The study enrolled 84 women age 15-41 years with a mean age of 25.07 ± 6.6, during the period from September 2011 till March 2012 from Basrah Hospitals, Iraq. The patients group comprised 46 women with first trimester miscarriage. The control group included 38 women with first trimester successful pregnancy with no history of miscarriage. Cytokines were measured by ELISA. There were significantly higher levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-2 and IL-10 in the aborted women as compared to the controls. In relation to IL-4 and IL-6 non-significant difference was detected between women with miscarriage and control groups. Significant effect of age on serum IL-2 and IL-10 in women with first trimester miscarriage was recorded while no effect observed in the levels of IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-6. Furthermore, significant higher level of all Th-1 cytokines for miscarriage group than control group for women aged 25-34 years was noticed. In contrast, non-significant differences were found between estimated level for miscarriage and control groups of all Th-1 cytokines for age group >34 years. This study supports the hypothesis of role of Th-1 produced cytokines in the pathogenesis of miscarriage.

The main clinical manifestations of osteoporosis are low-energy fractures of the proximal femur, vertebrae, and distal radius. Nearly two million osteoporotic fractures occur annually in the United States at an estimated cost of more than $17 billion (5,6). Subtrochanteric and diaphyseal areas are considered to be the strongest parts of femur subjected to the highest stresses of the body (7). The strongest bone of the body, femur diaphysis, is an unusual site for fracture due to minor trauma, and raises significant suspicion regarding the pathogenesis of the fracture. In recent years, some cases of subtrochanteric and diaphyseal fractures due to minor trauma have been reported in association with long-term alendronate therapy (8-10). This pattern of fracture is defined as alendronate-induced atypical fracture. This study presents a case of bilateral femoral insufficiency fracture in a woman receiving long-term alendronate therapy.","PeriodicalId":351803,"journal":{"name":"medical journal of islamic world academy of sciences","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129836738","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}

The most important etiological factor causing thyroid cancer is ionizing radiation, especially in childhood. Obesity, smoking, hypothyroidism, hormonal exposures, and some environmental pollutants are the other factors associated with thyroid cancer (1). However, the relationship between hyperthyroidism and thyroid cancer is still controversial. Hyperthyroidism is defined as hyperfunctioning of the thyroid gland; its prevalence in adults is approximately 1.2%. Graves’ disease (GD), toxic adenoma (TA), and toxic multinodular goiter (TMNG) are accepted as the most common causes (2). Until recently, hyperthyroidism was thought to be protective against the development of thyroid cancer due to the lower serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) concentration (2,3). However, thyrotoxicosis did not protect against incidental papillary thyroid cancer (4). The coexistence of thyroid cancer and hyperthyroidism varied widely from 1.6% to 21.1% (5). It is difficult to explain this variability. Another point of discussion is whether hyperthyroidism-related thyroid cancers are more aggressive (5,6). It is important to determine the incidence of malignancy in patients with hyperthyroidism and reveal the clinical behavioral pattern of incidental tumors. This is because the high incidence of malignancy may further emphasize the necessity of surgery among treatment options. Therefore, this study was conducted to evaluate the frequency of thyroid cancer in patients undergoing thyroidectomy due to different forms of hyperthyroidism and also examine the behavioral pattern of cancer in malignant cases.
