Case report: Comprehensive follow-up of a Colombian family carrying a novel MEN1 variant linked to a rare ACTH-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
August 2024
Article Synopsis
- Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) is a genetic disorder leading to tumors, primarily in the parathyroid, pancreas, and pituitary glands, with rare cases of ACTH-producing pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma.
- A Colombian family with a novel MEN1 variant showed symptoms of hyperparathyroidism from their 20s to 50s, and the individual with the index case developed the rare ACTH-secreting pancreatic tumor.
- This study highlights the importance of genetic screening for early diagnosis and treatment of MEN1, as well as showcasing a unique case that adds new insights into the disorder's potential manifestations.
Importance: The advent of salt-based, high-nicotine electronic nicotine delivery systems [e-cigarettes] has contributed to their epidemic use among young people in the US, necessitating the need for policies to address the addictiveness of these products.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of partial nicotine reduction on new-generation e-cigarette users' puffing behaviors.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This randomized crossover clinical trial was conducted at the Clinical Research Lab for Tobacco Smoking at Florida International University in Miami between April 15, 2022, and October 17, 2023.

Microbiol Resour Announc
March 2024
Article Synopsis
- Bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) is a significant pathogen that impacts cattle production and reproduction globally.
- The text discusses the complete coding sequences of two specific isolates of BVDV-1a subtype found in Uruguay.
- Understanding these sequences can help in managing and mitigating the effects of BVDV on cattle industries.
Unlabelled: The Pediatric Index of Mortality 3 (PIM3) is a scale that estimates the risk of mortality in children admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) within the first hour of admission.
Objective: to validate the PIM3 scale in pediatric population admitted to PICU at altitudes over 2,500 meters above sea level (m.a.
Compared with other racial/ethnic groups in the United States (US), American Indians/Alaska Natives have one of the fastest climbing rates of drug overdose deaths involving stimulants. Validating the substances self-reported by Indigenous people who use injection drugs (IPWIDs) can present logistical and cultural challenges. While the collection of biospecimens (e.
