A 22-year-old university student presents with symptoms of excessive thirst, drinking 20-25 glasses of water per day and waking up 5-6 times per night to pass urine. She is constipated but has a normal appetite and weight. The differential diagnoses are psychogenic polydipsia, diabetes mellitus, and diabetes insipidus. Diabetes insipidus is defined as the excretion of large volumes of dilute urine and can be central or nephrogenic in origin. Central diabetes insipidus results from a decreased secretion of antidiuretic hormone due to conditions affecting the hypothalamus or pituitary gland.

The presentation provides details on the causes, symptoms, diagnostic tests, treatment, and management of primary and secondary adrenal insufficiency. It highlights the importance of recognizing and promptly treating an adrenal crisis.
A 52-year-old man presented with recent onset obesity, polydipsia, and polyuria. On examination, he had high blood pressure and purple stretch marks on his trunk. He was diagnosed with Cushing's syndrome, which is caused by excessive cortisol levels and results in various clinical signs and symptoms. The document discusses the definition, clinical features, causes, diagnostic tests, imaging, differential diagnosis, and treatment options for Cushing's syndrome in detail over several pages.
The document discusses several key topics regarding endocrinology including:
1) Hormones are chemical messengers that are secreted from glands or tissues and transported via blood to distant sites of action or nearby cells.
2) Major endocrine organs include the pituitary, thyroid, pancreas, adrenals, ovaries/testes, and endocrine tissues in the kidneys, heart, lungs and GI tract.
3) Hormones are involved in important body processes like metabolism, growth, development, reproduction and maintaining homeostasis.
4) A feedback loop exists between the hypothalamus and pituitary gland which regulates other endocrine organs like the thyroid and adrenals.
The document provides an overview of the endocrine system and how it regulates long-term processes in the body like growth, development, and reproduction. It describes the major endocrine glands like the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal and pancreas. It also explains the different classes of hormones, how they are secreted and distributed, the mechanisms of hormone action including first and second messengers, and the effects of abnormal hormone production.
This case describes a 15-year-old boy who presents with short stature and social/behavioral issues. The main potential causes of his short stature are growth hormone (GH) deficiency, constitutional delay of growth, or familial short stature. Key tests to diagnose GH deficiency include low levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and GH stimulation tests such as the insulin tolerance test or GHRH+arginine stimulation test. Further investigations to confirm the diagnosis would include assessing his family history, measuring sex hormone levels, and checking for signs of other hormonal deficiencies or genetic disorders like Laron syndrome.

The endocrine system coordinates activities through chemical messengers called hormones. It consists of endocrine glands that secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland regulate many other endocrine glands. The thyroid gland regulates metabolism through thyroxine and calcitonin regulates calcium levels. The parathyroid glands work with the thyroid to maintain calcium homeostasis through PTH. The adrenal glands produce hormones like adrenaline for the fight-or-flight response. The pancreas regulates blood sugar through insulin and glucagon. The gonads produce sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
The hypothalamus controls the pituitary gland located below it. The pituitary gland secretes hormones that regulate many bodily functions. The hypothalamus regulates the pituitary by secreting releasing or inhibiting hormones. The pituitary's anterior lobe secretes trophic hormones that control other endocrine glands, while its posterior lobe secretes antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin which act directly on body tissues. Disorders can arise if the hypothalamic-pituitary axis is disrupted.
The endocrine system is composed of hormone-releasing organs that maintain homeostasis by releasing chemicals called hormones into the bloodstream. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland control the endocrine system. Hormones have broader response times than neurotransmitters in the nervous system. Endocrine drugs include natural, semi-synthetic, and synthetic hormones used for replacement therapy, treatment of disorders, and diagnosis. Examples discussed include hypothalamic-pituitary hormones like growth hormone, ACTH, TSH, and gonadotropins; steroid hormones; and thyroid hormones.
The pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain, is divided into the anterior and posterior pituitary. The anterior pituitary secretes hormones that control other endocrine glands and is regulated by hormones from the hypothalamus. The posterior pituitary stores and releases oxytocin and antidiuretic hormone (ADH), which are produced in the hypothalamus and travel down nerve fibers to the posterior pituitary. Growth hormone, secreted by the anterior pituitary, promotes growth and protein synthesis throughout the body and has effects on carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Its secretion is regulated by the hypothalamus.
1. The document discusses growth hormone hypersecretion and hyposecretion disorders including gigantism, acromegaly, dwarfism, acromicria, and Simmond's disease.
2. It provides details on the causes, signs and symptoms, and treatment of each condition.
3. Key points include that gigantism results from growth hormone hypersecretion before epiphyseal closure, leading to excessive growth, while acromegaly occurs after closure and results in thickening of bones and tissues. Dwarfism is caused by growth hormone deficiency as a child.
The pituitary gland, also known as the hypophysis, is a small gland located at the base of the brain. It has an anterior and posterior lobe with different developmental origins and functions. The anterior lobe produces several hormones that regulate other endocrine glands and other processes. These include growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and prolactin. The posterior lobe stores and releases antidiuretic hormone and oxytocin, which are produced in the hypothalamus. The pituitary gland plays a key role in regulating many physiological processes through its interaction with the hypothalamus via the hypothalamic-hypophyseal portal system
Growth hormone promotes growth in many tissues and has metabolic effects unrelated to growth. It increases fat mobilization and decreases glucose utilization. Growth hormone promotes growth of soft tissues and bones through processes like cell division, hypertrophy, and protein synthesis. It decreases carbohydrate utilization and increases fat utilization and glucose production in the liver. Growth hormone levels typically decline with age from the teens through the 70s. Abnormalities in growth hormone can cause diseases like dwarfism or gigantism.
The document discusses the endocrine system and its various glands. It describes the location and functions of the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, testes, and their roles in regulating growth, metabolism, and sexual development. It also discusses disorders that can arise from hypo- or hyper- secretion of hormones.
Understanding the human growth hormoneAdlina bryan
Human growth hormone is a protein hormone that the pituitary gland produces in the human body. It is the most important hormone in our body that is produced by the body itself. These hormones help in the proper growth and development of the immune system, improve your memory and many more.
The document discusses the endocrine system and various endocrine glands. It provides information on the location and function of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in controlling other endocrine glands. Key glands covered include the thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, adrenal gland, and pancreas. For each gland, the document describes their location in the body, the hormones they secrete, and the functions of those hormones in maintaining homeostasis.
Growth hormone is synthesized and secreted by the anterior pituitary gland. It acts directly on tissues throughout the body to stimulate growth. Growth hormone stimulates bone and cartilage growth in children through increasing the production of insulin-like growth factors. It also has effects on protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Disorders of growth hormone secretion or action can result in abnormalities of growth.
The endocrine system regulates longer-term metabolic processes through hormones. It includes glands like the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroids, adrenals, pancreas, gonads, and pineal gland. Hormones are chemical messengers that alter the activity of distant tissues. They include amino acid derivatives, peptides, steroids, and eicosanoids. The hypothalamus and pituitary gland form a master regulatory system for the endocrine system and other body functions via releasing and inhibiting hormones. Glands operate via negative or positive feedback loops to maintain homeostasis. Diseases can disrupt the delicate balance of the endocrine system.
The pituitary gland located at the base of the brain secretes several hormones that control other glands. It has an anterior and posterior lobe. The anterior lobe secretes hormones like growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, and adrenocorticotropic hormone under control of the hypothalamus. The posterior lobe secretes anti-diuretic hormone and oxytocin under control of the hypothalamus. Growth hormone promotes growth of tissues, increases protein synthesis and breaks down fat. It is regulated by growth hormone releasing hormone and somatostatin from the hypothalamus.
Growth hormone is synthesized by cells in the anterior pituitary gland and regulates growth and metabolism. It acts through somatomedins like IGF-1, secreted by the liver, to stimulate growth of bones and muscles and increase protein synthesis. Growth hormone secretion is stimulated by fasting, exercise and sleep and inhibited by feeding and high blood glucose and fatty acid levels. It is regulated through a negative feedback loop involving the hypothalamus and somatomedins.
Acromegaly and gigantism are chronic metabolic disorders caused by excessive growth hormone levels. Acromegaly occurs in adulthood after bone growth plates have closed, causing tissue enlargement. Gigantism occurs in childhood before plate closure, resulting in abnormally large growth. Both are usually due to noncancerous pituitary tumors that overproduce growth hormone, leading to increased insulin-like growth factor levels and symptoms like enlarged hands, feet and head. Diagnosis involves blood tests and imaging to identify the source of excess growth hormone. Treatment focuses on surgery, radiation or medications to reduce hormone levels and stop further growth.
The document outlines the process of a film project for a client called "Team Awesome" about hauntings in Liverpool. It discusses reaching out to museums like the Tate Museum for access but being denied. It then describes shifting the backup idea to focus on hauntings in Liverpool and trying to get access to locations like 30 James Street Hotel and the cathedral. The document also mentions conducting an interview with "Shiverpool" and notes taken, and that editing and sound editing were remaining tasks.
The document discusses the production of a travel master video commercial. The team initially planned to film people dramatically rushing to catch buses and trains, but heavy rain prevented filming transportation. They were forced to quickly change their narrative while still incorporating the travel master card. Problems with client communication caused them to take creative risks to complete the commercial without feedback.
The document proposes two documentary film ideas focusing on overlooked subjects. The first would profile a janitor at the Tate museum, exploring his knowledge of the art and the loneliness of his nighttime job through interviews and shots of the empty museum. The second would focus on charity workers distributing leaflets on the street, aiming to show different sides to people usually ignored. Both would use techniques like close-ups, wide angles, and cross-cutting to tell the stories in a linear or non-linear format.
The document analyzes the cinematography techniques used in the documentary "In the Teeth of Jaws". It discusses how mise en scene positions interviewees as if being eaten by sharks, adding humor. Rule of thirds is used to frame interviews professionally. Music and sound mixes the Jaws theme with interviews for tension and interest. Relevant cutaways of sharks visualize what they are like and enhance enjoyment. Name tags introduce people while reinforcing shark themes visually. Archive footage helps explain stories by recreating memories on screen.
The document summarizes the marketing strategies and legal considerations for a fictional energy drink brand called "Zombified". It discusses how the brand uses exaggerated zombie themes and fictional beings to advertise the drink without making illegal health claims. It also explains how the designer created original content without copyright infringement. References to death and scary images are handled carefully to avoid causing offense. Only those over 16 can access the website due to the mature content, and their age is confirmed on the site to comply with beverage laws.
The document lists various technologies used in the production of a documentary project, including:
- Blogger to document the project process
- Prezi and PowerPoint for research and evaluation presentations
- Taggle for brainstorming documentary ideas
- Video and audio equipment like cameras and microphones to record footage and interviews
- Editing software like Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and Audacity to assemble, enhance, and add elements to the documentary, such as visual effects, text, music, and voiceovers.
The documentary uses the slogan "What are you afraid of?" to intrigue audiences about facing their fears. Consistency was created between advertisements and the documentary by using the same slogan and voiceover. The title "In the face of fear" directly conveys the subject matter of people facing their fears. Different fonts were chosen for the print ad and documentary title to convey different tones and attract attention or set mood. The print ad features a half human/half clown face to symbolize normal and phobic states of mind and create an appealing yet scary feel to advertise the documentary's themes of fear and phobias.

The document outlines the planning for a photo shoot with the theme of "Zombified - rise from the dead" to advertise an energy drink to youth. It details the photographer, model, date, location, wardrobe, and necessary equipment. The goal is to capture images of a tired student in need of energy through makeup effects and post-processing to look half-zombie, half-human. A second model will be used to create contrast. Safety measures like permission and avoiding graphic images will be taken to not scare audiences.
The document discusses how the video game Grand Theft Auto 4 interacts with consumers according to media theorist Dennis McQuail's four ways media interacts with people: information, entertainment, personal identity, and social integration. It provides examples of each from the game, such as conveying real-world themes, allowing escapism, letting the player progress their character's social status, and including an online multiplayer mode.
The document discusses several controversial themes in the Grand Theft Auto video game series that could potentially influence players, including drugs, prostitution, killing, drinking, theft, and reckless driving. It also provides examples of real-world incidents that were allegedly inspired by the games. Themes like drug dealing, strip clubs, killing others for rewards, drunk driving, stealing for money rewards, and breaking traffic laws in vehicles are depicted in-game in ways that some argue could influence players to replicate such harmful, dangerous or illegal acts in reality.
Grand Theft Auto 4 interacts with consumers in four ways according to media theorist Dennis McQuail: information, entertainment, personal identity, and social integration. The game provides information about real-world themes, entertainment through immersing players in a virtual world where they can do things not allowed in real life, opportunities for personal identity as the main character works through different social classes, and social integration through multiplayer modes where players can work together or against each other online.
Phobias are intense, irrational fears of objects or situations that pose little actual danger. Common phobias include fears of heights, insects, small spaces, and needles. When exposed to the feared object or situation, people with phobias experience panic attacks, increased heart rate, difficulty breathing, trembling, and feelings of dread. Phobias are caused by conflicts in the mind that the person may not be aware of and often develop in adolescence or early adulthood. They are treated through therapies like exposure therapy or medication.
This document contains summaries of the responses to a survey about phobias. The survey received responses from a nearly equal number of males and females across a wide age range. The most popular music genre was pop, most popular color was blue, and most watched TV channel was Channel 4. The most common phobias reported were social phobia and specific phobia. Many respondents had their phobia for over 10 years and most had not sought professional help. While online/self-help was attempted, it generally did not help. The document provides insights into phobias that will help create a sensitive documentary on the topic.
The document lists various categories of food and drink, animals, and other topics without descriptions. The food and drink section includes spirits, beer, vegetables, fruit, chocolate, sweets, fast food, and breakfast. The animals section covers dogs, cats, reptiles, large animals such as elephants, insects like spiders, horses, and wild animals. The other section mentions celebrities, technology, school/college, social events, music, TV, and tattoos.
This documentary explores different people's passions for painting through interviews and footage of painters at work. It follows several short narratives of individuals describing how painting makes them feel and where they find inspiration. The documentary maintains a calm atmosphere through slow instrumental music and casual clothing of subjects, who are filmed in various settings like gardens, rooftops, and workshops that help them focus. Footage includes close-ups, cutaways, and establishing shots to give viewers a sense of exploring the painters' environments.
