Understanding Acromegaly
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- A simple and visual explanation of acromegaly. We cover the presentation (including the pathophysiology of bitemporal hemianopia) and management. Management involves dopamine agonists such as bromocriptine, somatostatin analogues such as ocreotide and trans-sphenoidal surgery to remove a pituitary adenoma if this is the cause.

I have a pituitary tumor secreting GH so I really appreciate how precise and helpful your presentation is here, it helped me understand what's happening.
How tall are you and how old are you??
@Bueno thats really messed up man.. you want a potentially fatal disease just for a bit of height? use your brain omds be happy you werd born healthy, a lot of people werent
How tall are you?
Not everyone gets tall!!! I'm 5'2 alot if us aren't
Outstanding video. A friend just shared he's battling this, so your video helps explain A LOT.
I have Acromegaly and this video is one of the BEST I've ever seen -- will share it w/the FB Acromegaly Community, well done!
You don't always grow tall, took 20 yrs basically for diagnosis, I'm 5'2
@@DankDragon62i am here because I believe I got this problem. If you can share more about how did you get the diagnosis it would be great.
There is a theory that in the biblical account of David vs Goliath, that Goliath had acromegaly. He was a giant of a man, and the pressure on his optic chiasm could have caused him poor vision that made him take off his helmet to try to see David better (and we all know how that turned out).
Thats cool!
Thank u so much. It. Has taken me 15 years to be diagnosed.
Was not and still is not easy. But the peace in just being treated.

Purchase some Nestle chocolate bar, wash it and store in your fridge. This should fix all the damages from injections.
