Gigantism
and acromegaly are the two diseases resulting from hyper function of the
pituitary gland.
Gigantism
and acromegaly are conditions that are nearly always due to a pituitary adenoma
that is because of excessive secretion of a growth hormone called hypersomatotropism.
<span>If GH
hypersecretion begins in childhood, before closure of the epiphyses pituitary
gigantism occurs. It is a rare condition where skeletal growth velocity and
ultimate stature are increased, but little bony deformity occurs. However,
soft-tissue swelling occurs, and the peripheral nerves are enlarged. Hypogonadotropic
hypogonadism and deferred puberty is also normally present, resulting in a
eunuchoid habitus. While Acromegaly
occurs after the growth plate cartilage fuses in adulthood, it is the same
disorder of IGF-I excess but in acromegaly, an unadorned disease that morbidity
and mortality rates are high because its often diagnosed late, where the
disease is associated with cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and respiratory
disorders and malignancies. </span>

Nowadays, different countries are constantly emerging and
expanding their liabilities which may include the field of medicine. The
disease that is being discussed by the instructor that is considered nearly
eradicated is probably the measles. This disease is caused by Paramyxovirus which
is a major respiratory pathogen among infants and young children. Measles is
also known as “rubeola virus”, an acute, highly respiratory symptoms and a
maculopapular rash that affects the mouth, head, body and extremities. It
begins with the appearance of Koplik spots which may end up to some
complications like symptomatic encephalitis and subacute sclerosing
panencephalitis(SSPE). In order to prevent this type of disease MMR(Measles, Mumps
& Rubella) Vaccine is needed. According to some of the reports, it is still
common to some of the countries, but WHO campaigns to eradicate the disease worldwide
by the year 2020.
