Impact of a tailored-care education programme on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with gestational diabetes: a randomized controlled trial.

Introduction: patient education is a key component of positive pregnancy and childbearing experiences, especially in women with gestational diabetes (GDM). Scant studies assessed the impact of tailored self-care education on pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aimed to assess the effect of a tailored-care education programme on maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnant women with GDM during pregnancy and at birth.

Clinical, immunological, and genetic investigations in a rare association of type 1 diabetes with xeroderma pigmentosum.

Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is a rare genodermatosis predisposing to skin cancers. Autoimmune diseases related to XP are rarely discussed in the literature. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been associated with other genodermatoses like Cockayne syndrome, but it has never been described in XP.

Disorders of sodium balance in COVID-19 patients: two Tunisian patients report.

Association of an empty sella and grave´s disease in a patient with acromegaly: a case report.

Acromegaly is, in most cases, caused by growth hormone secreting pituitary adenomas. Those patients often develop different pathologies of the thyroid gland, however, the occurrence of Grave´s disease is quite a rare situation. We report a case of a 64-year-old female patient who presented with signs of hyperthyroidism and imbalance of her diabetes mellitus.

Safety Assessment and Potential Risks of the Glucagon Stimulation Test in the Diagnosis of Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency.

Background: Although it takes more time, the Glucagon Stimulation Test (GST) is a reliable measure for assessing growth hormone (GH) and Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH) secretion. The GST is considered to be a safe test; however, it still has mild side effects and potential risks.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to analyze the side effects of the GST while testing adrenal-insufficient patients.

Relationship between level of education and podiatry risk in diabetic patients.

Context: Diabetic foot trophic disorders and their complications leading to the risk of amputation remain a major public health problem.

Objective: To determine the level of podiatric risk in our diabetic patients according to the classification of the International Working Group of the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) and study the relationship between the level of education and the level of podiatry risk..

Prostatic tissue in 46XX congenital adrenal hyperplasia: Case report and literature review.

The presence of prostatic tissue, in addition to uterus and adrenal tumors, is possible in 46XX patients with CAH. Lesions of these organs are usually benign. However, complications including prostate and adrenal cancer were also reported.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11-Beta-hydroxylase deficiency in a Tunisian family.

Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to a group of rare genetic disorders affecting the adrenal glands. 21-hydroxylase deficiency is the most prevalent and the most studied cause while the remaining enzymatic defects are less common, accounting for less than 10% of cases. We herein described the clinical, biological and molecular characteristics and outcome of patients of the same family diagnosed with 11-Beta-hydroxylase deficiency.

[Posttraumatic type 1 diabetes in an army soldier].

The influence of stress as a precipitating factor associated with the onset of type 1 diabetes have been widely studied in the literature. The relationship between physical and psychological traumas and diabetes has been rarely studied in the military environment. Posttraumatic diabetes is a controversial topic.

Biochemical Data and Metabolic Profiles of Male Exclusive Narghile Smokers (ENSs) Compared With Apparently Healthy Nonsmokers (AHNSs).

Studies evaluating the metabolic profiles of ENSs are scarce and presented controversial conclusions. This study aimed to compare the metabolic profiles of ENSs' and AHNSs' groups. Males aged 25-45 years and free from a known history of metabolic and/or cardiovascular diseases were included.

Benzylthiouracil-induced glomerulonephritis.

Vasculitis is a rare complication of antithyroid drugs (ATDs). It was first described with Propylthiouracil (PTU). We report a new case of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) vasculitis with glomerulonephritis induced by Benzylthiouracile (BTU).

[Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. Report of two cases].

The antiphospholopid syndrome has been associated with thromboembolic events, thrombocytopenia and fetal loss. Some patients with the antiphospholipid syndrome may develop an acutely catastrophic syndrome characterized by multiple vascular occlusions which often results in death.
