Evolution of obesity and insulin resistance: relevance to PCOS

Barrett Tim

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is one of the commonest endocrine disorders of young women, and the commonest cause of reduced fertility in this age group. There are fundamental metabolic disturbances integral to the syndrome that lead to significant cardiovascular risk, and these include obesity, insulin resistance, beta cell dysfunction, impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obstructive sleep apnoea, a pro-coagulant state, and endothe...

Characterising puberty in children and young people with Alstrom Syndrome

Anwunah Ijeoma , Barrett Tim , Kershaw Melanie

Background: Alstrom syndrome (AS) is a very rare multisystem disorder secondary to mutations in the ALMS1 gene, associated with infantile cardiomyopathy, retinal dystrophy, early onset obesity, and diabetes. Whilst a previous international review, including 35 males, cited pubertal delay and hypogonadism to be common, no detailed characterisation of puberty exists. This retrospective longitudinal analysis aims to describe puberty in boys with AS.<p class="...

Research Facilitation or Management

Giles Tim

There are many opportunities for those who pursue a career in science. This can include a direct route through academia and ultimately becoming a professor and leading your own research group. However, very few people go all the way through with this and therefore it is important to consider other options. Further career paths could include working in industry, government or in a research support setting amongst others. A career in research support is a rewarding one, often be...

Developing an early stage treatment for diabetic retinopathy

Curtis Tim

Diabetic retinopathy is a serious complication of diabetes that can lead to vision loss and blindness. With the prevalence of diabetes rising in children, the number of young people at risk of developing diabetic retinopathy is expected to increase in the coming years. Current treatments for diabetic retinopathy only target the end-stages of the disease when significant retinal damage has already occurred. Thus, there remains an unmet medical need for new treatments, particula...

Hyperthyroidism

Korevaar Tim

In this presentation I will discuss various aspects of hyperthyroidism during pregnancy. First of all, I will discuss that the epidemiology points towards a physiological underlying cause but I will also exhibit the differential diagnoses that should be addressed. Second, I will discuss preconception and gestational management of Graves’ disease, specifically focusing on new concepts regarding antithyroid drug choice, cessation and options in case of antithyroid drug fai...
