A 64-year-old man goes to his local primary health care centre because he has become increasingly overweight. He has gained 8 kg over the past 6 months. The patient presented with rounded face, thin skin and poor wound healing. Lab diagnosis showed high levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone. The high level of adrenocorticotropic hormone specifically increases the secretion of: Glucocorticoids O Thyroid hormone O Growth hormone O None of the above O

A 32-year-old male with type 1 diabetes since the age of 14 years was taken to the emergency department because of drowsiness, fever, cough, diffuse abdominal pain, and vomiting. Fever and cough started 2 days ago and the patient could not eat or drink water. He has been treated with an intensive insulin regimen (insulin glargine 24 IU at bedtime and a rapid-acting insulin analog before each meal). On examination he was tachypneic, his temperature was 39° C (102.2° F), pulse rate 104 beats per minute, respiratory rate 24 breaths per minute, blood pressure 100/70 mmHg; he also had dry mucous membranes, poor skin turgor, and rales in the right lower chest. He was slightly confused. Rapid hematology and biochemical tests showed hematocrit 48%, hemoglobin 14.3 g/dl (143 g/L), white blood cell count 18,000/ μ l, glucose 450 mg/dl (25.0 mmol/L), urea 60 mg/dl (10.2 mmol/L), creatinine 1.4 mg/dl (123.7 μ mol/L), Na+ 152 mEq/L, K+ 5.3 mEq/L, PO4 3−2.3 mEq/L (0.74 mmol/L), and Cl− 110 mmol/L.…
