Computerized tomography (CT) and ultrasonography demonstrated a pheochromocytoma of the broad ligament of the uterus in a patient in whom arteriographic findings had been negative. We suggest that either or both of these techniques be used initially because, although they are not histologically specific, they are noninvasive and sensitive. An additional advantage of CT is its ability to evaluate sites of extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas above the diaphragm.

The rise of extracellular matrix (ECM)-supported three-dimensional (3D) cell culture systems which bridge the gap between in vitro culture and in vivo living tissue for pharmacological models has increased the need for simple and robust cell viability assays. This study presents the development of an effective biosensing assay for in situ monitoring of the catecholamine neurotransmitter exocytosis levels for cell viability assessment within complicated cell-encapsulated hydrogel milieu. Firstly, the biosensing assay demonstrated the distinction among four pheochromocytoma (PC12) cell lines with varying degrees of differentiation and the discrepancy in cellular neurosecretory capacity between two-dimensional (2D) monolayer and 3D agarose hydrogel culture conditions, accompanied by morphological distinctions.

Adrenal diseases pose significant diagnostic challenges due to the wide range of neoplastic and non-neoplastic pathologies. Radiologists have a crucial role in diagnosing and managing these conditions by, leveraging advanced imaging techniques. This review discusses the vital role of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine in adrenal imaging, and focuses on morphological and functional evaluations.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the suitability of the TriNetX database for researching the real-world management of Von Hippel-Lindau (vHL), a rare hereditary disease characterized by various tumors.
- The researchers analyzed data from 1,232 patients diagnosed with vHL within the TriNetX database to identify the prevalence of several vHL-related conditions, finding that certain conditions like renal cell carcinoma and pheochromocytomas were more common than others.
- Despite the robust patient data available, the findings suggest that vHL and its associated conditions may be underdiagnosed within the TriNetX database, casting doubt on its effectiveness for comprehensive vHL studies compared to existing literature.
In recent years, there has been a significant rise in both the frequency and severity of colitis. This infection presents a broad clinical spectrum, ranging from asymptomatic colonization to severe fulminant colitis, which often requires urgent surgical intervention. The failure of medical treatments and the development of toxic megacolon typically necessitate surgery, though it is associated with high mortality rates.
