Spotlight: Phentermine Induces Weight Loss in Prader-Willi Syndrome
Thanks to Alumni Association funding, first-year internal medicine resident Adham Abdel Mottalib, MD presented a poster at the 2019 Endocrine Society National Conference in New Orleans.
“Obesity (and its complications) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS), a genetic disorder that currently is neither preventable nor curable,” said Dr. Mottalib. “The case highlights the potential of using phentermine to induce weight loss in patients with PWS, possibly alleviating obesity-related morbidity and mortality among this patient population.”
Dr. Mottalib’s submission was selected among the top-scoring abstracts and also nominated to compete in the Endocrine Society’s Presidential Poster Competition.
Following his residency, Dr. Mottalib plans to continue his training in endocrinology, diabetes and metabolism.
