(Japan Endocrine Society, 2001)
The aim of the study is to determine the impact of Chlamydial seropositivity on atherosclerosis in a group of patient requiring coronary and/or carotid revascularization. A population of 30 diabetic patients (group 3) and ...
Referral Bias in Defining the Phenotype and Prevalence of Obesity in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
(Endocrine Soc, 2013)
Background: The described phenotype of the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been primarily based on findings in a referred (self or otherwise) population. It is possible that the phenotype of PCOS would be different ...
Serum Vaspin Levels in Hypothyroid Patients
