- Adrenal tumors are common and can be benign or malignant; thorough evaluations are essential to identify any hormonal or metabolic issues.
- A study of 264 patients revealed that the majority were middle-aged women, with a low malignancy rate of 4.54% and most tumors (71.95%) being hormonally nonfunctioning.
- Both functioning and nonfunctioning adrenal tumors are linked to cardiometabolic comorbidities, suggesting that all patients should undergo comprehensive hormonal and malignancy assessments, regardless of tumor type.
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and Parkinson's disease (PD) are the two most frequent age-related chronic diseases. There are many similarities between the two diseases: both are chronic diseases; both are the result of a decrease in a specific substance-insulin in T2D and dopamine in PD; and both are caused by the destruction of specific cells-beta pancreatic cells in T2D and dopaminergic neurons in PD. Recent epidemiological and experimental studies have found that there are common underlying mechanisms in the pathophysiology of T2D and PD: chronic inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, impaired protein handling and ferroptosis.

- There is a lack of research on ethnomedical practices for children in Eastern Europe, especially in Romania, which has a strong tradition of using medicinal plants for treating childhood illnesses.

- Findings revealed that education level influenced both the number of plants used and the range of illnesses treated, while residency (urban vs. rural) mainly affected how plants were sourced (harvested vs. purchased).
