Spring in the northern hemisphere is a time of exploration, growth, and transition. That’s why I’m excited this month to highlight our Society programs that help rising clinicians and researchers explore, grow, and transition to careers in endocrinology. One of our newer programs is the Medical School Engagement Program (MSEP), which in April will welcome...
Constant vigilance is required for both the patient and the clinicians when treating people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Early screening, diligent monitoring, and a holistic approach can ensure that complications are kept at bay and the patients can maintain a high quality of life. In the quiet exam rooms of specialized endocrine clinics, a high-stakes...
Four Studies that Can Improve Patient Outcomes Since April is Adrenal Disease Awareness Month, Endocrine News is highlighting recent studies that shed light on important advances and insights in the field. These studies, all published in Endocrine Society journals, show how improved diagnostic accuracy, postoperative management, and a better understanding of rare adrenal pathologies offer...
An Endocrine News roundup of the week’s pharmaceutical news, breakthroughs, and general information. * Amgen Announces Positive Top-Line Phase 3 Results for TED Treatment On April 6, Amgen announced positive topline results from a Phase 3 trial of TEPEZZA (teprotumumab-trbw) administered by subcutaneous injection via an on-body injector (OBI) in participants with moderate-to-severe active thyroid...
Researchers have identified fasting hyperinsulinemia as a primary, yet often overlooked, driver of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). A new review published in Hepatology suggests that elevated insulin levels are not merely a symptom of metabolic syndrome but a direct contributor to liver fibrosis and a potent predictor of major adverse liver and cardiovascular...
A new prospective study has found that initiating continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) at the point of hospital discharge is associated with significantly improved glycemic control and may halve the risk of hospital readmission for patients with type 2 diabetes. The research, published in Journal of the Endocrine Society, suggests that providing patients with real-time data...
New clinical research has identified a significant delay in skeletal maturation among children with X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH), with male patients experiencing notably more pronounced delays than females. The study, published in Journal of The Endocrine Society, highlights a significant gap between chronological age and bone age (BA). These findings provide clinicians with more precise benchmarks...
Each month, Endocrine News presents an overview of how the Endocrine Society has been advocating for the practice and science of endocrinology, both in the U.S. and around the world. Endocrine Society Calls on Congress to Increase NIH Funding and Protect Research Because Congress is considering funding for fiscal year 2027 right now, the Endocrine Society organized a virtual Hill Day on...
