Increased cardiovascular risk despite unchanged body composition in non functional adrenal incidentaloma.

Background: Non-functional adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiometabolic outcome. Identifying predictors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) may enable more appropriate management strategies in patients with NFAI. We aimed to investigate the body composition parameters and ASCVD risk in patients with NFAI.

Prevalence and Predictive Features of CT-Derived Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease in Metabolically Healthy MACS.

Objective: Patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) are at increased risk of cardiometabolic outcomes, such as hyperglycemia, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is also associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of NAFLD in metabolically healthy subjects with MACS.

Triglyceride-glucose index in patients with non-functioning adrenal incidentaloma, cortisol-secreting adrenal incidentaloma and healthy controls.

Objective: Cushing's syndrome increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been linked to an increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders. Whether patients with non-functioning adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) or cortisol-secreting adrenal incidentaloma (CSAI) have altered TyG index is unknown.

Case Report: Ethanol ablation of the Marshall vein as the first step for left atrial tachycardia ablation.

Electroanatomic mapping guides complex atrial tachycardia ablations; however, challenges may emerge after pulmonary vein isolation. 3D mapping systems can reveal the mechanism of tachycardia and critical areas that need to be ablated. Sometimes, however, these areas may be located deep inside, to the extent that they cannot be successfully reached by endocardial ablation.

Assessing the accuracy and reliability of ChatGPT's medical responses about thyroid cancer.

Purpose: ChatGPT has the potential to offer patient-friendly support. Thyroid carcinoma has become increasingly prevalent in recent years. This study aimed to assess ChatGPT's accuracy and adequacy in answering questions about information, management, and emotional support related to thyroid cancer.
