Have you ever seen one of those diabetic cats that, try as you might, just WILL NOT respond to treatment? Well, if the answer's yes, there's a good chance your patient is one of many cats with acromegaly! This disease affects around 25% of ALL cats with diabetes - and whilst it can be cured, it's not a quick or easy fix. The good news? We can give these patients a TON of intensive nursing care during their treatment and recovery - and we're diving into that in today's episode of the Medical Nursing Podcast. ---

Today's podcast covers my conversation with Jill Sisco, president of the Acromegaly Community, about the recent meetings with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US governmental entity responsible for approving new medications.  Our conversation focuses on the original meeting held in 2021 and a recent listening session where the AC provided additional feedback to the FDA.  These meetings help ensure the FDA considers patient's experiences, needs, and expectations as they provide drug development guidance to pharmaceutical companies.  You can read the original report here. Jill also briefly mentioned during our chat the "Faces of Hope" initiative they undertook a few years ago.  Here's a link to that photographic essay.  Worth a look! 

Welcome to Season 2 of Mind Your Head! In our first episode, we delve into a powerful story that underlines the significance of maintaining a positive outlook. Shari courageously shares her journey of grappling with profound physical changes, enduring years of medical uncertainty, and the relentless blame placed on her for these transformations. For seven long years, Shari navigated living with an undiagnosed condition, facing countless medical professionals who couldn't provide the answers she desperately sought. It was only within the last few years that she was given a diagnosis, and answers to the mysteries behind her struggles – Acromegaly, a disorder triggered by an excess production of growth hormone, primarily originating from the pituitary gland. This hormone governs the physical growth of the body, and an overabundance in adults results in the enlargement of bones, cartilage, and various tissues. Shari candidly recounts the pivotal night when her diagnosis finally emerged, shedding light on the challenges faced during those seven undiagnosed years. Despite the adversity she faced, Shari emphasises the power of gratitude and positivity in navigating hardships. Join us as we explore Shari's inspiring journey, reminding us all of the resilience found in embracing optimism during life's toughest moments.  TRIGGER WARNING This content includes discussions about suicide, which may be distressing for some individuals.

Today's podcast is about our super athlete friend Risa August and her new book, “The Road Unpaved.”  We first met Risa in 2019 when she came to the Pituitary World News/UCSF patient gathering. We chatted about her experience and and her plans to ride her bike from Canada to Mexico. We followed her herculean effort to ride 1845-plus miles to get from Canada to Mexico on the Pacific Coast Highway, which, as you can imagine, is no picnic for anyone, let alone if you are fighting acromegaly symptoms. It is downright amazing she did it at all. Now, she has written a book about her experience with acromegaly, the ride, and life.

Pituitary tumors are abnormal growths that develop in your pituitary gland. Pituitary tumors can cause too much or too little of the hormones that regulate important functions of your body to be produced. Most pituitary tumors are noncancerous growths called adenomas, which remain in your pituitary gland or surrounding tissues and don't spread to other parts of your body."It's very uncommon for any pituitary tumor to be a malignancy or what one would commonly think about as a cancer or something that would travel elsewhere," says Dr. Jamie Van Gompel, a Mayo Clinic neurosurgeon. "Almost all of these are benign tumors." Pituitary tumors are categorized as functioning or nonfunctioning, depending on if they are producing hormones.The signs and symptoms of nonfunctioning pituitary tumors, those that don't make hormones, nonfunctioning are related to their growth and the pressure they put on other structures."Out of all pituitary tumors, about half of them aren't making any kind of a substance," explains Dr. Van Gompel. "And those are called nonfunctioning adenomas or tumors. And they cause problems by putting pressure on things nearby. So they'll either take up enough room where the pituitary gland is so that it doesn't function well, and you have to get medications to replace some of that function. Or you may start to lose vision. That's another very common presenting symptom with these. "Pituitary tumors that make hormones, called functioning, can cause a variety of signs and symptoms depending on the hormone they produce."Functioning tumors cause distinct syndromes," says Dr. Van Gompel. "The three most common are prolactin-secreting tumors, Cushing's and acromegaly." Dr. Van Gompel explains overproduction of prolactin from a pituitary tumor can cause breast milk to develop in women, even when they aren't postpartum. In men, it often affects sexual function. In Cushing syndrome, the body creates too much cortisol. The hallmark signs of Cushing syndrome are a fatty hump between the shoulders, a rounded face, and pink or purple stretch marks on your skin. Cushing syndrome also can result in high blood pressure, bone loss and, sometimes, Type 2 diabetes. Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that develops when the pituitary gland produces too much growth hormone during adulthood, causing bones to increase in size. In childhood, this leads to increased height and is called gigantism. But in adulthood, a change in height doesn't occur. Instead, the increase in bone size is limited to the bones of the hands, feet and face.There are various options for treating pituitary tumors, including removing the tumor, controlling its growth and managing your hormone levels with medications. Surgery often is needed if a pituitary tumor is pressing on the optic nerves or if the tumor is overproducing certain hormones. Most often, surgery is done endoscopically through the nasal cavity. The neurosurgeon removes the tumor through the nose and sinuses without an external incision. No other part of the brain is affected, and there's no visible scar.Mayo Clinic is one of the largest pituitary centers in the U.S., evaluating and treating more than 1,600 people with pituitary tumors every year. Dr. Van Gompel explains that being treated at a referral center that sees a high volume of pituitary tumors is important."Here at Mayo, we have huge expertise, and a group of people that know how to manage these adenomas," explains Dr. Van Gompel. "We're fortunate to have excellent colleagues in neuroradiology because the imaging matters to help locate the tumors. We also have a team of endocrinologists who focus specifically on treatment and management of pituitary tumors. And we have surgeons, like me, who focus on adenomas. We're constantly working together studying our outcomes to make sure they're as good, if not better, than they were last year, to improve care for our patients." On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Van Gompel discusses options for treating pituitary tumors.

We caught up with Sheila a few weeks ago at the Acromegaly Community Conference near San Francisco. We had a captivating chat about Mycapssa (oral octreotide), the new and only oral medication for the treatment of Acromegaly, where we learned about the drug since its introduction 18 months ago. But we also wanted to know about Amryt, a newcomer to the US and soon to all the Americas. We talked about Amryt's start in Dublin, Ireland, just six years ago, its philosophy, brand, and plans. We also took advantage of Sheila's extensive experience in healthcare to ask about her views. We touched on rare disease diagnoses, the state of endocrinology drug development in the US and globally, access to medication, patient support, and the burden of dealing with insurance issues, specifically those related to prior authorizations.

Sheila Frame is the President for the Americas at Amryt Pharma, founded on the belief that rare and ultra-rare diseases were an opportunity to support underserved patients differently than the big pharmaceutical companies could. With the acquisition of Mycapssa, Amryt is changing the treatment for the rare disease acromegaly from painful injections to the first and only twice-daily oral medication. Shelia explains, "We're currently commercially, at least, in three different areas. So lipodystrophy is a pretty significant leptin deficiency for people who suffer from that. It's a fairly rare disease, with about 300 patients roughly in the US. The second one is in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, and again, a very rare genetic disease, probably even fewer patients than what we see in lipodystrophy. And then the third area, of course, is acromegaly with Mycapssa, where we actually have products in the market." "I think what's interesting about not only the technology that we have with Mycapssa but also the impact of taking a pill twice a day means that you have this sustained control of the drug in your system. I think patients are finding that that really helps them. And so beyond just the convenience of not having to go through monthly objections, but also just the way they feel by having that sustained control and the drug in their system." @AmrytPharma #Amryt #Acromegaly #Endocrinology #RareDisease #Mycapssa Acromegalycommunity.org Amrytpharma.com Download the transcript here

In Episode 17 of AcroTales we speak to Vanessa from Rhode Island in the USA. Vanessa was diagnosed with Acromegaly at the very young age of 21 and totally by accident too after a visit to see an allergy specialist! Vanessa's story explores the various conditions that she has, how these may have contributed and how Acromegaly hasn't stopped her living her life and - indeed - empowered her to help others who are facing the same struggles.

Mankind has always been fascinated by the abnormal. In this episode we talk about giants... or just really tall people. Giants are mentioned in mythology from all around the world, which means that mankind has always sought to explain this phenomena for about as long as we've been around. We cover a number of giants throughout history: from the "ugliest woman in the world," to "the man who inspired Shrek," and one giant that holds a title that no one else on Earth can claim. Listen to find out!

November 1 is Acromegaly Day. In this Podcast, Dr. Blevins gives us a perspective of the last 30 years on the developments in this field. Like many other conditions, the advances in therapy, imaging, surgery techniques, diagnostic testing, and clinical knowledge have been nothing short of remarkable. The future looks bright with many initiatives and research on new drugs and therapies, but there is still much work to do.  

Last week we caught up with Risa in San Francisco, California. She was nearing 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers) on her bicycle ride from Canada to Mexico to focus awareness of acromegaly and pituitary disease. We chatted at a cafe not far from the Golden Gate bridge about her experience and what it is like to undertake an effort like this one while managing a challenging disease like acromegaly. Not surprisingly the Fleet Week event in San Francisco created a few distractions as we were recording the podcast. When you hear it, you'll know why. Check out the ride's progress here, and on the Risa Unleashed page.

Sam was joined by consultant endocrinologist Dr Alison Evans to discuss acromegaly, a potential PACES curveball in a station 5 scenario. We talk through the typical presenting symptoms, important elements of a focussed examination, before covering the investigations, management and common examiner questions!    Twitter: @prepacespodcast Email: prepacespodcast@gmail.com  https://www.buymeacoffee.com/prepacespodcast   Music: Chase & Superepic by Alexander Nakarada | https://www.serpentsoundstudios.com Music promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.com Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

In Episode 15 of AcroTales we speak to Caroline from Bedford in the UK. Caroline was diagnosed with Acromegaly at the extremely young age of 13 and her fascinating tale explores diagnosis, the impact on family and her formative years, how it's helped shape her life and the amazing opportunities she now has to raise awareness.

Answer: B.   benign tumors on the pituitary that cause excess secretion of growth hormone. Rationale:  A patient with acromegaly produces too much growth hormone as a result of small tumors that develop on the pituitary gland. The condition causes excess growth of tissue, resulting in enlarged hands, feet, and facial structures.
