Prediction of adrenal insufficiency after pituitary surgery: a retrospective study using beckman access cortisol assay
ConclusionsClinicians might rely on the first- and second- postoperative days 8.00 a.m. cortisol to identify patients to discharge with glucocorticoid replacement therapy waiting for the confirmation of SAI through the ACTH test. (Source: Pituitary)

Environmental DNA analysis of airborne poaceae (grass) pollen reveals taxonomic diversity across seasons and climate zones
CONCLUSIONS: eDNA analysis enabled finer taxonomic discernment of Poaceae pollen records across seasons and climate zones with implications for understanding adaptation of grasslands to climate change, and the complexity of pollen exposure for patients with allergic respiratory diseases.PMID:38163541 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2023.117983 (Source: Environmental Research)

Association Between Social Vulnerability Index And Admission Urgency For Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Among Commercially Insured Patients
Social vulnerability index (SVI) measures social factors that impact clinical outcomes for a county or census tract, particularly cardiovascular disease outcomes. Over the last decade, Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has improved clinical outcomes for patients with Aortic Stenosis (AS). However, despite data suggesting a strong relationship between SVI and cardiovascular diseases and procedures, it is currently unknown whether SVI is associated with the urgency of receiving TAVR in AS.

The 1 μg Synacthen stimulation test in the diagnosis of secondary adrenal insufficiency in patients with Rathke's cleft cyst and empty sella syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of SAI in the general patient population with empty sella syndrome and Rathke's cleft cysts is low. The 1 μg Synacthen test seems to be a valuable tool in the diagnosis of SAI among patients with RCC and PESS. Further studies are necessary to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the 1 μg Synacthen test with the standardization of test protocol and considering the cortisol level at the 20-minute timepoint. PESS patients report dizziness and apathy more frequently than RCC patients, which does not result from the disturbance of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, but probably from th...
