Dr. Kimberly Gudzune, of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore presented this week at the American Association of Clinical Endocrinology (AACE) annual meeting, in a post hoc analysis of the SURMOUNT-1 trial, from MedPage Today. Dr. Gudzune notes of participants who failed to shed 5% of their body weight at 12 weeks, more than 90% ultimately achieved that clinically meaningful level of weight loss at 72 weeks. But only 30% dropped at least 15% of their body weight at 72 weeks, compared to 84% of the early responders – those who lost at least 5% at 12 weeks. Put another way, 1 in 6 of the early responders failed to lose at least 15% in weight at 72 weeks, compared to over two-thirds of the slow responders. My take – we should focus care upon early responders, in order to maximize benefit across a population; which is further exacerbated by cost, supply and access issues. https://lnkd.in/e4Hn2Vjv

It was a pleasure to be with colleagues from EFE - Endokrinologisk Forskningsenhed and the Double Edge Study at European Congress of Endocrinology in Stockholm 🇸🇪 I had the opportunity to share results from the REPLACE sub-study, where we evaluated the quality of life by comparing the disease specific #AddiQoL-30 with the generic SF-36 questionnaire in 133 patients with previous long-term #prednisolone treatment. Patients with low AddiQoL-30 score (<= 85) had also low scores in the following SF-36 dimensions: vitality, role limitations physical, social and physical functioning.

The Marga and Walter Boll Foundation supports the study "You are what you eat - forever? Reversibility of dopaminenergic midbrain impairments in metabolic disease". This study investigates the question of whether the changes in the dopaminergic midbrain associated with the "Western lifestyle" and the resulting restrictions in motivation and learning behavior are permanent or reversible and up to what degree of severity of metabolic changes normalization can be achieved through preventive measures. The research project is being carried out at the Polyclinic for Endocrinology, Diabetology and Preventive Medicine at Cologne University Hospital and is designed as a randomized, controlled study with 120 participants over two years. "Investigating the reversibility of early brain changes associated with the Western lifestyle will have implications for the development of preventive and therapeutic measures."

📣The incorporation of molecular testing in the management of patients classified as Bethesda III and IV not only has the potential to improve diagnostic accuracy, but may also contribute to a better patient experience by reducing uncertainty and the risk of unnecessary procedures. 👨⚕️With the support of recent studies such as “The 2023 Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology,” it is critical that healthcare professionals consider these tests as an integral part of the evaluation and management of thyroid nodules in these groups. This not only optimizes patient care, but also aligns with current best practices in endocrinology. 📑Paper DOI: 10.1089/thy.2023.0141 https://lnkd.in/eQGwgapQ #BethesdaSystem #MolecularTest #IndeterminateNodule #KeepYourThyroid #SaveThyroids #ThyroidPrint #GeneproDX

Baseline characteristics were collected by a formal interview and the measurements were self-reported. The primary outcome was to evaluate the patients' Hajj readiness and the association of the previous Hajj performance on this outcome. Results: Of the 262 patients with diabetes participated, 72.9% have type 2, mean age of 53.1 years; mean duration of diabetes is 9.23 years. #Diabetes #Hajj #Readiness #Preparation #EndocrineGlands #Hormones #HormoneMetabolism #StructureAndPhysiochemicalProperties #HormonalReceptors #SignalingMechanisms #HormoneRegulatedGeneExpression #IntracellularSteroidAndLipidMetabolism #BoneAndMineralMetabolism #Infertility #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #SexualDifferentiation #Puberty #PediatricEndocrinology #EndocrinePharmacology #MolecularEndocrinology #GastrointestinalEndocrinology #Neuroendocrinology #ComparativeEndocrinology #CardiovascularEndocrinology #ReproductiveEndocrinology

https://lnkd.in/gZAXNbzP Article title: Apparent mineralocorticoid excess: A case of hypertension in a child with delayed diagnosis leading to stroke Author(s): Inderpal Singh Kochar; Rakhi Jain; Smita Ramachandran Journal: International Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism Journal ISSN: 2640-7582 Introduction: Hypertension in pediatric patients,unlike adults, is mostly secondary to systemic disorders which may be renal,cardiovascular or endocrine, among others.Apparent mineralocorticoid excess (AME) is one such cause of hypertension. It occurs due to congenital deficiency of 11 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2(11βHSD 2) which responsible for conversion of cortisol to cortisone [1]. Cortisol binds avidly to the mineralocorticoid receptors and due to higher circulating cortisol than aldosterone, this may cause increased mineralocorticoid activity leading to sodium retention, hypokalemia, hypertension. This is prevented by conversion of cortisol to cortisone, which is inactive at mineralocorticoid receptor, by 11βHSD2 [2]. #EndocrineGlands #Hormones #HormoneMetabolism #StructureAndPhysiochemicalProperties #HormonalReceptors #SignalingMechanisms #HormoneRegulatedGeneExpression #IntracellularSteroidAndLipidMetabolism #BoneAndMineralMetabolism #Infertility #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #SexualDifferentiation #Puberty #PediatricEndocrinology #EndocrinePharmacology #MolecularEndocrinology #GastrointestinalEndocrinology #Neuroendocrinology #ComparativeEndocrinology #CardiovascularEndocrinology #ReproductiveEndocrinology
