Help me relate acromegaly,prolactinoma,pituit... and dwarfism with their effect to the society They help give endocrinologists a job. Acromegaly is a hormonal disorder that results when the pituitary gland produces excess growth hormone (hGH). Most commonly it begins when a GH producing tumor derived from a distinct type of cells (somatotrophs) and called pituitary adenoma. You're talking about some fairly complex and fairly rare stuff here. You could try wikipedia - when I looked up acromegaly, it gave famous "sufferers" of this. Then you could connect that to the rest of society, or at least have more information to do so. Since no one else is going to answer your question, I will. Acromegaly, prolactinoma, pituitary disorders and dwarfism really have no significant effect on society in general. There's nothing to "relate". The end. |
