Imaging Concordance With Vein Sampling for Primary Aldosteronism: A Cohort Study and Literature Review.

Introduction: Adrenal venous sampling (AVS) is used to distinguish unilateral from bilateral aldosterone hypersecretion as a cause of primary aldosteronism (PA). Unilateral disease is treated with adrenalectomy and bilateral hypersecretion managed medically.

Methods: We performed a single institution retrospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing adrenalectomy for PA from July 2013 to June 2022.

Development and testing of patient-centered education about hormone replacement therapy for women at high genetic risk of breast and ovarian cancer.

Objective: In this study, we aimed to develop education to assist BRCA mutation carriers in making informed decisions about HRT in the context of risk-reducing surgery, while simultaneously clarifying their treatment-specific values and reducing decisional conflict.

Methods: We enrolled premenopausal BRCA mutation carriers ages 19-49 without prior cancer or risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy to structured interviews in which they reviewed education about the risks and benefits of HRT. Materials included literature-derived data demonstrating associations between HRT and commonly considered health outcomes (breast cancer, vasomotor symptoms, sexual functioning, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, and blood clots).

Excellent Response to Therapy Occurs for Most Patients With Thyroid Cancer Treated With Lobectomy.

Introduction: American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines for Management of Thyroid Nodules and Thyroid Cancer indicate that thyroid lobectomy (TL) or total thyroidectomy (TT) are appropriate surgery for low- and intermediate-risk well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. We sought to determine outcomes of TL or TT by ATA response to therapy (RTT) classification.

Methods: This is a single-institution retrospective cohort study of adults with unilateral suspicious or malignant thyroid nodules under 4 cm from January 2016 through December 2021.

Examining the Effect of a Parent-to-Parent Intervention for Low-Income Youth with Serious Emotional and Behavioral Challenges.

Background: Numerous barriers to mental health utilization exist for families of children who present with serious emotional and behavioral challenges. Evidence-based practices that facilitate equitable outcomes across diverse populations are essential to identify. This study examined possible differential service outcomes in a Medicaid-funded, parent-to-parent intervention called Parent Support Partner (PSP).
