[The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (RAA) system in endocrine diseases].

Modern, views are presented on the pathogenesis of arterial hypertension in certain diseases of endocrine glands. In patients with phaeochromocytoma, virilizing tumours, acromegaly, in Cushing's disease, and in Conn's syndrome at the present state of knowledge it is not possible to formulate unequivocal conclusions concerning the effects of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system on the mechanism of arterial hypertension development in these endocrinopathies.

Complications of corticosteroid therapy.

The complications of corticosteroid therapy in children are protean. Perhaps the most important of these are adrenal insufficiency after withdrawal of steroids, immunosuppression, and growth failure. The physician who is caring for a child receiving corticosteroids must be aware of these common complications as well as the many less frequent side effects, such as cataracts, pseudotumor cerebri, pancreatitis, and steroid myopathy, to name a few. In all children, the risk of using corticosteroids should be weighed carefully before therapy with these agents is begun.

The diagnosis and treatment of amenorrheas.

Correct diagnosis and treatment of amenorrhea is a challenging problem to the clinician. A systematic approach to the differential diagnosis and treatment, based on functional activity along the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis, is presented. By obtaining a detailed history, performing a meticulous physical examination, and utilizing several simple clinical and laboratory tests, a correct diagnosis can be reached for the majority of patients. Treatment is relatively simple and geared to the patient's desires. In most instances, understanding of the basic problem helps the patient to cope with it and no treatment is needed. If lack of menses is a problem, cyclic bleeding at regular intervals can be induced. When fertility is a problem, ovulation can be induced, provided that there is no ovarian failure. By spending sufficient time with the patient, paying attention to detail, and giving some thought, a correct diagnosis can be reached and adequate treatment given to most amenorrheic patients.

[Ways to lower temporary work disability in diseases of the endocrine system and disorders of metabolism].

The level of temporary incapacitation was studied with the aid of analytical prognostication (on the example of the town of Chimkent). Diseases of the endocrine system and metabolic disturbances were of significance among the causes of temporary incapacitation (1% of all the cases and 1.4% of total duration of temporary incapacitation) of the urban population. The indices studied were greatest in diseases of the thyroid gland and diabetes mellitus. Incapacitation indices depended on the patients' age and sex. The main routes for reduction of temporary incapacitation in diseases of the endocrine system were early detection, improvement of dispensary observation, and also complex treatment of the patients.

[Leading neurological symptoms of internal diseases].

After description of the central-nervous signs due to hypoglycemia, hypoxia, hypo- and hypercalcemia there are discussed several internal diseases with prominent neurologic symptoms like endocrine disorders of thyroid, adrenal and pituitary gland, malignant diseases especially regarding the hematopoietic system, disorders of the joints and connective tissue and metabolic disorders as acute intermittent porphyria, uremic and hepatic coma. The principal differential diagnostic considerations in this relation are being described in order to avoid severe diagnostic errors.
