SUMMARY: Acromegaly is a rare, chronic progressive disorder with characteristic clinical features caused by persistent hypersecretion of growth hormone (GH), mostly from a pituitary adenoma (95%). Occasionally, ectopic production of GH or growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH) with resultant GH...

The use of high dose octreotide in management of neonatal chylothorax: Review.

Journal of neonatal-perinatal medicine

Alhasoon MA.

BACKGROUND: Being a rare condition, the incidence of chylothorax among neonates is low, but the mortality rate is high. In a dire effort to reduce the risk of death, octreotide treatment is used to effectively treat acquired and congenital...

Direct effects of octreotide on osteoblast cell proliferation and function.

Journal of endocrinological investigation

Vitali E, Palagano E, Schiavone ML, Mantovani G, Sobacchi C, Mazziotti G, Lania A.

Indian Pediatr. 2022 Jan 05; Epub 2022 Jan 05.

BACKGROUND: There is limited data from India regarding medical management of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI).OBJECTIVE: To study the molecular diagnosis, medical management and outcomes of children with CHI.STUDY DESIGN: Ambispective.PARTICIPANTS: Children with CHI admitted in from December, 2011 till March,...

Chyle leak occurring after vagal nerve stimulator implantation in a child.

Clinical neurology and neurosurgery

Winslow N, Pulido S, Garst J, Maldonado A.
PMID: 34959108
Clin Neurol Neurosurg. 2021 Dec 23;213:107104. doi: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2021.107104. Epub 2021 Dec 23.

Vagus nerve stimulation is a therapy indicated for some patients with medically-refractory epilepsy. Typical risks of this procedure include infection, hoarseness, vocal cord dysfunction, and hardware malfunction. Chyle leak via injury to the thoracic duct is a known complication...

Bilateral Vestibular Failure May Improve With Treatment of the Underlying Condition: A Report of 2 Cases.

The neurologist

Smyth D, Mossman S.
PMID: 34842577
Neurologist. 2021 Nov 26; doi: 10.1097/NRL.0000000000000368. Epub 2021 Nov 26.

INTRODUCTION: Bilateral vestibular failure (BVF) is an uncommon condition with numerous etiologies. It causes chronic oscillopsia and imbalance and is usually irreversible. We report 2 cases of BVF due to unusual causes, both of which improved with treatment of...

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne). 2021 Apr 01;12:639967. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2021.639967. eCollection 2021.

BACKGROUND: Everolimus, an immunosuppressant, is approved for the treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma, metastatic hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (P-NETs) but has been reported to be related to hepatitis B reactivation. Here, we present the...

Formulation strategies to improve the efficacy of intestinal permeation enhancers.

Advanced drug delivery reviews

Maher S, Brayden DJ.
PMID: 34418495
Adv Drug Deliv Rev. 2021 Oct;177:113925. doi: 10.1016/j.addr.2021.113925. Epub 2021 Aug 18.

The use of chemical permeation enhancers (PEs) is the most widely tested approach to improve oral absorption of low permeability active agents, as represented by peptides. Several hundred PEs increase intestinal permeability in preclinical bioassays, yet few have progressed...
