Cortisol Cutoffs for Adrenal Insufficiency Using Elecsys II: A Systematic Review
ABSTRACT Objective Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality if improperly managed. Adrenocorticotrophin (ACTH) stimulation testing is the most widely used AI diagnostic test. Historically, a serum cortisol threshold of 500 nmol/L (18.1 µg/dL), derived using polyclonal assays, was widely used.

ABSTRACT Objectives Insulinoma is a predominantly benign pancreatic neuroendocrine tumour that is traditionally managed surgically. However, surgical invasiveness and anaesthesia‐related risks limit its applicability in selected patients. Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)‐guided ethanol ablation has emerged as a minimally invasive alternative.

A New Case of Lethal Congenital Contracture Syndrome Type 3 With Hyperinsulinism and Optic Atrophy
PIP5K1C‐related lethal congenital contracture syndrome with hyperinsulinism and optic atrophy. ABSTRACT Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 3 (LCCS3, MIM #611369) is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants in PIP5K1C, reported in only two families to date.

Cerebral Ventriculomegaly With Abnormality of the Aqueduct of Sylvius: A Case Series
Genetic testing leads to a diagnostic rate of ~30% in a fetal cohort with cerebral ventriculomegaly where the neuropathological examination revealed a stenosis or atresia of the aqueduct of Sylvius. ABSTRACT Fetal cerebral ventriculomegalies are brain anomalies with potentially poor neurodevelopmental prognosis.

Summary Chronic stress, characterized by increased long‐term exposure to the glucocorticoid hormone cortisol, is increasingly linked to obesity development. Still, various knowledge gaps persist, including on underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of the current review is to provide the latest insights on the connection between stress and ...

Optic nerve hypoplasia and septo‐optic‐pituitary dysplasia
Optic nerve hypoplasia and septo‐optic‐pituitary dysplasia. Abstract The presence of a small optic disc on funduscopy is prerequisite for the diagnosis of optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH). Visual acuity may be normal. However, amblyopia can occur in ONH. A relative afferent pupillary light defect indicates unilateral or asymmetrical ONH.

Abstract Aims HNF1B variants cause autosomal dominant tubulointerstitial kidney disease (ADTKD‐HNF1B), but the phenotypic spectrum of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) remains incompletely defined. We aimed to characterise the multisystem phenotype associated with the HNF1B p.E105K variant and to examine the mechanism underlying insulin ...
