The aim of this study is to analyze the different cardiovascular manifestations and cardiovascular risk factors in acromegaly.Methods: A retrospective descriptive study including 44 patients hospitalized in the endocrinology department of University Hospital Mohamed...

Introduction: Hyperprolactinemia may be associated with weight gain, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance. Treatment with dopamine agonists (DA) has been shown to reduce body weight and improve metabolic parameters. The objective of our study is to confirm weight gain secondary to hyperprolactinemia and analyze the evolution of weight in patients under dopaminergic antagonists. Materials and Methods: This is a prospective cross-sectional analytical...

Introduction: Thyroid storm (TS) is a severe manifestation of thyrotoxicosis, (1). It is most commonly seen in Graves’ disease and can occur due to a non-compliance to anti-thyroid medications Management includes both addressing end organ damage and attaining a euthyroid state. We report the case of a patient who presented a thyroid storm complicating a grave’s disease and unmasking, during its management, a corticotropic insufficiency.Clinical...

Introduction: Contraception in women with diabetes is difficult. It is the subject of an individualised prescription, which takes into account the metabolic and vascular state as well as the gynaecological tolerance of the patient.Materials and Methods: This is a prospective survey having concerned 100 diabetic women surveyed in the Maternity ward of the CHU Ibn Rochd of Casablanca, during a five-month period, between April and September 2021.<p clas...

Introduction: Gestational diabetes (GD) is the consequence of an exaggerated insulin resistance associated with a defect insulin secretion. It is a high-risk pregnancy due to its maternal and foetal complications, the pathogenesis of which involves maternal hyperglycaemia.Materials and methods: This is a retrospective study of 64 parturients, carried out from January 1, 2019 to January 1, 2020 in the gynaecology obstetrics of the Lalla Meryem maternity h...

Introduction: Pregnancy in diabetics is one of the most frequent forms of high-risk pregnancy. It requires diabetic-obstetric-neonatalogical collaboration. Its risks affect the fetomaternal prognosis in the short and long term. Materials and methods: The aim of our work is to establish the main difficulties in the management of diabetic pregnancy. This is a retrospective study of 100 pregnant diabetic patients followed at the maternity hospital of CHU IBN ROCHD of CASABLANCA, ...

Introduction: Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) is a genetically and clinically heterogeneous type of diabetes mellitus, characterized by early onset (often before 25 years of age) and absence of pancreatic autoimmunity markers.Case: We report a 20 years old female diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 18, with positive glutamic acid decarboxylase antibodies and low C peptide level. She had no history of diabetic ketoacidosis or hypoglycemia. H...

Objective: We aim to examine the effects of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) within our local population by means of pre- and post-CGM introduction A1C, time spent in hypoglycaemia and time spent within personalised target.Methods: Retrospective study of the County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust (CDDFT) patient group who use CGM was undertaken via the platform ‘twinkle’ and ‘diasend’. Results were graphed prior to statistic...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common cause for hypercalcemia, however severe hypercalcemia remain a rare complication. The atypical parathyroid adenoma is an uncommon cause to severe hypercalcemia. We report a case of a 40-year-old male with very high serum calcium due to a possible atypical parathyroid diagnosed after a spontaneous fracture.Case report: A 40-year-old male was admitted to the traumatology department for the management of...

Contexte: Acromegaly is a rare disease, usually caused by hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH) by a pituitary adenoma and very rarely by ectopic secretion of GHRH. It remains a serious disease reduces life expectancy because of its cardiovascular and metabolic impact.Objective: The objective of this study is to report the glycemic profile in patients followed for acromegaly in the endocrinologic center of CHU Med VI of Marrakech.P...
