Introduction: Inflammation has been involved in the physiopathology of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Hematological inflammatory markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and white blood cell count (WBC) can serve as predictive markers for a systemic inflammatory response. This study aimed to evaluate hematological inflammatory markers in T1DM patients with DKA and without-DKA in an uninfected state and to determine their role in the prediction of DKA.<p class="ab...

Introduction: Primary amyloidosis is a multi-systemic disease difficult to identify given the diversity of the disorders that it can cause especially at an early stage of the disease. This makes its diagnosis difficult in case of association with a pathology that can be intricate with its clinical expression. In this context we report the first case in the literature associating mitochondrial diabetes (DM) with a primary amyloidosisCase: A 32 years old g...

Introduction: Turner Syndrome (TS) is known to be associated with congenital malformations and a greater incidence of autoimmune disease. Many others organs systems are also affected to varying degrees and at different stages of life such as abnormal liver function. This disease is often detected on routine investigation and is not accompanied by signs or symptoms of liver disease. We report the case of a young Turnerian who presents a disruption of his hepatic balance with a ...

Introduction: The pituitary stalk is the target of various congenital or acquired pathologies. In this context we report a cohort of 28 patients with pathology of the pituitary stalk to analyze their clinical, hormonal and radiological characteristics.Results: The average age of our patients was 28 years with extremes ranging from (15 to 64); Male dominance was noted in 60% of cases. The reason for consultation was either a staturo delay or a pubertal de...

Introduction: Turner syndrome (ST) affects 1/2500–1/4000 of female births, its association with congenital malformations is traditional, however the coexistence of hypopituitarism is exceptional. In this context, we report 6 patients; including 3 belonging to the same family and in whom the association of anterior pituitary insufficiency (IAH) to a ST was confirmed.Results: The average age of our patients was 17.2 years (11–31). The ST was sele...

IntroductionMitochondrial diabetes (DM) is characterized by a broad spectrum of phenotypic and genotypic involvement. Among 86 patients with DM, we chose to study the peculiarities of syndromic DM diagnosed in three families in order to be able to establish a correlation between this diversity of phenotypic expression and the biomolecular substratum of the mitochondrial genome.ResultsThese are four patients (...

IntroductionObesity is a social scourge. Masked arterial hypertension (HTAM) is a relatively recently described entity that poses a diagnostic problem and places the patient with it at an increased risk of cardiovascular events. In this context we report a prospective study of 50 patients to determine the prevalence and predictive factors of HTAM.MethodsDescriptive study of obese patients treated in the Endoc...
