Adrenocortical Cancer Cell uptake of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare cancer with poor prognosis, treated primarily through surgery and chemotherapy. Other treatments like radiation or thermal ablation for metastases have limited success, and recurrence is common. More effective management options are needed.

Low- and high-frequency spinal cord stimulation and arterial blood pressure in patients with chronic pain and hypertension: a retrospective study.

Purpose: Evidence suggests that traditional low-frequency spinal cord stimulation (LF-SCS) reduces arterial blood pressure (BP) in patients with chronic pain and hypertension independent of improved pain symptoms. However, it remains unclear whether high-frequency spinal cord stimulation (HF-SCS) also lowers BP in chronic pain patients with hypertension. Therefore, in a retrospective study design, we tested the hypothesis that clinic BP would be significantly reduced following implantation of HF-SCS in patients with chronic pain and hypertension.
