Introduction: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) occurs on the background of increased insulin resistance. We aimed to investigate the levels of plasma pancreastatin (PST) levels and its association with metabolic, demographic, and anthropometric parameters in gestational diabetic and normal glucose-tolerant pregnant women.
Materials And Methods: A total of 165 pregnant women in the 24th-28th week of pregnancy were enrolled in this cross-sectional study.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of acromegaly on retinal vascular health and its link to Gremlin-1 levels using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
- It involved 53 acromegaly patients and 31 healthy controls, measuring retinal structures and Gremlin-1 concentrations through elaborate imaging and blood tests.
- Results indicated that acromegaly patients exhibited significantly reduced retinal vascular densities and lower Gremlin-1 levels compared to controls, suggesting a negative association between acromegaly and vascular health independent of glucose tolerance.
Objective: Primary hypophysitis might be challenging to diagnose, and there is a lack of evidence regarding optimal treatment strategies due to rarity of the disease. We aim to investigate the clinical features and compare the outcomes of different management strategies of primary hypophysitis in a large group of patients recruited on a nationwide basis.
Design: A retrospective observational study.
Introduction: Acromegaly is a disease with various comorbidities and hypogonadism is a common comorbidity in patients with acromegaly. Herein, we aim to present our experience with clomiphene citrate in a patient with acromegaly accompanied by hypogonadism, who declined surgery.
Case Report: A 40-year-old male patient with impaired fasting glucose, hyperlipidemia, and psychosis and who complained of increasing tongue growth, snoring, enlargement of the hands, spacing between the teeth, and loss of libido for the last 6 years was followed up.
