Increased prevalence of germline pathogenic CHEK2 variants in individuals with pituitary adenomas
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study to suggest a role for the breast cancer predisposition gene, CHEK2, in pituitary tumorigenesis, with pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants found in 3% of patients with pituitary adenomas. As pituitary adenomas are relatively common and typically lack classical autosomal dominant family histories, risk alleles - such as these variants found in CHEK2 - might be a significant contributor to pituitary adenoma risk in the general population.PMID:38651569 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae268 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Medullary Thyroid Cancer: Single Institute Experience over Three Decades and Risk Factors for Recurrence
CONCLUSION: One of 4 patients undergoing surgery for MTC will recur. Risk factors associated with recurrence are male gender, lateral LN metastasis and high/highest MTC risk level mutations, but not necessarily surgery type. Preoperative calcitonin>2,175 pg/mL is suggestive of advanced disease and should prompt further evaluation.PMID:38651609 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae279 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Approach to the patient: Concept and application of targeted radiotherapy in the paraganglioma patient
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Apr 23:dgae252. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgae252. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTParagangliomas can metastasize, posing potential challenges in both symptomatic management and disease control. Systemic targeted radiotherapies using 131I-MIBG and 177Lu-DOTATATE are a mainstay in the treatment of metastatic paragangliomas. This clinical scenario and discussion aim to enhance physicians' knowledge of the stepwise approach to treat these patients with paraganglioma targeted radiotherapies. It comprehensively discusses current approaches to selecting paraganglioma patients for targeted radiotherapies and...

SHBG gene polymorphisms and their influence on serum SHBG, total and free testosterone concentrations in men
CONCLUSION: In these men, analyzed SNPs were relatively prevalent and affected serum concentrations of total T and SHBG but not calculated or measured free T except for a higher trend in rs6259 homozygotes.PMID:38652149 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae280 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors vs. metformin for new-onset dementia: a propensity score-matched cohort study
CONCLUSION: In this real-world study, we found that DPP4 inhibitors presented an association with a lower risk of dementia in individuals with type 2 diabetes than metformin, particularly in older people and those without diabetes-related comorbidities.PMID:38652239 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae281 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Hemostatic Effects of Exercise-Related Hypoglycemia in Male Persons With Type 1 Diabetes
CONCLUSION: Individuals with T1D exhibit a hypercoagulable hemostatic profile compared to healthy controls and exercise-related hypoglycemia may increase the susceptibility to thrombosis via both procoagulant and antifibrinolytic effects.PMID:38642404 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae278 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Genetic underpinnings of fasting and oral glucose-stimulated based insulin sensitivity indices
CONCLUSION: Even though the IS indices mostly share a common genetic background, notable differences emerged between OGTT0,120 indices. The fasting and OGTT based indices have distinct associations with T2D risk variants. This work provides a basis for future large-scale genetic investigations into the differences between IS indices.PMID:38635292 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae275 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Obesity, Inflammation, and Clinical Outcomes in COVID-19: A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study

Effects of hypertriglyceridemia with or without NEFA elevation on β-cell function and insulin clearance and sensitivity
CONCLUSION: In healthy non-obese subjects, mild acute hypertriglyceridemia directly reduces glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and clearance, and has selective and opposite effects on β-cell function that are neutralized by NEFAs. These findings provide new insight into plausible biological signals that generate and sustain insulin resistance and chronic hyperinsulinemia in the development of T2D.PMID:38635405 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae276 (Source: The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism)

Approach to the Neonate with Hypoglycemia
J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2024 Apr 17:dgae267. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgae267. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAfter birth, healthy neonates undergo a period of altered glucose metabolism, known as "transitional hypoglycemia". During the first 0-4 hours of life, the mean plasma glucose concentration decreases to 57 mg/dL, then by 72-96 hours of life increases to 82 mg/dL, well within the normal adult range. Recent data suggests that transitional hypoglycemia is due to persistence of the fetal beta cell's lower threshold for insulin release, resulting in a transient hyperinsulinemic state. While hypoglycemia is an expected part o...
