Immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab, have transformed cancer therapy by enhancing the immune system's ability to combat tumors, but they can also lead to immune-related adverse events, including adrenal insufficiency. This case report presents a 52-year-old male with a history of malignant melanoma who developed adrenal insufficiency after four months of pembrolizumab therapy. The patient was admitted with symptoms of malaise, vomiting, abdominal pain, and poor appetite.

Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used. Data from 118 patients discharged from the Royal Hobart Hospital (RHH) Mental Health Inpatient Unit between 01/02/2021 to 01/08/2021 were evaluated.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the maximal oxygen uptake (VO max) of athletes compared to nonathletes, highlighting its importance as a measure of aerobic capacity and physical fitness.
- The research involved 30 athletes and 120 nonathletes aged 17-25, using treadmill and cycle ergometry tests to assess their VO max via specialized software and data acquisition systems.
- Results showed that athletes had significantly higher VO max values than nonathletes, indicating superior aerobic capacity, with male athletes averaging 52.37 mL/kg/min and female athletes averaging 40.96 mL/kg/min on the treadmill.
Article Synopsis
- Slope failures during or right after slope-cutting can lead to serious accidents, prompting this study to examine labor accidents linked to these failures in Japan.
- The study advocates for a slope guideline by the MHLW to prevent such accidents and includes a case study showcasing its application during slope-cutting and nailing for improved safety.
- Monitoring methods are suggested to understand slope deformation better, while a checklist within the guideline allows for quick assessments and collaborative problem-solving among clients, designers, and contractors.
Introduction: Adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) include stillbirth, preterm birth, and low birthweight (LBW). Studies exploring the impact of weather factors and air pollution on APOs are scarce in Nepal. We examined the impacts of prenatal exposure to temperature, precipitation, and air pollution (PM) on APOs among women living in Kavre, Nepal.
