Article Synopsis
- Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder featuring a combination of symptoms like diabetes, optic atrophy, and hearing loss, primarily caused by a deficiency in arginine vasopressin.
- The case describes an early adolescent girl initially diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, who later presented with urinary issues and vision problems, leading to the discovery of optic atrophy and chronic kidney disease.
- Although she didn't exhibit all typical symptoms of WS, such as deafness, her case highlighted the need for thorough evaluation in juvenile diabetes patients, as early renal involvement could indicate conditions beyond common complications.
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD).
Material And Methods: In this study, we assessed the prevalence of CAD in asymptomatic T2DM patients and its correlation with invasive testing in treadmill testing (TMT)-positive cases. A total of 90 patients with asymptomatic T2DM were recruited and subjected to TMT TMT-positive patients were subjected to coronary angiography (CAG).
A woman in her mid-50s with IgA nephropathy, sarcoidosis and steroid-induced diabetes mellitus presented with generalised paraesthesia and spontaneous tetany. She had received denosumab 60 mg subcutaneously 8 weeks previously for parathyroid hormone independent hypercalcaemia.At admission, she had severe hypocalcaemia (5 mg/dL), hypophosphataemia (1.

Methods: In this cross-sectional, observational study, we included 75 pregnant women between 24 and 28 weeks of gestation. A fasting venous sample was collected for plasma glucose (FPG), insulin, PTH and 25OHD.
Context: The number of men afflicted with osteoporosis is unknown.
Aims: This study aims to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis in men.
Settings And Design: This was a prospective, observational study.
Background: Intravenous insulin is the cornerstone in the management of hyperglycemia in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). We studied the efficacy of liraglutide compared with insulin in the ICU.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective, open-labeled, randomized study, we included 120 patients (15-65 years, either sex) admitted to ICU with capillary blood glucose (CBG) between 181 and 300 mg/dl.
Background: Thyrotoxicosis is associated with loss of body weight and bone mineral content (BMC). Antithyroid drugs (ATD) and radioiodine therapy (RIT) are the common options for the management of thyrotoxicosis. We evaluated the effect of ATD and RIT on BMC and body composition.

Objective: Classification of diabetes mellitus (DM) into type 1 or type 2 is difficult in lean, young individuals. We studied the β-cell function, insulin resistance (IR) and autoimmunity in young patients with recent onset DM.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we included patients (age below 35 years) with recent onset DM (<6 months) and normal body weight for evaluation.
