In the study, information on side effects and how well Sogroya (somapacitan) works during long term treatment in people with Adult Growth Hormone Deficiency (AGHD) will be collected and analysed. Participants will be treated with Sogroya (somapacitan) as prescribed by the study doctor, in accordance with normal clinical practice. The study will last for 5-10 years, depending on when the participant join the study. The participant will be asked to complete two short questionnaires during every visit to the clinic. The questionnaires will collect information on the participant's well-being, work ability and ability to perform daily activities.

Background: Endocrine disorders involve changes to glands that produce hormones. Hormones are released by these glands into the blood so they can direct the function of other tissues in the body. Researchers want to study people who may have endocrine disorders. They want to learn more about the conditions that affect endocrine glands. Objective: To study adults with a variety of endocrine disorders for research and physician education. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 and older who have an endocrine or metabolic-related disorder Healthy volunteers 18 and older Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records. Participants will have a physical exam and medical history. The length of the study and the schedule will vary by participant. Tests may include: Blood and urine tests Stool and saliva samples Imaging studies: Participants will lie on a table while a machine takes pictures of the body. They may be injected with a substance to make their organs more visible in the pictures. Tests of endocrine tissue function Consultation with other specialists Sleep study Medical photographs Participants may be treated for their endocrine disorder. This could include: Surgery. If tissue is removed during surgery, it may be studied. Radiation Medicine Participants may have genetic testing. This will be done with a small amount of blood, cells from a cheek swab, or saliva.

RADIANT is a network of 14 clinical sites and several laboratories dedicated to the study of atypical diabetes. The objective of this study is to define new forms of diabetes and the unique mechanisms underlying these forms of atypical diabetes. The specific aims are to: Identify and enroll individuals and families with undiagnosed rare and atypical forms of diabetes. Determine the etiologic basis of the metabolic disorder among individuals and families with novel forms of rare and atypical diabetes. Understand the pathophysiology of individuals and families with novel forms of rare and atypical forms of diabetes.

The goal of this data review study is to collect data to learn more about thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal disease.

Gestational diabetes is one of the most common medical disorders in pregnancy and is a major risk factor for the postpartum development of dysglycemia. Despite the high risk of developing dysglycemia, 50-80% of women with gestational diabetes are not receiving testing within a year postpartum. The investigators will conduct a prospective cohort study to examine the use of continuous glucose monitoring immediately postpartum to estimate the risk of maternal dysglycemia postpartum.

Background: There are many endocrine and metabolic-related conditions. Two well-known disorders include diabetes and thyroid disease. Some of these diseases are caused by a change in genes. Researchers want to identify the genes involved in these disorders. They hope this will help them learn more about these diseases. Objectives: To learn more about conditions that affect the hormone-secreting glands (endocrine glands) in adults. To train doctors to diagnose and treat people with endocrine or metabolic conditions. Eligibility: Adults age 18 years and older with a known or suspected endocrine disorder. Relatives ages 18 years and older. Doctors will review all requests and available medical records to determine final eligibility for the protocol. Design: Participants will have a medical history and physical exam. Most participants will have 1 visit, and may have follow up visits if necessary. They may have tests, surgery, or other procedures to help diagnose or treat their condition. These could include: Blood, urine, and saliva tests Imaging tests. These may include X-ray, ultrasound, or scans. Sleep study Medical photographs Visits with other specialists at NIH Participants will provide blood, urine, saliva, or tissue samples. Some of these samples may be stored in the freezer for future studies. Participants may be asked to participate in genetic testing. They will give a blood or saliva sample for this.

Background: Endocrine glands give off hormones. Researchers want to learn more about the disorders that affect these glands in children. These disorders might be caused by changes in genes. Genes contain DNA, which is the blueprint of how a cell works. Researchers want to identify the genes involved in endocrine and metabolic disorders. This might help develop new ways to diagnose and treat the disorders. Objective: To study the inheritance of endocrine or metabolism disorders. Eligibility: Children ages 3month-18 with known or suspected endocrine or metabolism disorders. Family members ages 3months-100. They may participate in the DNA part of the study. Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records. Their parents or guardians will allow the records to be released. Participants will have a clinic visit. This may include a physical exam and medical history. Parents or guardians will give their consent for the study. Participants may have tests, surgery, or other procedures to help diagnose or treat their condition. These could include: Blood, urine, and saliva tests Growth hormone test Pituitary and adrenal function tests Picture of chromosomes Imaging tests. These may include X-ray, ultrasound, scans, or a skeletal survey. Genetic tests Sleep study Medical photographs If surgery is done, a tissue sample will be taken. Participants may have follow-up visits for diagnosis and treatment. Participating relatives will have one visit. This will include medical history and blood and saliva tests. The blood and saliva will be used for DNA testing.

High accuracy and precision bone age assessment is very important for the diagnosis and treatment monitoring of various pediatric diseases. The commonly used bone age assessment methods include GP atlas, TW3 score and Zhonghua 05. GP method is to compare wrist X-ray films with atlas reference X-ray films. Its main disadvantages are strong subjectivity and long atlas standard interval. Different from GP method, TW3 method is to grade and score each bone, add each epiphyseal score to calculate the total score of bone maturity, and obtain the corresponding final bone age value. Although TW3 scoring method is relatively accurate, it is complex and time-consuming, and there is great variability among evaluators. In order to evaluate bone age more efficiently and accurately, a method based on computer image automatic recognition technology can help to overcome these problems. In this study, 1000 children aged 1-18 in 5 hospitals are selected as the research objects. After taking bone age films with bone age instrument, the film reading results and evaluation time of AI Group, artificial group and standard group are recorded. One month later, the artificial group re-analyzes 1000 films with the assistance of AI system, and the evaluation time is recorded. Finally, the accuracy and time difference of artificial group, AI Group, artificial combined AI Group and standard group are compared. The purpose of this study is to use the most advanced artificial intelligence deep learning bone age evaluation software to explore the value of bone age instrument to improve the accuracy and diagnostic efficiency of bone age evaluation by pediatricians.

The investigators will conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine how an online training and peer support platform could help the preparation to transition to adult care. Among 14-16 year old youth with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D), the investigators aim to assess the effect of an online training and peer support platform (Support-t) integrated in usual care, compared with usual care on Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), adverse outcomes and psychosocial measures during the preparation for transition to adult care. The investigators will conduct a multi-site, parallel group, blinded (outcome assessors, data analysts), superiority RCT of adolescents with T1D (14-16 years of age) followed at one of 4 university teaching hospital-based pediatric diabetes clinics in the province of Quebec.
