Case report: A case of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus after COVID-19 vaccination during treatment of advanced gastric cancer: pitfall in managing immune-related adverse events.

The occurrence of fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus as an adverse event during cancer immunotherapy has been previously reported. However, little is known about the causal relationship between the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccination and fulminant type 1 diabetes mellitus. A 60-year-old man with advanced gastric cancer, receiving S-1 + oxaliplatin and nivolumab therapy, followed by nab-paclitaxel + ramucirumab as a second-line treatment, with steroid supplementation for complications of hypopituitarism-induced hypoadrenocorticism, was administered a COVID-19 vaccine after three cycles of nab-paclitaxel + ramucirumab.

Effectiveness of F-FDG PET/CT in finding lung metastasis from a retroperitoneal paraganglioma.

A 50-year-old woman was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia on general medical examination. Further, contrast-enhanced abdominal CT and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large hypervascular mass with internal degeneration and necrosis in the retroperitoneal space. She was referred to our hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

Metyrosine-associated endocrinological changes in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma.

Objective: Metyrosine (alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine) effectively reduces catecholamine levels in patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. However, improvements in physiological and metabolic parameters and changes in endocrine function associated with metyrosine administration should be validated in comparison to surgery. This study was performed to confirm the effects of metyrosine on the physiological, metabolic, and endocrinological functions of patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma in the perioperative period.

Effects of Elobixibat, an Inhibitor of Ileal Bile Acid Transporter, on Glucose and Lipid Metabolism: A Single-arm Pilot Study in Patients with T2DM.

Purpose: The ileal bile acid transporter inhibitor elobixibat was recently approved in Japan for use in the treatment of patients with chronic constipation. Elobixibat has been associated with increased plasma glucagon-like peptide 1 level through Takeda G protein receptor 5, which is a membrane receptor of bile acids. The present study assessed the metabolic effects of elobixibat in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM)-related constipation.

Transient Antidiuretic Hormone Insufficiency Caused by Severe Hyperosmolar Hyperglycemic Syndrome Based on Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus.

Background: The hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS), an acute complication of diabetes mellitus with plasma hyperosmolarity, promotes the secretion of anti-diuretic hormone (ADH) and reduces the storage of ADH. Magnetic resonance T1-weighted imaging reflects ADH storage in the posterior pituitary lobe, which disappears when the storage is depleted. Whether the HHS induces ADH depletion leading to clinical manifestations has been unclear.

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Subtype-Dependent Development of Myasthenia Gravis, Type-1 Diabetes Mellitus, and Hashimoto Disease: A Case Report of Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Type 3.

BACKGROUND Patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus, myasthenia gravis (MG), and Hashimoto disease are diagnosed as having autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 3 (APS3). APS3 is rare, and its pathogenesis is unclear. We describe a female patient with APS3 whose human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type could provide a clue to the pathogenesis of APS3.

Metreleptin Supplementation for Improving Lipid and Glycemic Profiles in Acquired Diabetes Lipodystrophy: A Case Report.

Most childhood cancer survivors who undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation subsequently develop impaired glucose tolerance and hypertriglyceridemia. These conditions are presumably associated with total-body irradiation-related acquired lipodystrophy and may lead to cardiovascular disease. Metreleptin (recombinant leptin) may help improve the lipoprotein profile, insulin sensitivity, and quality of life of patients with total-body irradiation-related lipodystrophy.
