Article Synopsis
- Hypoadrenocorticism in cats is rare, often presenting with abnormal serum sodium and potassium levels, but some cases show normal values; a study analyzed 41 cats with varying results.* -
- The study found that cats with electrolyte imbalances were more likely to exhibit symptoms like hypothermia and weakness, while over half of the subjects (85.4%) were discharged after treatment.* -
- About one-third of the cats showed hypercalcemia, and those without serious underlying conditions often had a good prognosis post-hospitalization; testing for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is recommended.*

Purpose: Implementation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) collection is an important priority in cancer care. We examined perceived barriers toward implementing PRO collection between centers with and without PRO infrastructure and administrators and nonadministrators.
Patients And Methods: We performed a multinational survey of oncology practitioners on their perceived barriers to PRO implementations.
Background: There is a recognized need for evidence to inform breast cancer screening guidelines and services for transgender people, who face barriers to accessing appropriate and inclusive health care.
Aims: This review summarized evidence for breast cancer risk and screening guidelines in transgender individuals, including the potential impact of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT); factors that may influence screening decision-making and behaviors; and considerations for providing culturally safe, high-quality screening services.
Methods: A protocol was developed based on the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping review methodology.
