[McArdle disease revealed by exercise intolerance associated with severe rhabdomyolysis.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report the case of a 16-year-old patient, hospitalized in July 2008 for exercise intolerance. On admission, he was asymptomatic and the physical examination was non contributive. Serum creatine kinase levels and renal function measures were normal. Cycloergometer exercise testing unmasked the disease. EMG and muscular biopsies were normal. During the second hospitalization, this time for rhabdomyolysis, T2 weighted MRI of the thighs showed high intensity signals from the gracilis muscles. The control MRI, made after 2 weeks of rest, was normal. Right gracilis muscle biopsy demonstrated excess glycogen with myophosphoryl...

Corticomedullary mixed tumor of the adrenal gland.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A 34-year-old woman presented with weight gain, hirsutism, recent hypertension and secondary amenorrhea. Laboratory findings showed hypokalemia, elevated cortisol and androgen levels with normal urine metanephrines and normal aldosteronemia. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging showed a right heterogeneous adrenal mass measuring 4x6cm with mixed component of fat and adrenal tissue suggesting corticosurrenaloma. After right adrenalectomy, blood pressure normalized and hypokalemia resolved. In the postoperative course, the patient presented adrenal insufficiency treated with hydrocortisone hemisuccinate. Histological exa...

Oxytocin: From milk ejection to maladaptation in stress response and psychiatric disorders. A psychoneuroendocrine perspective.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Oxytocin (OT) is implicated in stress reduction as well as in social behavior. It inhibits the stress-induced activity of the hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal axis responsiveness. OT is involved in social affiliation, sexual and maternal-infant binding, anxiety, mood, feeding control and memory. Several lines of evidence suggest a role of OT in psychiatric disorders. Various psychiatric disorders are strongly influenced by social variables, such as panic attacks, depression and early childhood autism, and seem to exhibit a particularly close connection with the brain dynamics that underlie social emotions. This paper pro...

Who should benefit from diabetes cell therapy?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Type 1 diabetes are intrinsically unstable conditions because of the loss of both insulin secretion and glucose sensing. Guidelines to treat type 1 diabetes have become stricter since the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) results demonstrated the close relationship between microangiopathy and HbA1c levels, whereas the deleterious role of glucose variability on macroangiopathy has been more recently suspected. Therapeutic strategies first require the treatment of underlying organic causes of the brittleness whenever possible and, secondly, the optimization of insulin therapy using analogues, multiple injec...

[Diabetes and second-generation (atypical) antipsychotics.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Schizophrenia is a common psychiatric illness (1% of the general population), characterized by the association of positive and negative symptoms and cognitive disorders. Antipsychotics, typical or atypical, are known to induce in patients with schizophrenia weight gain and abnormalities in glucose and lipid metabolisms. These modifications, in addition to metabolic risk factors, intrinsic to the psychiatric illness (physical inactivity, smoking, diabetes), increase the risk of cardiovascular complications. Some antipsychotics are associated with a higher risk of metabolic disorders. Before starting such a medication, a...

We report the case of a 45-year-old patient who underwent surgery for an anterior neck mass that had developed over three years. Histology favored multifocal papillary carcinoma in a thyroglossal duct remant. Total thyroidectomy was performed. The postoperative protocol, established empirically due to the absence of consensus, included radioactive iodine and hormone suppression even though the thyroid was intact. After one year of follow-up, outcome has remained favorable. PMID: 19591972 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Annales d'Endocrinologie)

[Surgical excision of subclinical cortisol secreting incidentalomas: Impact on blood pressure, BMI and glucose metabolism.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Subclinical cortisol secreting adrenal incidentalomas are associated with cardiovascular risk factors that may be corrected after removal of the mass. Therefore, surgery may be an appropriate choice in patients with subclinical Cushing's syndrome to improve hypertension, body weight and impaired glucose level. Controlled studies comparing surgical treatment to a medical follow-up including optimal cardiovascular risk factors treatment are needed to define the usefulness of surgery in hypertensive patients with subclinical cortisol secreting incidentalomas.

We report a case of Cushing's syndrome associated with onset of diabetes mellitus in a patient treated with boosted PI (ATZ and ritonavir) for HIV 2 (CD4360/ml). Asthma was treated with inhaled fluticasone 1500mug/day for several months that was stopped at admission. A few days later, typical secondary adrenal failure developed and was confirmed by dosage of cortisol and ACTH, both low. Hydrocortisone replacement treatment resulted in rapid improvement of symptoms. Diabetes was initially treated with insulin then sulfonyluraes, but repeated hypoglycemias lead to diet alone. Physicians should be aware of the potential dange...

Does first-line surgery still have its place in the treatment of acromegaly?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Transsphenoidal surgery is currently the first-line treatment of acromegaly. Remission is observed in 80 to 90% microadenomas, 50 to 60% non-invasive macroadenomas, and less than 20% invasive macroadenomas. Predictive factors include age, maximal size of the adenoma, cavernous sinus invasion, initial hormone levels and neurosurgeon's experience. Complications are rare, with about 5% definitive diabetes insipidus and 10% of new anterior pituitary hormone deficits. Somatostatin agonist pretreatment can be proposed as it decreases tumor volume in about 25% cases and might reduce the rate of immediate postsurgical complica...

Most adrenocortical tumors are benign; adrenocortical carcinomas are rare but their prognosis is poor and their therapeutic is sparse. In most adrenocortical tumors, the morphological approach brings sufficient elements to establish the differential diagnosis between a benign and a malignant tumor but in few cases, it is insufficient. Moreover, morphology is limited for predicting prognosis of adrenocortical carcinomas. These observations led to development of other approaches, in particular genetic approaches. These genetics findings already have repercussions for the patients in the development of molecular markers f...

Animal models of primary aldosteronism.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
With an average prevalence of 25% hypertension is one of the leading chronic diseases in westernized countries. Recent epidemiological data indicate a high proportion of patients with secondary hypertension due to primary aldosteronism that accounts for up to 8-12% of cases. Primary aldosteronism is caused by autonomous secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal cortex which results in hypertension with clinically, biochemically and therapeutically distinct features. With the exception of the small proportion of patients with familial hyperaldosteronism type I, the underlying genetic and molecular basis of this common dis...

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are rare diseases, most often inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder. They may be associated with endocrine dysfunction, the most frequent of them being disorders of carbohydrate metabolism (hypoglycemia, diabetes). The endocrinologist might be led to screen these complications in a patient whose diagnosis has been done during childhood. In some rare cases, he should evoke the diagnosis in front of an endocrine disorder most often associated to a multisystemic involvement. This spreading field is new, not yet very well known in adulthood. Long-term consequences of IEM on fertilit...

We report the case of a serious cardiac failure occurred during a twin pregnancy obtained by oocyte donation in a 39-year-old patient with Turner's syndrome.

If the most reported cases of maternal deaths in patients with Turner's syndrome are associated with an aortic root dissection, our observation is characterized by a full normal cardiologic assessment before the pregnancy and by the absence of aortic root dilatation during pregnancy. This case also illustrates the very high risk of pregnancy in women with Turner's syndr...

Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism is defined by reduced steroid hormone synthesis and secretion due to low LH and FSH secretion. It is a rare disease with an unknown prevalence (about 1/5000). It results from a fetal defect in GnRH neuron migration, a defect of pituitary development or from a functional defect of the hypothalamopituitary axis between GnRH neurons and gonadotropic cells. The diagnosis should be considered at birth in males with micropenis, during adolescence in case of delayed puberty or absent puberty, and during adulthood in case of infertility. It may be restricted to the gonadotropic axis, co...

The past studies, the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) in type 2 diabetic patients and the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) in type 1 diabetic patients, have shown that intensive treatment during a short period did reduce the incidence of microvascular events, and in the long term, the incidence of macrovascular events linked to diabetes. The conclusions of recent studies quote, from Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes Study Group (ACCORD), an increased mortality in the type 2 diabetic patients usin...

Bilateral adrenalectomy for severe hypertension in congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 11beta-hydroxylase deficiency: Long term follow-up.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: Bilateral adrenalectomy is a safe and efficient method of managing CAH with selected patients. Long-term clinical and biochemical follow-up of patients with CAH treated by bilateral adrenalectomy is needed to earlier detect ectopic adrenal rests.

Glycaemic control and cardiovascular morbi-mortality: The contribution of the 2008 studies.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The year 2008 was rich in teachings and suspense in diabetology. Past studies, i.e. United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) in type 2 diabetic patients and Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) in type 1 diabetic patients, have shown that in the short term, intensive treatment reduces the incidence of microvascular complications linked to diabetes and in the long term that of both microvascular and macrovascular ones. The in-the-raw conclusions of the recent Action to Control Cardiovascular risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) study note an increase in mortality in type 2 diabetic patients treated intensively,...

[Inborn errors of metabolism in adults.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We present a simplified classification of treatable inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) in three groups with a special focus on those disorders observed at adult age. Group 1 includes inborn errors (IE) of intermediary metabolism which give rise to an acute or chronic intoxication. It encompasses aminoacidopathies, organic acidurias (OA), urea cycle disorders (UCD), sugar intolerances, metal storage disorders and porphyrias. Clinical expression can be acute, systemic or involves a specific organ, it can strike in the neonatal period or later and intermittently from infancy to late adulthood. Most of these disorders are treat...

[A case of intrahepatic gastrinoma.]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report the case of an intrahepatic gastrinoma, surgically treated by left hepatectomy. Upon review of scientific literature, we found 19 cases of intrahepatic gastrinoma. This diagnosis is always difficult to establish, even after a complete preoperative imaging and an extensive operative search for a possible primary tumor. The best evidence for diagnosis is the gastrinemia decreasing to a normal range after liver resection, and the absence of recurrence in long-term follow-up.

Etiologic discussion and clinical relevance of thyroid ultrasonography in subclinical hypothyroidism. A retrospective study in 1845 patients.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSION: In subclinical hypothyroidism, thyroid ultrasonography is not required for the diagnosis of autoimmune thyroiditis but is useful for patients with abnormal thyroid palpation and allows detection of non-palpable thyroid nodules. For patients that were negative for thyroid antibodies, thyroid ultrasonography can improve diagnosis for some patients, allowing detection of autoimmune thyroiditis.
