    Abstract Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare, inborn disease manifested with recurrent attacks of angioedema. They can affect the skin and subcutaneous tissue, mucous membranes (gastrointestinal, respiratory, and uropoietic tracts), and submucous tissue. Women in reproductive age require specific management of the disease regarding both the course of the disease and treatment options. It is not only the treatment in female patients that is specific, but also the situations (pregnancy, breastfeeding). We present a case report of the initial use of a subcutaneous C1 inhibitor in the long-term prophylaxis of HAE attacks in two pregnant patients.

    Title translation Pegvisomant v liečbe akromegálie.
    Abstract Despite improvements in surgical techniques, current radiotherapy options and development of long-acting somatostatin analogues, biochemical control of acromegaly is not achieved in some patients. The failure to achieve optimal serum growth hormone (RH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels means increased morbidity and mortality of acromegaly patients. The RH receptor antagonist pegvisomant (PEG) is a genetically engineered RH analog that prevents of RH receptor dimerization, i.e. a process that is crucial for the action of RH at the cellular level. The effect of the treatment is suppression of IGF-1 production. In pilot studies, normalization of IGF-1 levels was achieved in up to 90 % of patients receiving PEG. However, PEG efficacy in clinical settings is slightly lower (65 to 97 %) than reported in the key studies. A rare side effect of treatment is elevations of liver transaminases. In addition, pituitary tumor growth progression has been reported in several cases. In this review article, we present long-term data on pegvisomant treatment and discuss its associated risks and benefits.

    Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is currently a pandemic problem, and the number of diabetic patients is constantly increasing. There are known and established diabetic complication but it is also comorbidities associated with DM cannot be forgotten. One of these is osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures. In diabetic patients, the fractures are usually 2 to 6 times higher. In management of diabetes we should screen also the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. From a diabetic point of view, optimum glycaemic control should be achieved, however, we should take into account the effect of antidiabetic agents on bone. In this summary data on the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in patients with DM as well as on the effect of antidiabetic agents on bone are presented.

    Abstract Purpose: The present study aims to evaluate the effect of myo-Inositol plus Selenium supplementation in patients affected by subclinical hypothyroidism.
    Methods: One hundred and forty-eight patients were included in the study from 8 different centers of Slovakia, and treated for 6 months with a daily dose of 600 mg myo-Ins plus 83 mcg Se. The patients included at the enrollment were women of reproductive age (18-50), who exhibit values of TSH in the range 2.5-5 mU/l and positivity to antibodies TPO-Ab/TG-Ab, or otherwise values of TSH in the range 5-10 mU/l both with and without positivity to antibodies TPO-Ab/TG-Ab.
    Results: Patients affected by subclinical hypothyroidism exhibited a significant improvement of their condition when treated for 6 months with a combination of myo-Inositol and Selenium. The TSH values significantly ameliorated along with the index of autoimmunity and the thyroid status. In a sub-class of patients, the auto-antibody titer decreased after myo-inositol + Selenium administration. The treatment also induces a regularization of the menstrual cycle and a reduction of the cholesterol in the patients enrolled for the study. Furthermore, a significant improvement is observed in the perception of the symptoms associated with subclinical hypothyroidism over the treatment period.
    Conclusion: A dietary supplementation with of myo-Inositol and Selenium in the treatment of patients affected by subclinical hypothyroidism exhibits a beneficial role in the recovery of TSH values, in the improvement of the symptoms associated to this condition and in the maintenance of the thyroid functions.The trial was approved by the Ethical Committee from National Institute of Endocrinology and Diabetology of Lubochna, Slovakia, date 18.12.2018, registration number: 3124/2018.

    Title translation Osteoporóza u premenopauzálnych žien.
    Abstract In contrast to postmenopausal women diagnostic process and treatment of premenopausal osteoporosis in young women reamin poorly defined. A low bone mineral density in premenopausal women is not associated with the same risk of fractures as in postmenopausal women, therefore diagnosis requires not only densitometric examination but depends on the consideration of other risk factors. Most cases of premenopausal osteoporosis are associated with chronic diseases affecting bone metabolism. Treatment of the underlying disease may improve bone density as well as bone quality. Rarely, a bone-specific antiporotic therapy may be used, although quality evidence is scarce. This article will review current opinion on definition, diagnosis and treatment of premenopausal osteoporosis.

    Title translation Suplementácia vitamínu D ako dôležitý faktor v prevencii a liečbe ochorenia COVID-19: aké máme dôkazy?
    Abstract The immunomodulatory effect of vitamin D and its potential in prevention and treatment of acute respiratory infections have long been of interest to many scientific teams around the world. Several meta-analyses in the last 10 years have confirmed the protective (albeit of modest size) effect of vitamin D against respiratory infections. Because of many overlapping risk factors for vitamin D deficiency and severe COVID-19 infection, many experts believe that vitamin D supplementation could play an important role in prevention and treatment of the new coronavirus disease. Based on available data on the immunological action of vitamin D, it is possible that vitamin D could modulate the bodys response to SARS-CoV-2 infection both in the early viraemic phase and in later hyperinflammatory phase typical for the severe course of the disease. The first available data from epidemiological studies suggest that low serum vitamin D levels are associated with increased susceptibility to the new coronavirus infection as well as with severe course of the disease.

    Abstract The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to changes in lifestyle, which could influence vitamin D status on a population level. The purpose of our study was to compare 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) levels in patients hospitalized because of severe COVID-19 during two waves of the pandemic (2020/21 vs. 2021/22). A total of 101 patients from the 2021/22 wave were compared with 101 sex- and age-matched subjects from the 2020/21 wave. Patients from both groups were hospitalized during the winter season from 1 December to 28 February. Men and women were analyzed together and separately. The mean 25(OH)D concentration increased from 17.8 ± 9.7 ng/mL to 25.2 ± 12.6 ng/mL between waves. The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency (<20 ng/mL) decreased from 82% to 54%. The prevalence of adequate serum 25(OH)D concentration (>30 ng/mL) increased from 10% to 34% (

    Title translation Mikroskopická polyangiitída.
    Abstract Microscopic polyangiitis is a rare, systemic, necrotizing, pauci-immune, ANCA associated small vessel vasculitis, with no evidence of granulomatous inflammation. Diagnosing microscopic polyangiitis is often difficult because of it´s presentation by a number of non-specific symptoms. We treated a 35-year old patient, who was admitted for migrating arthritis and fever with papulous rash. In this case, we want to point out the importance of considering the diagnosis of MPA and similar rare diseases in the process of differential diagnosis, mainly in patients presenting with non-specific symptoms, because the mortality of this disease without adequate treatment is alarmingly high.

    Title translation Čo sa skrýva za autoinflamáciou?
    Abstract Autoinflammatory diseases represent a group of disorders that are distinct from autoimmune diseases, infections and malignancies. They are characterised by attacks of unprovoked noninfectious inflammation. A key feature of autoinflammatory diseases is dysregulation of innate immune system and overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The best-characterized group of autoinflammatory diseases arises from mutations in single genes. They are typically manifested by recurrent attacks of fever and serositis as well as arthralgia, myalgia and skin exanthema.
