Using Point of Care Rapid Cortisol Measurement During Adrenal Venous Sampling in Primary Hyperaldosteronism.

: To assess success rates and cost-effectiveness of adrenal venous sampling (AVS) after implementing point-of-care rapid cortisol (RC) testing conducted using a europium nanoparticle-based fluoro-immunoassay in patients with primary hyperaldosteronism. : A retrospective review of AVS procedures was conducted at our medical center between January 2016 and June 2024. The primary objective was to compare the success rates of AVS before and after the implementation of the RC testing.

Therapeutic hypothermia after out of hospital cardiac arrest improve 1-year survival rate for selective patients.

Background: Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH) is a standard of care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Previous reports failed to prove a significant benefit for survival or neurological outcomes. We examined whether the proper selection of patients would enhance treatment efficacy.

Response of adenocarcinoma of the uterine cervix to chemoradiotherapy.

The aim of the current retrospective study was to investigate the response of advanced cervical adenocarcinoma (AC) to definitive chemoradiotherapy. Uterine cervical cancer is one of the most common cancer types among females, with squamous cell carcinoma (SQCC) being the most prevalent histological type. The incidence of cervical AC and its variants has markedly increased in recent decades.
