Case report: We report a young woman with ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS), headache, visual field defect and pituitary macro adenoma. The patient was treated about four years ago as pituitary PRL-secreting adenoma with carbergoline. The evaluation of other hormones FSH, LH and Estradiol values wasn’t done. The patient presented to our hospital with abdominal pain and headaches and amenohrrea. The pregnancy test was negative and pelcic ultrasound demonstrated enl...

IntroductionCalcium is an important metabolite. Abnormal blood calcium levels can affect brain function resulting in clinical signs. Iatrogenic hypercalcemia is a disorder rarely described in literature and there are few reported cases of association with neuropsychiatric manifestations. Psychiatric symptoms and abnormal physical symptoms are usually observed with a serum calcium level above 12 mg/dl. Our case report findings suggest the importance of co...

IntroductionProlactinomas are the most common pituitary tumors and a common cause of infertility because of gonadal dysfunction, in young women. The treatment of choice is dopamine agonists, which can restore fertility and promote shrinking of the tumor in the majority of cases. Managing prolactinomas during pregnancy may be challenging. Treatment discontinuation is recommended once the pregnancy is confirmed in women with microprolactinoma. For micropro...

IntroductionCOVID-19 can precipitate hyperglycaemic emergencies like Hyperosmolar Hyperglycaemic State (HHS) in patients with or without DM. It is currently hypothesized that COVID-19 may have a diabetogenic effect in addition to the stress-related response of glucose metabolism in severe illness. Dexamethasone reduces mortality in people with COVID-19 who require ventilation or oxygen therapy but can impair glucose metabolism. We present a case with HHS...

Background: The presence of diabetes and the degree of hyperglycemia is considered an independent factor in the clinical severity of COVID-19 infection, impacting the duration of hospital stay and other related medical conditions.Objective: To identify the correlation between the insulin needs in COVID-19 patients and hospital stay and other related medical conditions. To identify the factors that would contribute to diabetes onset during COVID-19 infect...

Introduction: Selenium is a mineral that plays a key role in the intracellular reactions of the thyroid. Some selenium-based proteins have a protective antioxidant function in thyrocytes. Likewise, Selenium is incorporated into deiodinases, helping in the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Through its antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties, selenium affects the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases, such as Graves Disease. Supplementation with selenium is often prescrib...

Background: The relationship between diabetes and COVID-19 is known to be bidirectional. Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and hyperglycemia are important risk factors for poor outcomes in hospitalized patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia.Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of glycemic control pre- and after admission, on outcomes of hospitalised patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.Methods: A total of 400 ho...
