Q

Acromegaly

A

Overgrowth of bone and soft tissue, especially in the hands, feet, and face, caused by excess growth hormones in an adult

16
Q

Cushion disease

A

Overactivity of the adrenal cortex resulting from excess production of ACTH by the pituitary

17
Q

Cushing syndrome

A

A condition resulting from an excess of hormones from the adrenal cortex. It’s associated with obesity,weakness, hyperglycemia, hypertension, and hirsutism.

18
Q

Diabetes mellitus (DM)

A

A disorder of glucose metabolism caused by deficiency of insulin production or inadequate tissue response to insulin. Type 1 results from autoimmune destruction of pancreatic islet cells; it generally appears in children and requires insulin administration. Type 2 generally occurs in obese adults; its treated with diet, exercise, and drugs to improve insulin production or activity, and sometimes insulin.
