Introduction: Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder involving hypogonadism manifested by cryptorchidism, micropenis and/or delayed pubertyObservation: We report the case of a 13 year old child, who was consulted for obesity and whose physical examination showed major signs of SBB: global obesity, polydactyly, learning difficulties and visual disorders. Genital examination revealed a 1 cm genital tubercle with a single...

Background: Acromegaly is associated with an increased left ventricular mass, as reported in echo-based and more recently in few cardiac MRI studies. One possible explanation of this increased ventricular mass could be water retention and consequently edema of the ventricular wall.Methods: In this prospective, cross-sectional study 26 patients with active acromegaly and 31 control subjects of comparable age and sex were investigated by cardiac MRI. Patie...

Background: Thyroid cancer have good global prognosis with survival rate exceeding 85% at 5 years. Survivors are exposed to higher cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than the general population. The objective of this study is to quantify the prevalence of cardiovascular health levels in an Algerian cohort of thyroid cancer survivors who were considered free of any classical cardiovascular risk factors or cardiovascular diseaseMethods: A cohort of pat...

Objectives: Cardiovascular disease encountered the leading cause of death in thyroid cancer survivals exceeding death by cancer itself. Etiological factors are the therapy used and the duration of exposure to this it, the diagnosis of cancer itself, or the factors that led to this cancer. We aim to evaluate cardiometabolic risk factors in an Algerian cohort of thyroid cancer survivals.Methods: The study includes a cohort of patients followed in the thyro...

A major cause of morbidity is post COVID-19 complications. The symptoms of carbohydrate dysfunction can be due to has relationship with coronavirus disease. In patients with chronic disorders after SARS-CoV-2 infection, aggravation of pre-existing symptoms has also been noticed. Diabetes insipidus (DI) may be at risk of dysnatraemia when developing respiratory complications of COVID-19. Particularly, the combination of two or more concurrent disorder is a major problem in pati...

Background: Over the last year the social consequences of obesity has become significant, with weight-based stigmatization and prejudiced common outcomes. Toxic hepatitis is one of those diseases that has obese as comorbidity in different age groups. The pervasiveness of prejudice toward obese in patients with toxic hepatitis makes it imperative that scientists have access to valid and reliable measures to assess weight bias.Objectives: Age groups struct...

Toxic hepatitis is a diffuse inflammatory process in the liver which is caused by the impact of industrial poisons of hepatotoxic action in doses exceeding the maximum allowable concentration. Given the complexity of differentiation, in fact, the symptoms of the disease from possible side effects of treatment, the statistics of the prevalence of the disease in this profile is quite ambiguous. Data from clinical studies show that in the structure of acute and chronic liver dise...

BackgroundCardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a chronic complication associated with high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality either in patients with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes. However, risk factors of CAN in patients with prediabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) was not fully investigated.AimsThe aim of this study was to investigate risk factors of CAN in patients with predia...

BackgroundCurrently, the overweight and obesity influence on human organs and systems is being studied all over the world, which are based on the violation of metabolic processes of fat and carbon metabolism, hyperglycemia with glucose toxicity, insulin resistance, obesity and metabolic syndrome. NAFLD progresses not only from steatosis to steatohepatitis (NASH), but is accompanied by liver fibrosis with transformation into cirrhosis and hepatocellular c...

BackgroundOver the last years obesity has become an important medical and social problem in almost all countries of the world. The social significance of the problem is determined by the disability threat of patients and reduction of overall life expectancy due to the frequent comorbidities development. According to scientific data and modern ideas, there are a number of factors that affect not only the course of toxic hepatitis, but also the therapy eff...
