cholesterol in the same cardiovascular risk category. Currently, the main issue of lipidology is the degree by which the cardiovascular risk can be reduced with the treatment of residual dyslipidemia that exists under statin therapy. In such a role the examined agents have essentially failed despite their more or less profound effect on HDL-cholesterol and/or non-HDL-cholesterol. The largest loser has been the nicotinic acid. The results of cardiovascular, otherwise controversial fish oil studies cannot be considered convincing because of the administered low doses. In a combination with statin (i) ezetimibe may have role if the LDL-cholesterol target cannot be reached with statin monotherapy, or (ii) fibrates, in case of large increase of triglyceride level, or in less severe hypertriglyceridemia if it is associated with considerable decrease in HDL-cholesterol level. Potential further possibilities are: (i) cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors that dramatically raise HDL-cholesterol, while reduce LDL-cholesterol, or (ii) proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin 9 inhibitors that markedly decrease LDL-cholesterol even on the top of statin.

- Abstract
Background: Hypoparathyroidism results in impaired mineral homoeostasis, including hypocalcaemia and hyperphosphataemia. Treatment with high-dose oral calcium and active vitamin D does not provide adequate or consistent control of biochemical indices and can lead to serious long-term complications. We aimed to test the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of once-daily recombinant human parathyroid hormone 1-84 (rhPTH[1-84]) in adults with hypoparathyroidism., Methods: In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised phase 3 study (REPLACE), we recruited patients with hypoparathyroidism (≥ 18 months duration) aged 18-85 years from 33 sites in eight countries. After an optimisation period, during which calcium and active vitamin D doses were adjusted to achieve consistent albumin-corrected serum calcium, patients were randomly assigned (2:1) via an interactive voice response system to 50 μg per day of rhPTH(1-84) or placebo for 24 weeks. Active vitamin D and calcium were progressively reduced, while rhPTH(1-84) could be titrated up from 50 μg to 75 μg and then 100 μg (weeks 0-5). The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients at week 24 who achieved a 50% or greater reduction from baseline in their daily dose of oral calcium and active vitamin D while maintaining a serum calcium concentration greater than or the same as baseline concentrations and less than or equal to the upper limit of normal, analysed by intention to treat. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00732615., Findings: Between June 23, 2009, and Feb 28, 2011, 134 eligible patients were recruited and randomly assigned to rhPTH(1-84) (n=90) or placebo (n=44). Six patients in the rhPTH(1-84) group and seven in the placebo group discontinued before study end. 48 (53%) patients in the rhPTH(1-84) group achieved the primary endpoint compared with one (2%) patient in the placebo group (percentage difference 51.1%, 95% CI 39.9-62.3; p<0.0001). The proportions of patients who had at least one adverse event were similar between groups (84 [93%] patients in the rhPTH[1-84] group vs 44 [100%] patients in the placebo group), with hypocalcaemia, muscle spasm, paraesthesias, headache, and nausea being the most common adverse events. The proportions of patients with serious adverse events were also similar between the rhPTH(1-84) group (ten [11%] patients) and the placebo group (four [9%] patients)., Interpretation: 50 μg, 75 μg, or 100 μg per day of rhPTH(1-84), administered subcutaneously in the outpatient setting, is efficacious and well tolerated as a PTH replacement therapy for patients with hypoparathyroidism., (Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

- Abstract
From the evaluated ONTARGET, ALTITUDE, ACCOMPLISH, ROADMAP, and ACCORD-BP studies a conclusion can be drawn that though microalbuminuria/proteinuria is a strong epidemiological biomarker, in interventional studies it is not necessarily a reliable surrogate endpoint as actual renal function may change in an opposite way. Namely, some therapeutic measures improving microalbuminuria/proteinuria may actually worsen renal function. In case of procedures such as blood pressure lowering or measure of RAS blockade an optimum point on a J-curve may exist.

- Abstract
The discovery of cardiac hormone production significantly changed the evaluation of the function of the heart, which is rather regarded as a determining factor of the electrolyte and hemodynamic homeostasis cooperating with other organ systems instead of a mechanical pump. The most important hormones produced by the heart are the natriuretic peptides that have the primary role of protection against volume overload through natriuretic, diuretic, vasodilator and antiproliferative effects. They are integrative markers of the cardiac, vascular and renal functions and marking cardiorenal distress. Brain natriuretic peptide and the N-terminal pro-hormone (NT-proBNP) became generally accepted markers of heart failure exceeding traditional pathophysiological significance of those. They are useful in the diagnosis, estimation of prognosis and therapy guidance and their therapeutic administration is also available. Although the detection of extraadrenal aldosterone production is an exciting new discovery, intracardial aldosterone production is not significant in human beings. The intracardial thyroid hormone production is regulated by deiodinase activity. The role of elevated T3 concentration was suggested in the development of cardiac hypertrophy, while low T3 is assumed to be important in adaptation to hypoxia. An unexpected, complex relation can be determined between epicardial adipose tissue and coronary artery diseases, cytokine and adipokine production of adipocytes might be a part of the self-enhancing process of atherosclerosis.

- Abstract
The background of feeding associated and metabolic diseases is not sufficiently understood yet. Since gustatory alterations may be of particular significance in the above illnesses, in the present experiments, cerebral activation was detected by fMRI in twelve obese patients and twelve, age and gender matched healthy subjects. The gustatory stimulus solutions were delivered via intraorally positioned polyvinyl tubes. Each session consisted of three runs. Sucrose was used as a pleasant; quinine HCl as an aversive; and a high-calorie, vanilla flavored nourishment solution as a complex taste of high palatability. In each run, only one taste was used as a stimulus. During all runs, distilled water served as a neutral stimulus. Group analysis was made by using the FSL software package. The taste stimuli elicited characteristic and distinct activity changes of the two groups. In contrast to the controls, in the obese patients, stronger activation was detected in various cortical (anterior cingulate cortex, insular and opercular cortices, orbitofrontal cortex) and subcortical (amygdala, nucleus accumbens, putamen and pallidum) structures in case of all three stimuli. The present examinations elucidated differential activation of various brain structures to pleasant and unpleasant gustatory stimuli in obese patients compared to control subjects. These taste alterations are supposed to be of particular significance in obesity, and our findings may contribute to develop better strategies for prevention and effective therapies in the future., (Copyright © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

- Abstract
Introduction: Many factors contribute to the pathogenesis of morbid obesity, and the central nervous system - as one of those - also has an important role. Numerous studies focus on the central regulation of eating and metabolism, since associated problems like obesity, anorexia, diabetes or metabolic syndrome put an increasing burden on the health system of modern societies. Neither the pathophysiologic changes, nor the normal regulation of these systems are known adequately. Functional MR (fMRI) imaging, which has certainly gained popularity recently, aims to better understand these mechanisms. In this series we studied the brain fMRI activity changes of normal and obese persons, triggered by gustatory stimulation., Methods: 10 obese and 10 normal weight healthy volunteers took part in the study, with comparable age and sex distribution. Gustatory stimulation was performed by 0.1 M sucrose (pleasant), 0.5 mM quinine HCl (unpleasant) and complex vanilla flavored (Nutridrink) solutions, which were administered through 0.5 mm PVC tubes, in 5-5 ml portions. For rinsing distilled water with neutral flavor was used. Imaging was performed in a 3T MRI, applying standard EPI sequences. Post processing of data was accomplished by FSL software package., Results: Brain activation for gustatory stimuli was characteristically different between the two groups. There were high intensity activations in more cortical and subcortical regions of the obese volunteers compared to the normal ones., Conclusions: Our current fMRI investigations revealed different activations of numerous brain regions of normal and obese individuals, triggered by pleasant and unpleasant gustatory stimulation. Based on these results this method can help to recognize the role of the central nervous system in obesity, and may contribute to develop new therapies for weight loss.
