In this context, we report a medical observation.Observation: A 58-year-old patient with no history of smoking was admitted to one of our departments. Thyroidectomy 4 years ago, the pathological study a poorly differentiated carcinoma of 4.5 cm, class PT2 TNM. Our patient had benefite...

Introduction: Endocrinopathies, characterized by dysfunctions in the endocrine system and its hormonal glands, emerge as a significant cause of secondary diabetes. These conditions induce complex disturbances in glucose metabolism, leading to insulin resistance or alterations in insulin production, pivotal factors in the development of secondary diabetes. This study aims to describe the etiological profiles of secondary diabetes and evaluate its evolution after treating the un...

Introduction: Hypocalcemia is one of the most common electrolyte disorders. It is defined by a total calcium level <2.12 mmol/l (85 mg/l). Acute hypocalcemia is considered as a medical emergency.Objectives: To describe the epidemiological, clinical, and etiological profile of patients undergoing treatment for acute hypocalcemia, as well as the management.Patients Et Methods: This is a retrospective study including 60 patients h...

Introduction: Hypercalcemia crisis constitutes a metabolic emergency associated with high mortality. Occasionally, it can be the mode of revelation of primary hyperparathyroidism. Objectives: To analyze the clinical characteristics of patients presenting with hypercalcemia crisis revealing primary hyperparathyroidism. And to describe the complications and evolution of the disease.Patients and methods: Retrospective descriptive stud...

Introduction: Hypoparathyroidism refers to a set of clinical and biological manifestations that occur when parathormone secretion is insufficient. Individuals enduring persistent hypoparathyroidism encounter various symptoms and face enduring complications that may jeopardize their overall well-being."Objectives: The objective of our study is to assess the quality of life (QOL) of patients followed for hypoparathyroidism receiving conventional treatm...

Introduction: Hypoglycemia is a common complication of diabetes in cases of perfect glycemic balance, leading to a deterioration in the quality of life for diabetic patients. Early perception of hypoglycemia symptoms can improve the health status of diabetic adolescents.Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the self-perception of hypoglycemia symptoms in adolescents with type 1 diabetes.Materials and Methods: A prospective...

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes constitutes a major public health problem. In 2017, the International Diabetes Federation estimated that 425 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes, and by 2045, this number is projected to rise to 629 million. Objectives: The aim of our study is to assess the impact of patient’s socio-economic status (SES) on their glycemic control.Patients Et Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional...

Introduction: Perioperative hyperglycemia is associated with several adverse effects, including infection and cardiovascular events. Glycemic control is likely to be beneficial in reducing postoperative mortality.Objectives: Our study aims to assess glycemic balance in the perioperative period and the impact of glycemic imbalance on postoperative complications.Patients and Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted on...
