Objective: We aimed to determine the prevalence of specific auto-antibodies to celiac disease (CD) in Moroccan type 1 diabetic (T1D) patients and compare the clinical and biological characteristics of seropositive and seronegative cases.
Patients And Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 276 T1D patients including 109 adults and 167 pediatric cases. The screening for CD was performed by an Elisa IgA anti-tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTGA) testing, combined with IgA quantification by nephelometry.
Association of newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes and autoimmune pancreatitis.

Unlabelled: Autoimmune pancreatitis is a new nosological entity in which a lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine pancreas is involved. The concomitant onset of autoimmune pancreatitis and type 1 diabetes has been recently described suggesting a unique immune disturbance that compromises the pancreatic endocrine and exocrine functions. We report a case of type1 diabetes onset associated with an autoimmune pancreatitis in a young patient who seemed to present a type 2 autoimmune polyglandular syndrome.

Article Synopsis
- Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disease characterized by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), leading to elevated serum calcium levels and severe bone conditions like osteitis fibrosa cystica.
- The condition causes increased bone turnover, resulting in osteoclastomas or "brown tumors," which are benign bone lesions.
- A rare form of PHPT, known as hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome, can have malignant parathyroid tumors and is associated with fibrous jaw tumors and nonendocrine cancers.
