Long-term outcome success after operative treatment for primary aldosteronism.

Background: Primary aldosteronism is a common cause of secondary hypertension. Resolution of hypertension and hypokalemia after adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism is variable. This study examines preoperative factors for persistent hypertension and long-term outcome after laparoscopic adrenalectomy in patients with primary aldosteronism.

Impact of Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm With Papillary-Like Nuclear Features on Revised Bethesda System Malignancy Rates at a Single Institution.

Background: The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (BSRTC) standardizes thyroid cytopathology reporting in six tier diagnostic categories. In recent years, noninvasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma was reclassified as noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP). This study examines the impact of NIFTP on the BSRTC risk of malignancy (ROM).
