Vitamin B12 absorption and malabsorption.
Vitam Horm
April 2022
Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Washington University School of Medicine, St Louis, MO, United States. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- Vitamin B12 absorption involves complex interactions among three key transport proteins: intrinsic factor (IF), haptocorrin (HC), and transcobalamin (TC), along with their receptors.
- Deficiencies are often due to inadequate intake, particularly in vegans, or diseases that hinder digestion and absorption, with several genetic and acquired conditions contributing to malabsorption.
- There is a pressing need for improved assessment methods for B12 malabsorption in populations at risk, especially given the limitations of the traditional Schilling test.
Clinical characteristics of polyglandular autoimmune syndromes in pediatric age: an observational study.
J Pediatr Endocrinol Metab
April 2022
Pediatric Endocrinology Diabetes and Growth Department, Centro Hospitalar Universitário de Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal.
Objectives: Polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PAS) are characterized by the association of two or more autoimmune diseases (AID) and are classified into four types. PAS type 1 is more frequently manifested in childhood, but the prevalence of other PAS in children, less described in the literature, seems to be underestimated.
Methods: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of PAS in a selected pediatric population of 879 children with Diabetes mellitus type 1 (DM1), autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), and Addison's disease (AD) followed in our hospital for 10 years and describe and classify the manifestations of different PAS.
Severe hyponatremia as the first sign of late-onset Schmidt's syndrome: A case report.

January 2021
Department of Endocrinology, Metabolism and Internal Medicine, Poznan University of Medical Sciences, Poznan, Poland.
Background: Schmidt's syndrome (SS) is a rare endocrine disorder (14-20:1000000), which consists of autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and autoimmune Addison's disease (aAD), and usually occurs in young adults. Here, we report a unique case of late-onset SS manifesting initially with isolated severe hyponatremia and present the hazardous outcomes of preliminary misdiagnosis.
Case Presentation: A 78-year-old female presented to the emergency department with a two-day history of diarrhea, emesis and disturbances in consciousness.
An analysis of early morning acth levels in the first case of pembrolizumab-induced adrenalitis as a delayed immune-related event (dire) - case study.

Department Of Internal Medicine Ii, Division Of Gastroenterology, Thuringia Clinic "Georgius Agricola", Saalfeld/Saale, Germany.
Objective: The aim: The levels of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) are elevated in primary adrenal failure (Addison's disease) with a peak in the early morning hours. This also occurs under hydrocortisone replacement therapy due to the unphysiological substitution regime. The aim was to study ACTH levels under two different replacement regimens.

It occurs when hydrocortisone demand is not met by supplementation in the context of an infection - often gastrointestinal, fever, trauma, acute psychological or physical stress. Symptoms of weakness, nausea, muscle/joint pain and drowsiness may develop out of robust health within few hours.
