Adrenal hemorrhage has many etiologies including bleeding diathesis. A 10-day-old female baby was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of abdominal distention. Hemorrhage was determined on the right adrenal gland with abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography. Laboratory investigations showed PT 44 sec and aPTT longer than one minute. This article reports here an infant diagnosed as adrenal hemorrhage due to Vitamin-K deficiency presenting as an abdominal mass.

Noniatrogenic hypoglycemia: A universal marker for poor outcomes.
JTCVS Open
December 2024
Division of Cardiac Surgery, Department of Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Md.
Objective: Previous retrospective studies have established a relationship between postoperative hypoglycemia and adverse outcomes after cardiac surgery, but none have accounted for the cause of hypoglycemia.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent cardiac surgery at a single institution between 2016 and 2021. Patients were categorized as hypoglycemic if they had 1 or more postoperative blood glucose measurement less than 70 mg/dL and normoglycemic otherwise.
Blood eosinophil count and treatment patterns of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients in South Korea using real-world data.
Korean J Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Respiratory Medicine, Konkuk University School of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.
Background/aims: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management guidelines have increasingly emphasised the importance of exacerbation prevention, and the role of blood eosinophil count (BEC) as a biomarker for inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) response. This study aimed to describe the distribution and stability of BEC and understand real-world treatment patterns among COPD patients in South Korea.
Methods: This was a retrospective database analysis using data obtained from the KOrea COPD Subgroup Study (KOCOSS) registry between January 2012 and August 2018.
Precise diagnosis and effective management of highly vascular anterior mediastinal paragangliomas: A case report.
Int J Surg Case Rep

Department of Thoracic surgery, National University Hospital, Damascus University, Damascus, Syria.
Introduction: Mediastinal paragangliomas are rare neoplasms arising from extra-adrenal neural crest cells, presenting as either functional or nonfunctional tumors. Clinical manifestations range from catecholamine-related symptoms to physical compression effects. Accurate recognition of these tumors is crucial for diagnosis and management due to their rarity and association with vital mediastinal structures.

Clin Pediatr Endocrinol

Department of Pediatrics, Jichi Children's Hospital Medical Center Tochigi, Shimotsuke, Japan.
In Japan, newborn screening (NBS) for congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) began in 1989. NBS is useful for early diagnosis and preventing gender misidentification, however, it has a higher false positive rate for CAH compared to other diseases detected by neonatal screening. Recently, it has become clear that using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for second-tier testing reduces false positive rates and repeat blood sampling.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and Adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) are two pathologic conditions sharing several clinical features (hirsutism, acne, polycystic ovary morphology, metabolic alterations, ovulatory dysfunctions) and especially hyperandrogenism as a common clinical hallmark. Therefore, making a differential diagnosis of the two conditions still remains a great medical challenge.
Methods: In particular, the comparison discussed in this review referred to non-classical form of adrenal hyperplasia (NCAH), which regards the adult population, and the Endocrine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS), following the new set of PCOS diagnostic criteria proposed by the Experts Group on Inositol and Clinical Research, and on PCOS (EGOI-PCOS).
