Background: Non-functional adrenal incidentaloma (NFAI) is associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiometabolic outcome. Identifying predictors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) may enable more appropriate management strategies in patients with NFAI. We aimed to investigate the body composition parameters and ASCVD risk in patients with NFAI.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is also associated with increased cardiometabolic risk. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of NAFLD in metabolically healthy subjects with MACS.

- In the study, sulfonated reduced graphene oxide (SRGO) was added to a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) made from gelatin, carboxymethyl cellulose, and hyaluronic acid to enhance its mechanical and conductive properties.
- Characterization techniques like FT-IR, SEM, and zeta potential confirmed the successful integration of SRGO, leading to improved performance and conductivity of the PEC films.
- The PEC films with SRGO displayed a polyelectrolyte behavior at different ionic strengths and pH levels, suggesting their potential as effective, controlled drug carriers for cancer treatments.
Purpose: Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (aPHPT) has been recognized as a condition that can lead to renal complications. Timely identification of prognostic indicators for renal impairment holds the potential to facilitate proactive monitoring and treatment strategies in these patients. This study aims to investigate the utility of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging and renal resistive index (RRI), in identifying renal parenchymal and vascular changes in patients with aPHPT.

Subjects And Methods: A total of 30 patients with KS (mean age: 21.53 ± 1.
