Approach to Endocrine Hypertension: A Case-Based Discussion.
Curr Hypertens Rep
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, 576104, India.
Purpose Of Review: Hypertension remains a major chronic disease morbidity across the world, even in the twenty-first century, affecting ≈40% of the global population, adversely impacting the healthcare budgets in managing the high incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications and mortality because of elevated blood pressure (BP). However, evaluation and management of endocrine hypertension are not optimal in clinical practice. With three unique clinical case scenarios, we update the evidence base for diagnostic evaluation and management of endocrine hypertension in this review to inform appropriate day-to-day clinical practice decisions.

Purpose: Our study aimed to discern disparities in metabolic, hormonal profiles, and comorbidities among patients with pituitary Cushing (PC), adrenal Cushing (AC), and Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS).
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis involving 76 patients diagnosed with PC ( = 26), AC ( = 21), and MACS ( = 29) at our clinic. We compared the groups' demographic data, clinical characteristics, biochemical profiles, hormonal analyses, and surgical interventions.
Mineralocorticoid Effects in Cushing's Disease: A Case Report.

Internal Medicine, Hospital Beatriz Ângelo, Unidade Local de Saúde de Loures/Odivelas, Loures, PRT.
Cushing's syndrome is a rare disease caused due to prolonged exposure to excess glucocorticoids. Although rare, diagnosing Cushing's syndrome is clinically significant as it allows tailored and timely management and significant reduction or even prevention of the comorbidities caused by cortisol excess. This report delineates the presentation of a 44-year-old female with refractory secondary hypertension and severe hypokalaemia, initially thought to be caused by hyperaldosteronism.

Surveillance of individuals at high-risk of pancreatic cancer using CAPS criteria and other expert consensus guidelines may result in earlier pancreatic cancer detection in some cases; therefore, clinicians are responsible for appropriately identifying and referring these individuals to appropriate high-risk pancreas cancer screening programs. This study aimed at assessing the perspective, knowledge, and clinical practices of cancer genetic counselors surveyed nationwide towards identification of individuals at high-risk of pancreatic cancer and utilization of high-risk pancreatic cancer screening programs. One hundred and eighty-nine genetic counselors who listed "Cancer" as their specialty on the NSGC website responded to the survey, which consisted of multiple practice-based, knowledge-based, and clinical vignette-based questions.

Background: Endemic in more than 20 countries, Chagas disease affects 6.3 million people worldwide, leading to 28,000 new infections and 7700 deaths each year. Previous meta-analyses on antiparasitic treatment need updates to encompass recent studies and to assess key clinically meaningful endpoints.
