The aim of this study was to find out the pattern of endocrine diseases and socioeconomic status of the patients attending at outpatient department of endocrinology of Sir Salimullah Medical College Mitford Hospital, Dhaka. A total of 498 endocrine patients were selected on the basis of defined criteria from September 2007 to August 2008. Of the 498 patients, 292 were female and 206 male. Majority of female patients were housewives (86.3%) while most of the male patients were businessmen (86.4%). Majority of them (59.4%) were in the age range of 41-75 years and 92.0% were married. About 7% were found obese, comparatively more in male patients. In endocrine disease pattern, 36.9% had diabetes mellitus, 18% hypothyroidism and 6.0% goiter. Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), hyperthyroidism, hirsutism, gynaecomastia, infertility, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hyperprolactinemia and short stature were found in 2.0%, 1.6%, 1.6%, 1.2%, 0.8%, 0.8%, 0.4% and 0.4% respectively. About 30.0% of the endocrine patients were found to be associated with other non-endocrine diseases or obesity. Appropriate medical treatment facilities in combination with motivational enhancement therapies are needed to ensure proper medical management of these patients.

Anaesthesiologists frequently encounter patients with diseases of the endocrine system, in particular diabetes mellitus. The major risk factors for people with diabetes undergoing surgery are the associated end-organ diseases: cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy, joint collagen tissue, and immune deficiency. Due to the fact that endocrine diseases can be associated with significant peri-operative morbidity and mortality, it is critical that anaesthesiologists understand these disorders and when indicated request the appropriate investigations.

Abstract Purpose Rare diseases affect <1 in 2000 people. Despite their rarity, they collectively affect ~30 million people across Europe. The aim of this article is to present the view of our European endocrine societies on the care of patients with rare endocrine conditions. Methods We evaluated the current situation of patients with rare endocrine disease and present the joint views of the European Society for Endocrinology (ESE) and the European Society for Pediatric Endocrinology (ESPE) on how the endocrine disciplines can support and contribute to a better health of patients with rare endocrine conditions in Europe. Results Rare diseases pose many challenges, including early diagnosis and innovative treatment options. Rare endocrine diseases can be found among inherited disorders, cancers, and conditions associated with metabolic disorders such as diabetes, calcium and bone metabolism, lipid metabolism, hypogonadism, and adrenal, pituitary, and thyroid dysfunction. According to the European Registries for Rare Endocrine conditions, there are over 440 distinct rare diseases that affect the endocrine system. Rare endocrine diseases are often chronic and life-threatening. Conclusions ESE and ESPE support a strategic plan to address unmet needs in the area of rare endocrine conditions. The EU should continue to evolve and expand its plans for funding European Reference Networks so that they can expand their activities.

Endocrine Diseases

Endocrinology is the study focusing on hormones and their actions. Hormones are known as chemical messengers, released into the blood, that exert functions through receptors to make an influence in the target cell. The capacity of the mammalian organism to perform as a whole unit is made possible based on two principal control mechanisms, the nervous system and the endocrine system. The endocrine system is essential in regulating growth and development, tissue function, metabolism, and reproductive processes. Endocrine diseases such as diabetes mellitus, Grave’s disease, polycystic ovary syndrome, and insulin-like growth factor I deficiency (IGFI deficiency) are classical endocrine diseases. Endocrine dysfunction is also an increasing factor of morbidity in cancer and other dangerous diseases in humans. Thus, it is essential to understand the diseases from their genetic level in order to recognize more pathogenic genes and make a great effort in understanding the pathologies of endocrine diseases. In this study, we proposed a deep learning method named DeepGP based on graph convolutional network and convolutional neural network for prioritizing susceptible genes of five endocrine diseases. To test the performance of our method, we performed 10-cross-validations on an integrated reported dataset; DeepGP obtained a performance of the area under the curve of ∼83% and area under the precision-recall curve of ∼65%. We found that type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share most of their associated genes; therefore, we should pay more attention to the rest of the genes related to T1DM and T2DM, respectively, which could help in understanding the pathogenesis and pathologies of these diseases.

The articles provide information and analysis of statistical indicators on the state of endocrinological care for children in 2020 in general in Ukraine and in some regions, their dynamics for 2014—2020. Providing data on staffing of the pediatric endocrinology service; the state of inpatient care for children with endocrine diseases; disability due to endocrine pathology, which has been carried out in recent years, is constantly growing, in particular diabetes, hypothyroidism and others; diseases and prevalence of malignant diseases of the endocrine glands in children. It is also possible to provide data from the register of children with active endocrine diseases, namely, diabetes mellitus, including its various forms, pathological short stature, the disorders of sex differentiation (DSD). The problematic issues of specialized care for children with diseases of the endocrine system are highlighted.It is estimated that according to the register of children with diabetes mellitus (DM) in 2020, 10,743 patients under the age of 18 were registered (14.26 per 10,000 children), including 10,598 children receiving insulin therapy (with DM Type 1, other types of diabetes requiring insulin treatment) (14.07), 51 — with DM type 2, 66 children with neonatal diabetes, of which 36 diagnoses are genetically confirmed, and MODY is genetically confirmed in 48 children. The prevalence of diabetes among children aged 0—18 years in 2020 increased compared to 2014 by 34.9 %.For patients with DSD conduct a detailed cytognetic examination in the leading genetic laboratories. Responding to the database of such children, to which 654 patients were includ, in particular with chromosomal DSD — 347 children (53.1 %, 303 patients with Turner syndrome); of 46, XY DSD — 102 patients (15.6 %); of 46, XX — 205 patients (31.3 %), as well as 185 children with DSD due to congenital adrenal hyperplasia.It is reported that in 2020, 1,630 children with short stature under the age of 18 who need treatment with growth hormone were registered in Ukraine, including 1,223 children with pituitary and pituitary-cerebral dwarfism, 255 children with Turner syndrome, 65 — with Russell—Silver syndrome, 43 — with Prader—Willi syndrome, 21 children with short stature, born small for their gestational age (SGA), as well as 22 children with dwarfism due to chronic renal failure. The number of such volumes increases by an average of 10 %. These children receive treatment with growth hormone drugs at the expense of the state budget.

Objective: The last two decades have witnessed an increase in health care costs due to obesity and related issues among children and adolescents. Childhood obesity is a global phenomenon affecting all socio-economic groups, irrespective of age, sex or ethnicity. The study was done to find the the prevalence of obesity and overweight and their association with socioeconomic status (SES) and the risk factors. Materials and Methods: School based cross sectional study carried out over a period of 4 months in three schools of East Delhi. The study was carried out in 629 school children of 10–18 years of age and belonging to different socioeconomic statuses in schools in East Delhi. The obesity and overweight were considered using an updated body mass index reference. A pre-tested questionnaire was used to determine the Socio-economic status and life style factors. Results: The prevalence of overweight among children was higher in middle socioeconomic status groups as compared to high socioeconomic class in both boys and girls whereas the prevalence of obesity was higher in high Socio economic status group as compared to middle socioeconomic group. The prevalence of obesity as well as overweight in low SES group was the lowest as compared to other group. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that the prevalence of overweight and obesity varies remarkably with different socioeconomic development levels.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease characterized by relative or absolute deficiency of insulin, resulting in glucose intolerance.Objectives: The present study was planned to see the associations of serum uric acid with positive Rheumatoid factor in type 2 male diabetes mellitus patients. Methodology: This case control study was carried out at the department of Biochemistry at Ibrahim Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The duration of the study was from June 2015 to June 2016 for a period of one year. In this present study, male patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were taken as case group and age and sex matched healthy male were taken as control group. Rheumatoid factor was measured from the blood of all case and control group respondents. Others blood para meters were also measured for the correlation with the diabetes mellitus patients.Results: In this present study, 110 male patients presented with type 2 diabetes mellitus were recruited as case and age and sex matched healthy male were recruited as control. More rheumatoid factor positive in type 2 DM male patients with the uric acid range between 6.5 to 9.5 mg/dL. The number of patients was 5 out of total 9 rheumatoid factor positive cases. In this study serum uric acid was significantly correlated with rheumatoid factor in type 2 male diabetic patients. Rheumatoid factor positive cases were taking insulin among 9 and it was statistically significantly associated (p<0.001). Conclusion: In this study serum uric acid is significantly associated with positive rheumatoid factor in type 2 male diabetic patients.Journal of Current and Advance Medical Research 2017;4(2):58-62

In this article, we explore the relationship between cellular phone data and housing prices in Budapest, Hungary. We determine mobility indicators from one months of Call Detail Records (CDR) data, while the property price data are used to characterize the socioeconomic status at the Capital of Hungary. First, we validated the proposed methodology by comparing the Home and Work locations estimation and the commuting patterns derived from the cellular network dataset with reports of the national mini census. We investigated the statistical relationships between mobile phone indicators, such as Radius of Gyration, the distance between Home and Work locations or the Entropy of visited cells, and measures of economic status based on housing prices. Our findings show that the mobility correlates significantly with the socioeconomic status. We performed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on combined vectors of mobility indicators in order to characterize the dependence of mobility habits on socioeconomic status. The results of the PCA investigation showed remarkable correlation of housing prices and mobility customs.

Abstract Background Around 8% of the UK Armed Forces leave in any given year, and must navigate unfamiliar civilian systems to acquire employment, healthcare, and other necessities. This paper determines longer-term prevalences of mental ill health and socioeconomic outcomes in UK Service leavers, and how they are related to demographic factors, military history, and pre-enlistment adversity. Methods This study utilised data from a longitudinal sample of a cohort study UK Armed Forces personnel since 2003. A range of self-reported military and sociodemographic factors were analysed as predictors of probable Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, common mental disorders, alcohol misuse, unemployment and financial hardship. Prevalences and odds ratios of associations between predictors and outcomes were estimated for regular veterans in this cohort. Results Veteran hardship was mostly associated with factors linked to socio-economic status: age, education, and childhood adversity. Few military-specific factors predicted mental health or socio-economic hardship, except method of leaving (where those leaving due to medical or unplanned discharge were more likely to encounter most forms of hardship as veterans), and rank which is itself related to socioeconomic status. Conclusion Transition and resettlement provisions become increasingly generous with longer service, yet this paper shows the need for those services becomes progressively less necessary as personnel acquire seniority and skills, and instead could be best targeted at unplanned leavers, taking socioeconomic status into consideration. Many will agree that longer service should be more rewarded, but the opposite is true if provision instead reflects need rather than length of service. This is a social, political and ethical dilemma.
