Hyperprolactinemia is a frequent cause for medical referrals to endocrinology departments. Markedly elevated prolactin levels are generally indicative of macroprolactinomas, whereas mild to moderate hyperprolactinemia may arise from physiological factors (such as exercise, sleep or stress), pharmacological agents, metabolic disturbances, ...
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a non-Hodgkin B-cell lymphoma originating from the germinal center, characterized by dysregulation of the MYC gene, often resulting from the translocation of chromosome 8 into 14. It is extremely aggressive, representing the fastest proliferating cancer, and typically involves ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major public health concern in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) of Asia and Africa, which have a high burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and malnutrition. It is epidemic in these regions being associated with ...
The use of immunotherapy in the treatment of cancer has been revolutionary, opening a new era in the fight against cancer. The principle of immunotherapy involves using pharmacotherapy to harness the power of the body’s own immune system to ...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age, is a heterogeneous androgen-excess disorder with different degrees of reproductive and metabolic dysfunctions.1Â Thyroid disorders are also quite common and are among the most common endocrine ...
McCune–Albright syndrome (MAS) is a genetic disorder first described by McCune1 and Albright2 in the 1930s as a triad of polyostotic fibrous dysplasia, café-au-lait spots, and precocious puberty (Figure 1). Since then, other hyperfunctioning endocrinopathies have been described in ...
The pituitary gland, or hypophysis, is the ‘master gland’ that secretes multiple hormones which regulate the functioning of other endocrine organs, such as the thyroid, adrenal cortex and gonads. Though none of the major pituitary hormones directly control the endocrine ...
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare endocrine tumour deriving from the adrenal cortex. Its estimated incidence is one per million/year,1 with an increased incidence in the first and fourth to fifth decades of life and with a higher prevalence ...
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive age women.1 According to National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria (presence of ovulatory dysfunction and hyperandrogenism, after exclusion of related disorders), PCOS is estimated to affect 6–8% of women ...
Pituitary tumors are the most common form of intracranial neoplasms. Their prevalence in autopsy series was reported as 5–20 %.1 However, clinically relevant pituitary tumors presenting with disturbances of hormonal secretion or mass effect are rare, with an estimated prevalence of 200/1,000,000 and ...
Acromegaly is an uncommon disorder characterized by excess secretion of growth hormone (GH), resulting in the classical growth of bone and soft tissues, multi-system involvement with multiple comorbidities, and heightened risk of premature mortality. GH is produced by the somatotroph ...
Prolactin Prolactin is a polypeptide hormone produced and secreted by the adenohypophysis. This hormone is in the family with growth hormone and human placental lactogen; in fact, they are sufficiently homologous to suggest a common ancestral gene. Prolactin Prolactin is ...
Male androgen deficiency has become a burgeoning area of public and commercial interest. Male androgen deficiency (commonly called male hypogonadism) is a common and important endocrinological syndrome defined by signs and symptoms of androgen deficiency plus low serum testosterone levels. ...

Acromegaly is an uncommon disorder, with an annual incidence of three to four cases per million.1,2 It is characterized by excessive secretion of growth hormone (GH), resulting in exaggerated growth of bone and soft tissues, multisystem involvement with multiple comorbidities, ...
Diabetes is a silent killer that today kills one person every 10 seconds. It is a global drama with devastating human, social and economic impacts. New data recently released by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) indicates that more than 230 million people ...
