Acromegaly is often diagnosed late because symptoms are subtle. Serum IGF-I is the best screening test, OGTT confirms GH excess, and MRI localizes pituitary tumors. New AI and imaging tools may improve earlier detection.
A 2026 study identifies a biologically distinct obesity subphenotype marked by fast gastric emptying, low GLP-1 synthesis, and substantially greater 6-month weight loss with tirzepatide.
A 2026 review shows that many patients with acromegaly remain symptomatic and functionally impaired despite biochemical control, underscoring the need for routine patient-reported outcomes and lower-burden, multidisciplinary care.
In a large U.K. cohort, losing at least 15% of body weight within 2 years of type 2 diabetes diagnosis was linked to lower risks of heart, kidney, and eye complications, along with better glucose and blood pressure control.
A large retrospective study links higher HbA1c and elevated blood pressure to diabetic retinopathy in youth with type 1 diabetes, while worse glycemia also correlates with thinner inner retinal layers suggestive of early neurodegeneration.
Macro-TSH was rare but clinically important in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism, sometimes mimicking true thyroid disease and leading to unnecessary levothyroxine use. Specialized testing confirmed multiple immunoglobulin-linked TSH
In a nationwide Swedish cohort, type 1 diabetes diagnoses rose briefly after SARS-CoV-2 infection and first vaccine dose, but the signal was short-lived, supporting diagnostic acceleration rather than a durable causal effect.
High-quality pituitary imaging is essential for diagnosing and managing acromegaly, localizing somatotroph adenomas, guiding surgery or radiotherapy, and reducing treatment-related harm. A standardized, tiered MRI-based approach improves ac
A 19-year Finnish cohort study found that a higher waist-to-height ratio was linked to increased coronary artery disease risk in type 1 diabetes, especially in people without albuminuria.
A Danish nationwide study found substantially higher sudden cardiac death rates in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, especially at younger ages, with meaningful loss of life expectancy attributable to sudden cardiac death.
A nationwide Danish study found that type 1 and type 2 diabetes substantially increase sudden cardiac death risk, especially in younger adults, and contribute meaningfully to shortened life expectancy.
In phase 3 testing, veligrotug produced rapid and clinically meaningful reductions in proptosis, diplopia, and disease activity in active thyroid eye disease, with durable benefit through 52 weeks and a favorable short-term safety profile.
A Phase 2 trial found that once-weekly subcutaneous levothyroxine (XP-8121) was generally well tolerated and suggested a dose conversion of about four times the daily oral dose for adults with hypothyroidism.
In a large Hong Kong cohort with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, higher early HbA1c exposure was associated with greater long-term cancer risk, suggesting that glycaemic control soon after diagnosis may matter more than later improvement.
A large French cohort study found that higher exposure to several food coloring additives was associated with increased incidence of type 2 diabetes, highlighting the need for further research and possible reevaluation of some additives.
A multinational OHDSI network analysis found no meaningful association between semaglutide use and neovascular age-related macular degeneration among adults with type 2 diabetes across cohort and self-controlled designs.
Thyroid abnormalities found during pregnancy, especially when subclinical hypothyroidism and TPO antibodies coexist, can signal a much higher long-term risk of overt hypothyroidism, supporting ongoing thyroid follow-up after delivery.
In papillary thyroid carcinoma treated with thyroidectomy and RAI, TgAb levels above the assay’s limit of quantification identified patients with higher long-term recurrence risk despite undetectable serum thyroglobulin.
A pooled analysis of nine type 1 diabetes trials found that beta cell glucose sensitivity may better predict response to disease-modifying therapy than C-peptide alone, helping identify patients most likely to benefit.
A 2026 Mendelian randomization study supports high BMI as a causal risk factor for vascular-related dementia, with part of the effect mediated through elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
