: Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) can coexist with primary aldosteronism (PA). The purpose of our study was to evaluate whether (MACS) influences parameters analyzed during adrenal venous sampling (AVS) in patients with PA. : Patients with PA from the SPAIN-ALDO Registry and the German Conn's Registry with available 1 mg-dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and AVS were included.

- The study aimed to assess the impact of smoking on the health profile and surgical outcomes of patients with primary aldosteronism (PA).
- In a retrospective analysis of 881 PA patients from 36 Spanish hospitals, smokers exhibited higher rates of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and larger adrenal tumors compared to non-smokers, although their blood pressure and potassium levels were similar at diagnosis.
- The results indicated that while smoking is linked to a greater prevalence of LVH and mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS), it does not significantly influence hypertension cure rates after surgery for PA.
Obesity is a worldwide chronic, complex, and progressive disease that poses a challenge for physicians to pursue optimal therapeutic decision making. This chapter focuses on the definition of obesity, based on excessive fat accumulation, and thus underscores the importance of body composition, and the clinical tools used to diagnose it in the context of excess weight, metabolic alteration, and obesity-associated comorbidity development. Additionally, it addresses the indications for surgery that are currently applicable and the description of the different types of patients who could benefit the most from the surgical management of excessive body fat and its associated metabolic derangements and quality of life improvement.

Considering the possible relationship among metabolic liver disease, cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, we aimed to evaluate the risk of developing albuminuria regarding the presence of epicardial adipose tissue and the steatotic liver disease status.
Methods: A retrospective long-term longitudinal study including 181 patients was carried out.
Article Synopsis
- Mycotic aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare but pose significant challenges in diagnosis and treatment, especially in patients with a history of infections.
- A case study of a 74-year-old male with bladder cancer illustrates the complexity of diagnosing multifocal mycotic aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms, which were initially mistaken for a Pancoast tumor.
- The case emphasizes the need for healthcare providers to consider mycotic aneurysms in patients with infection histories and the crucial role of Computed Tomography Angiography for early identification.
