Recombinant Human Growth Hormone Treatment in liver transplant patient. Case report

Galesanu Corina

Background: Linear growth is often impaired after successful liver transplantation. Factors that negatively impacted growth are age, graft function and corticosteroid immunosuppression. Short-statured prepubertal liver transplant recipients who do not show sufficient compensatory growth after transplantation benefit from treatment with recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH).Cas report: We communicate the results after the first year of rhGH treatment in...

Aggressive evolution of a neuroendocrine tumors of the lung (Lu-NETs) - case report

Galesanu Corina

Background: Lu-NETs are a heterogeneous family of neoplasms ranging from quite indolent lesions with extremely aggressive tumors with very poor prognosis. These neuroendocrine entities are further summarized into two groups according to their biological aggressiveness: Well-differentiated: carcinoids typical (G1) and atypical (G2).Poorly-differentiate: SCLC (Combined) and LCNEC (Combined) (G3). Alarm signal on the aggressive evolution of the SCLCCase rep...

Adrenal insufficiency: etiopathogeny and diagnostic aspects

Crista Corina , Niederl Corina Laura

The diagnosis of the adrenal insufficiency requires complex clinical, laboratory and imagistic investigations. The study group was represented by 59 cases of adrenal insufficiency hospitalized in the Clinic of Endocrinology Timisoara, Romania, during the period 2000–2010 (age=42.10±16.30 years; F/M ratio=43/16). The patients were divided in two groups: primary adrenal insufficiency (42.37%) and secondary adrenal insufficiency (57.63%). In the group of primary adrenal...

Association of polycystic ovary syndrome and graves’ disease – case report

Radu Cristina Corina Pop

Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine system disorder among women of reproductive age. Although some studies have suggested an association between PCOS and autoimmune thyroiditis, only a few cases indicating association between PCOS and Graves’ disease are reported.Case report: We present a woman aged 29 with Graves' disease certified by suppressed TSH (0.001 mUI/l), high FT4 (6.6 ng/dl) associated with elevated TRAb (...

A case of primary autoimmune hypophysitis associated with hashimoto’s disease, alopecia areata and chronic hepatitis

Pop-Radu Cristina Corina

Background: Primary autoimmune hypophysitis (PAH) is a rare chronic inflammatory condition of the pituitary gland that occurs more commonly in females during pregnancy or in the post-partum period. It is strongly associated with other autoimmune disorders. The various forms of hypophysitis are misdiagnosed as pituitary adenoma in 40% cases.Objective: First of all, we propose to present a case of PAH associated with other autoimmune diseases. Our second a...

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPH)

Pop-Radu Cristina Corina

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPH) is characterized by normal total and ionized serum calcium concentrations and consistently elevated PTH levels. These patients have no obvious causes for secondary elevations of PTH, such as renal disease, vitamin D deficiency or malnutrition. The group consisted of 22 postmenopausal women, six premenopausal women, and two men, aged 58±2 years (range 31–77) investigated between 2011 and 2016.Resul...

Pituitary insufficiency – etiopathogeny and diagnostic aspects

Crista Corina , Hotaran Georgiana

The study group was represented by 155 cases of pituitary insufficiency (age: 37.21±16.05; F/M=116/39) hospitalized in the Clinic of Endocrinology Timişoara during the period 2006–2014. The cases were classified into ethiopatogenic groups, as follows: iatrogenic pituitary insufficiency (23.87%), tumor compression (21.29%), ischemia (14.84%), idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (3.87%), congenital pituitary insufficiency (6.45%), empty sella (6.45%), functio...

Paget’s disease of bone - case report and a review of epidemiology, pathophysiology and management

Corina Pop Radu Cristina

Introduction: Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is the second-most-common metabolic bone disease, after osteoporosis, affecting about 3% of the population at age over 40 years. This disease is characterized by excessive and abnormal bone remodeling due to increased bone resorption followed by disorganized bone formation.This paper will include a case report and a review of PDB epidemiology and pathophysiology, complications and clinical findings, indica...

Pulmonary neuroendocrine tumour presenting with thyroid gland metastasis: a case report

Pop Radu Cristina Corina

Introduction: Neuroendocrine tumours (NET) represent ~20% of all primary neoplasms of the lung. Histologic confirmation is important for treatment and prognosis determination. NET are classified according to four subtypes in the lung: typical carcinoid tumour (TC), atypical carcinoid tumour (AC), small cell carcinoma (SCC), and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC). TC is low-grade, AC is intermediate-grade, and SCC and LCNEC are high-grade malignancies.<p class="abs...
