Treatment of vitamin D deficiency in children
Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Oct 11:1-14. doi: 10.1080/17446651.2023.2270053. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Vitamin D deficiency affects from 10% to 50% in various pediatric population groups and causes life-threatening hypocalcemia in infants, crippling rickets in infants and children, and increased risk of subsequent adult metabolic and neurologic problems.AREAS COVERED: An English language literature search of PubMed was performed since 1940 as were the authors' personal literature collections. References identified in the reviewed literature are considered.DIAGNOSIS: The diagnosis of vitamin D defici...

Diagnosis and management of post-bariatric surgery hypoglycemia
This article highlights the importance of identifying hypoglycemia in patients with a history of bariatric surgery, reviews pathophysiology and addresses available nutritional, pharmacological and surgical management options. Systemic evaluation including careful history taking, confirmation of hypoglycemia and biochemical assessment is essential to establish accurate diagnosis. Understanding the weight-dependent and weight-independent mechanisms of improved postoperative glycemic control can provide better insight into the causes of the exaggerated responses that lead to postoperative hypoglycemia.EXPERT OPINION: Manageme...

The environmental burden on endocrine neoplasia: a review on the documented impact of endocrine disrupting chemicals
Expert Rev Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Oct 6:1-12. doi: 10.1080/17446651.2023.2268215. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have gained more importance in the past decade, mostly due to their role in the pathogenesis of disease, especially in carcinogenesis. However, there is limited literature on the environmental burden on some of the less common endocrine neoplasia.AREAS COVERED: This review focuses on both observational and experimental studies linking exposure to EDCs and endocrine neoplasia specifically pituitary, thyroid, adrenal and neuroendocrine tumors. Following PRISMA gui...

Understanding the development of sarcopenic obesity
We describe emerging areas of future research that will likely be needed to advance this nascent field, including changes in clinical infrastructure, an enhanced understanding of the lifecourse, and potential treatments.PMID:37840295 | DOI:10.1080/17446651.2023.2267672 (Source: Expert Review of Endocrinology and Metabolism)
