Objective: One of the most severe endocrine side effects of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) is hypophysitis leading to adrenal insufficiency. Recovery is rare, although it has been reported after high-dose glucocorticoid treatment. This is the first randomised study to evaluate whether hormonal recovery differs in patients treated with high-dose glucocorticoids versus glucocorticoid replacement therapy.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the primary causes of mortality and disability, with arterial blood pressure being an important factor in the clinical management of TBI. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs), widely used as a model of essential hypertension and vascular dementia, demonstrate dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, which may contribute to glucocorticoid-mediated hippocampal damage. The aim of this study was to assess acute post-TBI seizures, delayed mortality, and hippocampal pathology in SHRs and normotensive Sprague Dawley rats (SDRs).

Aldosterone, the primary adrenal mineralocorticoid hormone, as an integral part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), is crucial in blood pressure regulation and maintaining sodium and potassium levels. It interacts with the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) expressed in the kidney and promotes sodium and water reabsorption, thereby increasing blood pressure. However, MRs are additionally expressed in other cells, such as cardiomyocytes, the endothelium, neurons, or brown adipose tissue cells.

Background: The use of exome sequencing (ES) has helped in detecting many variants and genes that cause primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI). The diagnosis of PAI is difficult and can be life-threatening if not treated urgently. Consanguinity can impact the detection of recessively inherited genes.

The purpose of this article is to overview the clinical significance of left supraclavicular adenopathy and review the etiology of inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis, starting from a presentation of a rare case of renal cell carcinoma (RCCs) with Xp11.2 translocation involving TFE3 gene fusion. This article also aims to review the literature to understand the characteristics of this rare type of renal tumor.
