The application of deep learning algorithms to predict the molecular profiles of various cancers from digital images of hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained slides has been reported in recent years, mainly for gastric and colon cancers. In this study, we investigated the potential use of H&E-stained endometrial cancer slide images to predict the associated mismatch repair (MMR) status. H&E-stained slide images were collected from 127 cases of the primary lesion of endometrial cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the effects of switching from daily to weekly growth hormone (GH) therapy using somapacitan in 11 patients with adult growth hormone deficiency (AGHD).
  • The results showed significant improvements in various metabolic indicators such as BMI, insulin resistance, and liver function 6 months after the switch (P < .05).
  • Although the data presented promising benefits, the study's small sample size suggests that further research with larger groups is needed to verify these findings.

Article Synopsis
  • Pituitary apoplexy is a rare condition linked to bleeding or loss of blood flow in pituitary tumors or glands, particularly nonfunctional adenomas.
  • In a study of 65 patients with incidental nonfunctional pituitary adenomas, 12.1% experienced pituitary apoplexy, with notable differences in liver enzyme levels and specific hormonal deficiencies between apoplexy and non-apoplexy groups.
  • The results suggested that factors like hormonal deficiencies and liver function are more closely related to pituitary apoplexy than the size of the tumors themselves.

Hypothalamic adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a rare but distinct type of AI. The leading cause of hypothalamic AI is a secondary side-effect of exogenous steroid intake, particularly in large amounts and/or long-term periods. The next cause would be the effect of the tumor in the hypothalamic lesions.

Context: Mutations in the gene, also well-known as the gene, are known to cause congenital adrenal hypoplasia associated with hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. The abnormal NR0B1 protein fails to suppress the transcription of promoters of steroidogenic enzymes, which are also targets of NR5A1 protein, also well-known as Ad4BP/SF-1 protein. Since NR5A1 and NR0B1 have antagonistic effects on steroidogenesis, the loss of function due to mutations may be compensated by inducing loss of function of NR5A1 protein.

Due to its rarity, adrenal hemorrhage is difficult to diagnose, and its precise etiology has remained unknown. One of the pivotal mechanisms of adrenal hemorrhage is the thrombosis of the adrenal vein, which could be due to thrombophilia. However, detailed pathological evaluation of resected adrenal glands is usually required for definitive diagnosis.

Here, we report retention following surgical orthodontic treatment in a patient with vertical maxillary excess associated with temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA) and marked mandibular retrusion. The patient was a man aged 20 years 10 months who presented with the chief complaint of maxillary protrusion. The facial profile was of the convex type due to marked mandibular retrusion.
