Background: Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis recovery after cessation of steroid therapy in children with nephrotic syndrome (NS) has hardly been studied in the literature.
Methods: This 22-month cross-sectional study recruited children (2-14 years) with NS, having received a minimum 3 months of prednisolone, now in remission, and off steroids for 1, 3, or 6 months. Serum cortisol-basal and stimulated (with long-acting intramuscular adrenocorticotropic hormone), and factors affecting them, were assessed.
Background: The objective of this study is to evaluate the risk of being diagnosed with an eating disorder among transgender and gender-diverse (TGD) individuals, specifically examining how this risk differs following gender-affirming medical therapy (GAMT).
Methods: The study utilizes electronic medical record (EMR) data from the TriNetX database. A total of 90,955 TGD individuals were identified in the TriNetX database.

- The high altitude environment can harm the gastrointestinal tract, causing discomfort and injury to the intestinal barrier.
- Sodium butyrate, a gut metabolite, has shown potential as a treatment that can reduce inflammation and restore the integrity of intestinal cells.
- In laboratory studies, sodium butyrate effectively lowered inflammatory markers and improved cell barrier function, suggesting it may be a key factor in managing gut health under hypoxic conditions.
