Methods to assess quality of life and recovery after endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for sellar lesions are limited and often biased by subjective patient-reported assessments. Objective in-situ assessments are lacking. Smartphone-based digital phenotyping has been increasingly studied across a variety of pathologies, utilizing built-in technologies to measure behavioral patterns pertaining to sleep, physical mobility, social interactions, and cognitive functioning, among others.

Article Synopsis
- * A total of 7,943 adult patients were identified, showing a prevalence of 10.4 cases per 100,000 and an annual incidence of 0.76 per 100,000, with complications such as hypertension, sleep apnea, and diabetes being commonly reported.
- * Findings indicate that diabetes significantly increases the risk for other serious health issues like myocardial infarction and cancer, emphasizing the need for comprehensive treatment approaches which include pituitary surgery and radiotherapy.

Objective: Associations between acromegaly and several respiratory diseases, such as obstructive lung disease or sleep apnea, have been suggested, but the relationship between bronchiectasis and acromegaly is unclear. We investigated whether acromegaly is related to the development of bronchiectasis.
Materials And Methods: Using the Korean National Health Insurance System database between 2006 and 2016, we studied the relationship between acromegaly and bronchiectasis in patients with acromegaly (n=2593) and controls (1:5 age- and sex-matched subjects without acromegaly, n=12965) with a mean follow-up period of 8.

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder characterized by excessive growth hormone (GH) secretion, usually due to a pituitary adenoma. This condition leads to progressive somatic disfigurement, including enlarged hands, feet, and facial features, and is often associated with systemic complications such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and sleep apnea. Anesthesia for patients with acromegaly presents unique challenges due to the characteristic anatomical and physiological changes associated with the condition.

Macroglossia is an uncommon condition characterized by chronic, painless and abnormal enlargement of the tongue. A multitude of medical conditions can cause macroglossia. Major endocrine and metabolic disorders associated with macroglossia include genetic, congenital and acquired conditions, such as mucopolysaccharidoses; acquired and congenital hypothyroidism and myxedema; transient neonatal diabetes mellitus; acromegaly and amyloidosis.
