Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with aggressive behaviour and a poor prognosis. Patients can present with adrenal hormonal excess or with nonspecific symptoms driven by the presence of an abdominal mass or metastatic disease. Many are completely asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.

- Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Mycoplasma genitalium are bacteria that infect the human respiratory and urogenital tracts by attaching to host cells through cytoadhesins.
- These cytoadhesins bind specifically to sialylated glycans on host surfaces, making them critical for infection.
- Researchers are exploring ways to design inhibitors that block these interactions, which could lead to new treatments for infections caused by these pathogens.
Introduction And Importance: Sternutation is, by definition, a situation that increases abdominal pressure. However, it has not been clearly linked to protrusion of abdominal content through weaknesses in the abdominal boundaries.
Case Presentation: Here we present a case report in which the only trigger factor found for an abdominal content protrusion was a sternutation episode.
Objective: This article aims to estimate the differences in environmental impact (greenhouse gas [GHG] emissions, land use, energy used, acidification and potential eutrophication) after one year of promoting a Mediterranean diet (MD).
Methods: Baseline and 1-year follow-up data from 5800 participants in the PREDIMED-Plus study were used. Each participant's food intake was estimated using validated semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaires, and the adherence to MD using the Dietary Score.
Article Synopsis
- There is a lack of discharge protocols for acute pancreatitis (AP) patients, which the Hungarian Pancreatic Study Group (HPSG) aims to address with a new, validated protocol based on laboratory data and symptoms.
- An international survey revealed that 87.5% of participating medical centers do not have discharge protocols, but those that do see shorter hospital stays and lower readmission rates.
- The HPSG discharge protocol resulted in the lowest average length of hospital stay and demonstrated safety through a low readmission rate, highlighting the need for developing and validating more standardized discharge protocols for AP care.
