Adrenalectomy for metastatic disease to the adrenal glands
Journal of British Surgery, 1996 Abstract A policy of supportive treatment is frequently adopted for patients with metastatic disease to the adrenal glands. This study reports an experience with adrenalectomy for adrenal metastasis. Between 1983 and 1993, adrenalectomy was performed in 52 patients for metastasis to the adrenal glands.

Metastases to the adrenal glands and the development of Addison's disease [PDF]
Cancer, 1984 Metastases to the adrenal glands are common in patients with cancer but symptomatic Addison's disease is rarely noted in this population. The development of body computerized tomography (CT) allows the diagnosis of adrenal metastases to be made more readily antemortem.

Thyroxine-binding globulin: investigation of microheterogeneity [PDF]
, 1981 Preparations of T4-binding globulin (TBG) from human serum was performed using only two affinity chromatography steps. Purity of the protein was demonstrated by a single band in overloaded disc and sodium dodecyl sulfate electrophoresis, equimolar ...

Online Easy Example Mining for Weakly-supervised Gland Segmentation from Histology Images [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Developing an AI-assisted gland segmentation method from histology images is critical for automatic cancer diagnosis and prognosis; however, the high cost of pixel-level annotations hinders its applications to broader diseases. Existing weakly-supervised semantic segmentation methods in computer vision achieve degenerative results for gland ...

Tunable and Sensitive Detection of Cortisol using Anisotropic Phosphorene with a Surface Plasmon Resonance Technique: Numerical Investigation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Tunable and ultrasensitive surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors are highly desirable for monitoring stress hormones such as cortisol, a steroid hormone formed in the adrenal glands in the human body. This paper describes the detection of cortisol using a bimetallic SPR sensor based on highly anisotropic two-dimensional material, i.e., phosphorene ...
