Article Synopsis
- * A study analyzed data from 411 patients to assess blood-based biomarkers (NLR, PLR, FIB4, etc.) for predicting hospital mortality, using statistical techniques to gauge their impact on mortality rates.
- * Key findings revealed that NLR, PLR, and FIB4 were strong predictors of hospital mortality, while other markers like INPR, APRI, LMR, and ALBI did not significantly influence mortality predictions in this context.
An unusual presentation of hypopituitarism caused by a sellar aneurysm.
Arch Endocrinol Metab
October 2024
Article Synopsis
- - Hypopituitarism is a rare condition characterized by the absence of pituitary hormones, often caused by tumors or other masses, and diagnosed using MRI; intrasellar aneurysms are an uncommon cause, accounting for about 0.17% of cases.
- - A case study of a 72-year-old man highlights the connection between gastrointestinal issues and hypopituitarism, where he was found to have an unruptured internal carotid artery aneurysm, leading to panhypopituitarism.
- - After a stent-assisted coil embolization to treat the aneurysm and hormonal therapy, the patient showed no improvement in pituitary function after one year, emphasizing that hypopituitarism can persist
Background/objectives: Most cases of colorectal cancer (CRC) arise from adenomatous polyps. Identifying risk factors for colorectal adenoma (CRA) is critical for CRC prevention. Emerging evidence suggests a link between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and an elevated risk of CRA and CRC, potentially mediated by visceral obesity and adiponectin (APN).

A total of 33 Wurttemberg × Sjenica Pramenka sheep breeds were examined, 17 ewes were from outdoors and 16 were from indoor housing systems during three experimental periods (thermoneutral period, severe HS and moderate HS). Sheep under HS have a higher BT, and the magnitude of BT measured by infrared thermography (IRT) was higher than RT.
