Endocrinology
“The study of ductless glands”
Endocrine block
• Each week has a theme
• 4 CBL’s, lectures, case studies, labs, TBL and integration sessions
• Other activities in endo block• SIM• Pathology/ Histology /Radiology• Professionalism• PSD
Endocrine block
• The 2009 version of Endo block has new session on diabetes prevention. All other objectives are same as past years.
• We are always looking for ways to improve our block
• We will incorporate your feedback !
“Hormones and Diabetes”
The endocrine system regulates:
• growth and development
• reproduction
• energy production, utilization and storage
• maintains homeostasis
Hormones
• molecules that are synthesized and secreted by specialized cells• produced in glands, ectopic tissue or
exogenous• may be stored in large amounts in gland
• may act in • same cell autocrine• nearby cell paracrine• distant cell endocrine
Hormones and Receptors
Disorders of the Endocrine System
• not enough hormone/resistance to activity • too much hormone/excess hormone action• structural change in gland with or without
change in level of hormone
• may be congenital, hereditary or acquired• may have one or more hormone/gland
involved• will have short and long term effects
Investigations
• History and physical examination
• Biochemical assessment including “dynamic testing”
• Imaging
• Response to therapy
Treating endocrine disorders
• not enough hormone• replace hormone or target tissue product
• too much hormone• remove or destroy source• block production• block action
• space occupying lesion• observe, remove or destroy it
• monitor and treat short and long term consequences
