Article Synopsis
- Adrenal infarction (AI) is a rare condition often associated with systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), and pregnancy, typically diagnosed through CT and MRI imaging.
- A case study details a 55-year-old woman with pain in specific areas, leading to a diagnosis of AI alongside systemic lupus erythematosus, APS, and secondary blood coagulation disorders.
- The patient's treatment included medications like methylprednisolone and hydroxychloroquine, resulting in her well-being a year later; the report suggests that AI can be hemorrhagic or non-hemorrhagic, with bilateral, non-hemorrhagic cases being more common.
Objective: How well cardiovascular risk models perform in selected atherosclerosis patients for predicting outcomes is unknown. We sought to compare the performance of cardiovascular risk models (Framingham, Globorisk, SCORE2 & SCORE2-OP, and an updated new model) in predicting the 4-year outcome of patients with obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods: Patients with suspected CAD who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were recruited.
Purpose: The aim of the study is to construct two nomograms for predicting the invasive extent of pulmonary adenocarcinoma and nodule growth in patients with pulmonary pure ground-glass nodules (pGGN).
Method: Consecutive patients with pGGNs (n = 172) were retrospectively studied at one institution, formed the development cohort in predicting IPAs' nomogram. A separate cohort of patients with pGGNs (n = 116) from another institution was used for validation.
To investigate whether there were differences and consistent patterns that highlight and consolidate the metabolite changes in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), a meta-analysis of proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was conducted. PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase databases were searched up to August 2016 for collecting the relevant studies. After an inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data was extracted.
