Objective: To provide a rigorous and critical review of studies in which formal neuropsychological (NP) testing and measurement of health-related quality of life (HRQL) were conducted pre- and post-parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). These data contribute to the discussion on the utility of surgical intervention for nonclassic PHPT.
Summary Background Data: PHPT is a complex endocrinopathy involving calcium metabolism and a potent hormone made by the parathyroid glands.
Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare tumor with a dismal prognosis. In stark contrast, benign incidental adrenal lesions are detected commonly on routine abdominal imaging. We report a case of a 74-year-old man with a history of germ cell testicular carcinoma who presented with a 4.

We report the results of an effectiveness trial of a quality improvement effort to increase the use of 3-hydroxy-3methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG CoA) reductase inhibitors, beta-blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in patients with CHD in a network-model managed-care setting.
Methods: Patients with CHD were identified by searching a claims database.
Background: Effective therapies exist for reducing mortality in persons with coronary heart disease (CHD), but they remain underused.
Objective: To report the design and baseline results of a quality improvement project designed to increase the use of hydroxymethyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, beta-adrenergic blocking agents, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors in patients with CHD in a network-model managed care setting.
Methods: Patients with CHD were identified by searching a claims database.
