The Centers for Diabetes Care at NewYork-Presbyterian take an active role in using innovative treatments and educating the public on how to prevent this chronic disease. They also address a wide range of metabolic and endocrine disorders, including primary hyperparathyroidism, osteoporosis, transplantation-related bone disease, and Paget's Disease. The Naomi Berrie Diabetes Center at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center is one of three Diabetes Centers of Excellence in New York State and has been cited by the American Diabetes Association for its quality care.
Insulin Resistance: A Pathway to Research in Fatty Liver Disease?
A Columbia endocrinologist merges his clinical practice and research pursuits to understand the role of insulin resistance in the development of fatty liver disease.
Insulin Pumps and Continuous Glucose Monitors: Understanding Their Use in the Hospital Setting
Weill Cornell Medicine endocrinologists present current guidelines and available evidence on the continuation of insulin pumps and CGMs by patients when admitted to the hospital.
Thyroid Nodules: Series of Clinical Trials Show the Promise of Radiofrequency Ablation
Columbia endocrine surgeon-scientist evaluates minimally invasive treatment for benign thyroid nodules.
New Medication Surmounts the Challenges of Weight Control
Weill Cornell Medicine obesity medicine specialist served as co-investigator in the SURMOUNT-1 phase 3 trial of tirzepatide, which achieved unprecedented levels of weight loss in adults with obesity.
Confronting the Challenges of Osteoporosis Management in Younger Adults
Columbia endocrinologist defines dilemmas in diagnosis and management of early-onset osteoporosis, exposing the barriers to care and proposing a framework for effective treatment.
A Role for Telemedicine in Weight Loss Management
Weill Cornell Medicine endocrinologists and weight control specialists compare effectiveness of the telemedicine model versus in-person care.
The Multiple Implications of Vitamin D Deficiency
Columbia endocrinologists investigate its role in disease and health and explore its significance for COVID-19.
Exploring Novel Treatments for Thyroid Cancer
Under the direction of Dr. Thomas J. Fahey, III, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have identified the use of gene expression analysis to discriminate benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
Interventional Endocrinology: An Emerging Specialty
Doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia are looking to interventional endocrinology, an emerging specialty that uses percutaneous, image-guided, less-invasive procedures to address endocrine disorders that offers an alternative to surgery.
Managing the Challenges of Pregnancy and Diabetes
Physicians at Weill Cornell Medicine reviewed the diagnostic criteria for diabetes in pregnancy; types of therapies available to prevent hyperglycemia; and strategies for reaching inpatient glycemic targets during the peripartum period.
Meeting the Pressing Need for Evidence-Based Obesity Care
Research is a key component of the Weight Control Center. Dr. Korner is the principal investigator of an NIH-funded study to understand the hormonal regulation of appetite and energy balance.
Pathways to Diabetes Prevention: It’s All Relative
We found that insulin production decreases long before a patient is actually diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Now that we know that a reduction in insulin production begins earlier on, we can diagnose T1D earlier in patients with antibody screening. So the question became how do we reach these individuals.
Regulating Metabolism in the Setting of Cancer
Dr. Goncalves has developed a mouse model that recapitulates the cachexia syndrome as they seek interventions – either dietary or metabolic – to help prevent muscle wasting and fat loss.
