Objective: Patient characteristics of Cushing's syndrome differ between countries and have not been assessed in the Australian dog population. This study describes signalment and distribution of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent hypercortisolism (ADH) and ACTH-independent hypercortisolism (AIH) in Australian dogs.
Animals: Two-hundred client-owned dogs that had endogenous ACTH concentrations measured by radioimmunoassay.

Congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) can cause delayed secondary sexual characteristics and contribute to juvenile osteoporosis, with multiple causative genes having been reported. We treated a 27-year-old man diagnosed with central hypogonadism, presenting with delayed secondary sexual characteristics and juvenile osteoporosis, using bone resorption inhibitors and testosterone therapy. Genetic testing revealed missense variants both in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 () and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor () genes, a combination that has not been previously reported.

Background: The clinical significance of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) low and HER2(0) expression in hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer patients remains uncertain. This study aimed to explore the clinical and pathological characteristics, prognosis, and endocrine therapy (ET) sensitivity among HR+ breast cancer patients with HER2 low and HER2(0) expression.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 390 HR+, HER2-negative breast cancer patients who underwent radical surgery at The First Affiliated Hospital of Bengbu Medical University between December 2014 and December 2017.

Background: Invasive breast cancer (BC) is a highly life-threatening disease affecting women world-wide. While its early identification may benefit the provision of more effective therapies, several BC-associated factors may influence BC patients' therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, identifying novel prognostic and therapeutic targets for invasive BC can help with accurate prognosis and therapy-related decisions.

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.
