Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can trigger immune-related adverse events (irAEs). The appearance pattern of irAEs, who is prone to them, and their mechanisms are still uncertain. In this study, we aimed to monitor patients initiated on ICIs for endocrinological aspects and to investigate the potential predictive markers in the development of endocrine-irAEs.

- Effective surveillance methods for seasonal respiratory viruses are crucial for managing outbreaks, and this study evaluated the effectiveness of air screening in a tertiary hospital and campus over five months.
- The study found that the overall viral positivity was significantly higher on campus (55.0%) compared to the hospital (38.0%), with Influenza A being the most prevalent pathogen at both sites.
- The research identified distinct peaks in Influenza A and RSV-A cases, with air screening showing potential as an early warning system for respiratory infections, except for rhinoviruses.
Objective: To investigate the clinical, laboratory findings and signal intensity index (SII) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of patients with bilateral and unilateral macronodular mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).
Patients And Measurements: Clinical and laboratory findings of 81 patients with MACS were examined from retrospective records. SII of adenomas and internodular areas were evaluated by MRI.
Context: The impact of abnormal cortisol secretion on cognitive functions in patients with mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) remains uncertain.
Objective: To assess cognitive functions, determine serum brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) concentration in patients with MACS, and investigate the association between cognitive subdomains and BDNF.
Methods: We prospectively recruited 84 participants-28 patients with MACS, 28 patients with nonfunctional adrenal adenoma (NFAA), and 28 control subjects matched for age, gender, body mass index (BMI), visceral adiposity, and educational level.
