A Rare Presentation of Possible Disseminated Histoplasmosis with Adrenal Insufficiency Leading to Adrenal Crisis in an Immunocompetent Adult: A Case Report

Case Reports in Medicine, 2020
Histoplasmosis is caused by Histoplasma capsulatum, and commonly it causes an asymptomatic illness. Although Histoplasma is the commonest organism to infect adrenal glands, disseminated histoplasmosis in an immune-competent host leading to adrenal ...

Adrenal suppression in patients taking inhaled glucocorticoids is highly prevalent and management can be guided by morning cortisol [PDF]

, 2015
Context Up to 3% of US and UK populations are prescribed glucocorticoids (GC). Suppression of the hypothalamo–pituitary–adrenal axis with the potential risk of adrenal crisis is a recognized complication of therapy. The 250 μg short Synacthen stimulation

Corticosterone Contributes to Context‐Triggered Retrieval of Morphine Withdrawal Memories by Acting on Basolateral Amygdala Neurons Projecting to Nucleus Accumbens Core

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Context associated with morphine withdrawal elicits an increase in serum corticosterone levels. Corticosterone participates in CTR‐MWM by acting on MR, but not GR, in the BLA. MR in BLA→NAcC neurons mediates CTR‐MWM. MR increases presynaptic glutamate release and meanwhile participates in D1 receptor‐induced increases in presynaptic glutamate release ...

Adrenal insufficiency due to bilateral adrenal metastases - A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

, 2019
Objective: Bilateral adrenal metastases may cause adrenal insufficiency (AI) but it is unclear if screening for AI in patients with bilateral adrenal metastases is justified, despite the potential for adrenal crises. Method: A search using PubMed/Medline,

Glucocorticoid therapy for adrenal insufficiency: nonadherence, concerns and dissatisfaction with information [PDF]

, 2016
Objective: Appropriate self‐management of glucocorticoid therapy (GC) is crucial for patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). We aimed to describe patients’ self‐reported nonadherence to GC, evaluate perceived doubts about need for GC, concerns about ...

Norepinephrine Induces Sertoli Cell Ferroptosis via Receptors Desensitization Causing Stress‐Related Male Reproductive Dysfunction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Psychological stress activates the sympathetic–adrenal axis, elevating norepinephrine (NE) and suppressing reproductive hormones, thereby impairing male reproduction. Excess NE overactivates and desensitizes β‐adrenergic receptors (β‐ARs), triggering Sertoli cell ferroptosis and disrupting spermatogenesis.

Disruption of Gut Microbiota‐Mediated De Novo NAD+ Synthesis Contributes to the Development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that patients with PCOS exhibit altered gut microbial profiles, and FMT from PCOS patients induces PCOS‐like symptoms in mice. Specifically, gut dysbiosis reduces 3‐HAA levels in the context of PCOS. Administration of 3‐HAA to mice alleviates PCOS by promoting de novo NAD+ synthesis.

Integrin αvβ6‐Targeted PET/CT Imaging of Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer with [68Ga]Ga‐Trivehexin: Improved Preoperative Lymph Node Staging and Association with Immunohistochemistry

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrin αvβ6‐targeted [68Ga]Ga‐Trivehexin positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) can accurately identify regional lymph nodes and cerebral metastases in non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with 2‐deoxy‐2‐[18F]fluoro‐D‐glucose ([18F]FDG).
