Methods: The purpose of the study was to analyze the diagnostic features of Pheo and investigate the role played by different neuroendocrine and hormonal markers in diagnosing Pheo.The retrospective study involved a group of 69 patients diagnosed and treated with Pheo, who had both urinary and plasma catecholamines and neuroendocrine markers measured pre- and postoperatively. Results: After comparing pre- and postoperative hormonal parameters and neuroendocrine biomarker changes, numerous statistically significant findings were found. The analysis of the relationships between chromogranin A (CgA) levels, plasma and urine metanephrines, and normetanephrine and Pheo tumor size was included in the study. Additionally, we evaluated Cg A's diagnostic efficacy in comparison to plasma metanephrines, normetanephrine, and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) for Pheo. Conclusions: We obtained statistically significant data on pre- and postoperative differences for plasma and urinary catecholamines, CgA and NSE. Pheo tumor size is interdependent with serum levels of Cg A, plasma and urinary metanephrines, and normetanephrine. The best diagnostic power for Pheo was plasma normetanephrine, followed by plasma metanephrines and CgA.","PeriodicalId":21298,"journal":{"name":"Romanian Journal of Military Medicine","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43285796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there is no universally accepted classification of panniculitis, to facilitate the diagnosis, they were divided into two large classes, based on the histopathological criteria: predominantly lobular and predominantly septal panniculitis. Depending on the presence or absence of vascular damage, each of the two classes mentioned above is divided in turn into panniculitis without vasculitis and panniculitis with vasculitis. The diagnosis of various types of panniculitis can sometimes be very difficult, due to the histopathological changes that occur in the various evolutionary stages of the lesions. Thus, the positive diagnosis relies on the corroboration of clinical data, histopathological examination, and ancillary laboratory tests.

Methods: 47 consecutive patients admitted for radiofrequency catheter ablation of idiopathic PVC were included prospectively in this study. Of the algorithms selected for comparison, three have a memorable design and easy applicability (Dixit, Joshi, Pytkowski) and the fourth has a complex, detailed design and is more difficult to memorize (Zhang). Results: The greatest accuracy was observed for the algorithms proposed by Dixit and Pytkowski – 92. 3%. However, when the algorithms were compared for their accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity, no significant differences were found (p=0. 96).

The data was collected using a researcher-made social responsibility questionnaire in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic in three areas general, individual, and social responsibility. The quantitative content validity method was used to measure the validity of the questionnaire and Cronbach's alpha calculation method was used to measure its reliability. The data were analyzed using SPSS21 software. Findings: Among the participants, 4.32% of them had a history of covid-19, and the history of complications was more in men (51.9%) and the mean social responsibility score of women was higher (P<0.001). The average responsibility score was higher in people without a history of Covid-19 than in people with a history of Covid-19 (P=0.006).
