Background and aims: Thyroid disorders (TDs) are frequent in women of reproductive age, with a major influence on both female reproductive function and fetal development. During pregnancy, TDs associate a high risk of miscarriages, premature birth or neonatal morbidity. Our study aimed to assess both TDs prevalence in pregnant women and the need to adjust the necessary treatment during pregnancies complicated with TDs.Patients and method: This is a retro...

Introduction: Arginine vasopressin (AVP) disorder, formerly known as diabetes insipidus (DI), is a disease that results in either decreased release and/or secretion of antidiuretic hormone (AVP deficiency or central DI) or a reduced response to it (AVP resistance or nephrogenic DI). Carcinoid tumors are rare malignant neuroendocrine epithelial tumor, 25% occurring in the lungs, making them the second most common site. Atypical carcinoids and the development of metastases are a...

Background and aims: Ovarian reserve screening is considered to play a key role in the prediction of quantitative and qualitative aspects in assisted reproductive technologies (ART). The ovarian reserve markers currently used include the serum levels of FSH, oestadiol, inhibin B, anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) as well as ultrasound antral follicular counts (AFC). Despite controversial results, most of the existing studies suggest that, compared to other markers of the ovari...

We present the case of a 36-year-old female with a focal neonatal hyperinsulinism diagnosed at birth in a context of hypoglycemia that was resistant to Diazoxide treatment. A subtotal pancreatectomy was performed and histology showed a focal hyperinsulinism. The mutation of ABCC8 was not searched at this point. The patient developed an insulin dependent diabetes at the age of 9 and required an insulin pump. In 2017 the patient was planning a pregnancy so she consulted a geneti...
