December 2023 in “Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism” The document presents a wide range of medical case studies and research findings, focusing on various endocrine disorders and their management. Key highlights include a study on hyperprolactinemia with 50 participants, identifying drug use and prolactinoma as common causes, and emphasizing the ease of treatment once the cause is identified. Another study with 600 patients links non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to central obesity in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The document also discusses the importance of genetic testing in diagnosing rare conditions, such as a novel PHEX gene mutation in X-linked hypophosphatemia and a LEPR gene mutation causing monogenic obesity. Additionally, it reviews the effectiveness of treatments like DOTANOC PET/CT-guided radiofrequency ablation for tumor-induced osteomalacia and the use of capsaicin for diabetic neuropathy pain relief. The ONWARDS trials with 4,347 participants highlight the benefits of once-weekly insulin icodec in improving HbA1c levels. Overall, the document underscores the significance of early diagnosis, genetic analysis, and innovative treatment approaches in managing complex medical conditions.
