Aims: Percutaneous aspiration and ethanol injection (PEI) is effective in managing predominantly cystic (>50% cystic) thyroid nodules with efficacy ranging from 38-85%. We aimed to evaluate efficacy, safety, factors determining outcomes of PEI simple (purely vs. complex (having both solid components) nodules. Materials Methods: Predominantly nodules, without any ultrasonography and/or fine needle aspiration, evidence malignancy were aspirated guided. Sterile 100% (50-100% volume aspirated)...
Impact of body fat distribution on bone mineral content (BMC) and density (BMD) at different sites has not been studied in type-2 diabetes (T2DM). This study aimed to compare BMC BMD normal (BMI < 25 kg/m(2)) increased BMI ≥ T2DM patients with age matched controls, evaluate the impact lean mass parameters them.Seventy-six 56 controls underwent anthropometric assessment, blood sampling estimation BMC, BMD, by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Increased individuals (n = 63) had...
Asymptomatic reversible pituitary hyperplasia is common in patients with untreated primary hypothyroidism. Occurrence of empty sella (ES) this scenario extremely rare (only three reports till the date) and panhypopituitarism has not been reported such patients. We report a 27 year man severe short stature (height-133 cm; standard deviation score-7.36) delayed puberty who had symptoms suggestive hypothyroidism along chronic persistent headache since 6 years age. Pituitary imaging done for at...
Bilateral macronodular adrenocortical disease as a part of McCune Albright Syndrome (MAS) is the most common cause endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) in infancy. Adrenocortical tumors causing CS infancy are extremely rare. We report case girl with who presented at age 4 months obesity and growth retardation. Her 8 am paired cortisol adrenocorticotropic hormone levels were 49.3 µg/dL <1 pg/mL, respectively non-suppressed serum (41 µg/dL) on high-dose dexamethasone suppression test. Abdominal...
Cretinism is a condition of severely stunted physical and mental growth due to untreated congenital hypothyroidism. It has been largely eliminated in the developed world, though we still continue see cases India.A 22-year-old male was brought our Endocrine clinic by his brother "not growing up". The patient 83 cm height (SDS - 16.98) weighed 13.9 kg (<3(rd) percentile). He had dull look, puffy face with thick lips, macroglossia, umbilical hernia. There sexual infancy prepubertal testes (<3...
There is a paucity of data with conflicting reports regarding the extent and pattern bone mineral (BM) loss in Graves' disease (GD), especially young adults. Also, interpretation BM Indians limited by use T-score cut-offs derived from Caucasians. This study was aimed to evaluate occurrence osteoporosis active treatment naive patients GD determine factors predicting loss, using standard T-scores Caucasians compare proposed Indian Council Medical Research (ICMR) for diagnosing Indians.Patients...
Hirsuitism though not uncommon (24%), is considered to be a prominent feature of acromegaly because its lack specificity and occurrence. very common in women reproductive age (5-7%) has been classically associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Twenty-eight year lady 3 duration hirsuitism (Modified Ferriman Gallwey score-24/36), features insulin resistance (acanthosis), subtle acromegaloidism (woody nose bulbous lips) was diagnosed have view elevated IGF-1 (1344 ng/ml; normal:...
A structured dedicated health programme for Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been initiated in the state of West Bengal, India.The aim is to provide comprehensive healthcare all children, adolescents and young adults living with T1DM, along provision free supply insulin, glucose measuring devices, blood test strips, other logistics. The strategic framework implementation utilise infrastructure manpower already existing non-communicable disease (NCD) clinic under National Health...
Thyroid associated orbitopathy, although seen most commonly with thyrotoxicosis, is also known to occur in primary hypothyroidism. Myasthenia gravis an autoimmune condition established association thyroid disease. We report the case of a patient who presented recent onset unilateral ptosis that was fatigable history proptosis since year. On examination, she had goiter, bilateral proptosis, restriction upward gaze and adduction both eyes normal pupils. Investigations revealed hypothyroidism...
Introduction: Marcus Gunn jaw winking syndrome (MGJWS) is a rare congenital disorder belonging to the synkinetic eye movement group of disorders observed in children. It occurrence adults and patients with diabetes has not been reported. Material Methods: A 64 year man poorly controlled 18 years presented 3 month history on left side along gustatory sweating, which was managed conservatively. There spontaneous improvement wink at 4 months follow up. Conclusions: Acquired causes MGJWS are...
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) secreting adenomas are the rarest type of pituitary (1:1000000 in population; 0.2- 2.8% adenomas). Plurihormonal thyrotropic even rarer usually having cosecretion growth (GH) and prolactin. We report perhaps for first time, TSH, GH, adrenocorticotrophic (ACTH) gonadotropins macroadenoma diagnosed a 40 year lady presenting with features thyrotoxicosis 5 months, amenorrhea 3 months newly diabetes hypertension 2 along headache, nausea, vomiting, who had...
Cushing's syndrome (CS) due to ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) and/or corticotropic releasing (CRH) secretion accounts for <10% of all CS. Neuroendocrine carcinomas rarely cause These have been found secrete either ACTH or CRH. Herein we report a case neuroendocrine carcinoma originating from the thyroid as source ACTH-dependent CS.A 30-year-old woman with features CS presented severe respiratory distress. Six months before that, she was diagnosed primary hypothyroidism and...
46, XY difference/disorder of sex development (DSD) is a relatively uncommon group heterogeneous disorders with varying degree underandrogenization male genitalia. Such patients should be approached systematically to reach an aetiological diagnosis. However, we lack, at present, clinical practice guideline on diagnostic approach in DSD from this part the globe. Moreover, debate persists regarding timing and cut-offs different hormonal tests, performed these cases. The consensus committee...
