The effect of GnRH-a on the angiogenesis of endometriosis
CONCLUSIONS: GnRH-a administration does affect some pathways of angiogenesis in endometriotic lesions, but not all of them. Therefore, supplementary treatments that affect the SP1 pathway of angiogenesis should be developed to enhance the antiangiogenetic effect of GnRH-a in patients with endometriosis.TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrial.gov ID: NCT06106932.PMID:38639888 | DOI:10.1007/s42000-024-00559-6 (Source: Hormones)

Illness stress-induced transient hyperglycemia in a patient with a novel YIPF5 homozygous missense variant: expanding the phenotype
Hormones (Athens). 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1007/s42000-024-00552-z. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTA recently described type of neonatal diabetes mellitus is caused by mutations in the YIPF5 gene and is combined with manifestations from the central nervous system, including developmental delay, epilepsy, and microcephaly. The molecular pathophysiology behind this phenotype involves the breakdown of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response due to the loss of protein folding capacity. This results in overt diabetes present from very early in life. Herein, we describe a patient with a newly reported variant in the YIPF5 gene, wh...

Once upon a time in Anatolia: the kings with bulging eyes
Hormones (Athens). 2024 Apr 18. doi: 10.1007/s42000-024-00561-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Hittite Empire, formed by the Hittites who settled in central Anatolia at the beginning of the second millennium BC, has left behind rich archeological remains. In this historical review, statues of the Hittite priest-kings, King Idrimi, King Šuppiluliuma, and King Tarhunza, who ruled in these lands in ancient times, are analyzed. Graves' disease (GD) is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism. Patients with GD are also at risk of developing Graves' orbitopathy (GO). Upper eyelid retraction and exophthalmos (bulging eyes) a...

Evaluation of the relation between subclinical systolic dysfunction defined by four-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography and growth differentiation factor-15 levels in patients with acromegaly
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that while LVEF was within normal limits, global strain parameters (GLS, GCS, GAS, and GRS) measured by using a novel imaging technique, 4DSTE, were lower in patients with acromegaly, suggesting the presence of subclinical systolic dysfunction in patients with acromegaly. GDF-15 can be a potential predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with acromegaly.PMID:38632216 | DOI:10.1007/s42000-024-00558-7 (Source: Hormones)
