She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) with glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) antibodies >2,000 U/mL (by ELISA) and IA-2 antibodies >30 U/mL. Insulin injections were introduced, and she was discharged. Laboratory tests during her hospitalization were negative for thyroid antibodies (TgAb, TPOAb). Elderly individuals with first-onset T1DM who are positive for IA-2 antibody are rare, and multiple-positive cases of pancreatic islet-associated autoantibodies are particularly rare. IA-2 antibodies have an approx. 60% positive rate in acute-onset T1DM, but they are more likely to be positive in children and adolescents and are known to turn negative earlier than anti-GAD antibodies. Although a large amount of insulin is needed in general in such cases, our patient was successfully treated with a small amount of insulin. IA-2 antibody has been reported to be positive even in GAD antibody-negative individuals. In some cases, IA-2 antibody and other antibodies are positive even in elderly-onset diabetes, and this contributes to the diagnosis of T1DM.</p>","PeriodicalId":94154,"journal":{"name":"Neuro endocrinology letters","volume":"44 5","pages":"336-339"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41166718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accumulation of extracellular water is particularly difficult to monitor using classical methods. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a simple, rapid, and noninvasive method, based on the principle that the flow of altering electrical current through a particular tissue differs depending on the content of water and electrolytes. It is thus able to measure body composition, including total body and extracellular water. Although bioimpedance holds up quite well compared to the gold standard that is dual-energy X-ray, it has certain limitations in critically ill patients. Specifically, it cannot distinguish between intravascular and interstitial volume in the extracellular compartment, and as it employs equations based on population measurement, compositions can diverge significantly with severe overhydration or in the morbidly obese. Bioelectrical vector analysis (BIVA) does not use the calculations and is part of the measurements in newer multifrequency bioimpedance devices. There is growing evidence of the adverse effect of overhydration in critically ill patients and bioimpedance can be used to monitor hydration, but there is no information on how to use this method for bedside monitoring in practice. In this review we present a practical approach to Phase angle and BIA/BIVA interpretations for monitoring hydration status and rapid loss of skeletal muscle mass and their clinical use, on a cohort of critical COVID patients under artificial lung ventilation.</p>","PeriodicalId":94154,"journal":{"name":"Neuro endocrinology letters","volume":"44 5","pages":"271-282"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41180803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In general, NETs are characterized by overexpression of somatostatin receptors and carry an excellent prognosis with early diagnosis and intervention. Chromogranin A (CgA), a protein originating in secretory vesicles of neurons and endocrine cells, has gained wide usage in NET diagnosis and surveillance. Lanreotide is a synthetic octapeptide somatostatin analog with potent anti-proliferative action which has been approved by the FDA (U.S.) and EMA (E.U.) for NET treatment. It is known for its inhibitory effects on growth hormone, serotonin, CgA, and other markers. Here we describe a 56yr-old female with functional NET of duodenal origin, where serum CgA was successfully reduced from 3636 to <100 ng/mL after multidose lanreotide within five months.
