Co-existing autonomous cortisol secretion in primary aldosteronism.

Aim: Co-existing primary aldosteronism (PA) and autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) has been recently recognized as a distinct entity. This study aimed to assess the incidence of ACS in patients with PA, and its impact on clinical and laboratory parameters.

Methods: Ninety-two patients diagnosed with PA were included.

Assessment of diabetes-specific eating disorder risk in adult patients with diabetes.

Purpose: Adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) are reported to be at higher risk for clinical eating disorders (ED) and other disordered eating behaviors (DEB) than their peers without diabetes. On the other hand, there is insufficient data on DEB in adults with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our study aimed to investigate the prevalence of DEB in patients with T1D and T2D on intensive insulin therapy followed in our outpatient clinic.

A Neglected Point: Frailty in Older Adults with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer.

Backgruound: This study investigated the risk of frailty in older adults with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and the effect of thyroid- stimulating hormone (TSH) levels on frailty.

Methods: This single-center, cross-sectional study included 70 DTC patients aged ≥60 years with stable TSH levels during the previous year while receiving levothyroxine. Frailty was assessed using the fried frailty phenotype (FFP).

Assessment of aortic perivascular and renal sinus fat in endogenous cortisol excess of different etiology.

Objective: Endogenous cortisol excess is known to affect body fat distribution. Ectopic fat is the accumulation of triglycerides in non-adipose tissue regions that normally contain little fat. The aim of study was to investigate the amount of ectopic fat in aortic perivascular and renal sinus fat of patients with endogenous cortisol excess and its relationship with their comorbitidies and laboratory findings.

Beyond symptomatology: A comparative analysis of unilateral and bilateral macronodular mild autonomous cortisol secretion.

Objective: To investigate the clinical, laboratory findings and signal intensity index (SII) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with bilateral and unilateral macronodular mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).

Patients And Measurements: Clinical and laboratory findings of 81 patients with MACS were examined from retrospective records. SII of adenomas and internodular areas were evaluated by MRI.
