Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2024/07/25

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder characterised by low levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone. This report highlights iatrogenic hypoparathyroidism in a juvenile Graves' disease patient post near-total thyroidectomy, leading to low serum calcium and parathyroid hormone levels. Uncommon complications emerged, including asymptomatic basal ganglia calcification, medullary nephrocalcinosis, and bilateral cataracts. The case emphasises the need to recognize and manage the compl...

Article Type: Cross Sectional Study | First Published: 2024/07/22

Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of metabolic homeostasis controlled by the beta cell hormone; insulin, leading to abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats. Type 1 is caused by an absolute deficiency of insulin due to the progressive destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas. While the prevalence is between 15-30 million patients worldwide, the incidence of T1DM varies sharply across countries and age groups; with the highest incidence observed in children between 10 and 14-yea...

Refractory Hyperglycemia and Hypokalemic Paralysis: Rare Initial Presentation of Cushing Disease

Richmond R Gomes and Habiba Akhter

Article Type: Case Report | First Published: 2023/12/30

Cushing syndrome (CS) is a rare disease that results from prolonged supraphysiologic tissue action of glucocorticoids. This can be caused by a tumor of the adrenal glands, the lungs or the pituitary gland. When a pituitary tumor produces too much ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), it causes the overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands. When the pituitary is the source of the over production, it is called Cushing's disease. Cushing's disease (CD) remains a diagnostic and therapeutic chal...
