Elastographic Evaluation of the Adrenal Glands of Dogs With Hypercortisolism
ABSTRACT Elastography is a promising technique for assessing tissue stiffness in the adrenal glands of dogs with hypercortisolism (HC). This study compared 30 dogs, 15 of which were healthy (control group) and 15 diagnosed with HC, confirmed by low‐dose dexamethasone suppression test (n = 11) or ACTH stimulation test (n = 4) without prior treatment ...

Adrenocortical neoplasia: evolving concepts in tumorigenesis with an emphasis on adrenal cortical carcinoma variants [PDF]
Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare, heterogeneous malignancy with a poor prognosis. According to WHO classification 2004, ACC variants include oncocytic ACCs, myxoid ACCs and ACCs with sarcomatous areas. Herein, we provide a comprehensive review of

Natural Products in Cancer Prevention and Therapy: Current Challenges and Future Directions
Natural products play a pivotal role in cancer therapy. They induce cancer cell death by reprogramming four metabolic pathways while precisely targeting the tumor microenvironment and immune cells. These compounds not only leverage novel delivery systems for innovative applications but also demonstrate unique therapeutic efficacy across clinical stages:

Methylation status of Vitamin D receptor gene promoter in benign and malignant adrenal tumors [PDF]
We previously showed a decreased expression of vitamin D receptor (VDR) mRNA/protein in a small group of adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) tissues, suggesting the loss of a protective role of VDR against malignant cell growth in this cancer type ...

Atherosclerotic risk factors and complications in patients with non-functioning adrenal adenomas treated with or without adrenalectomy: a long-term follow-up study [PDF]
Objective: Despite the increased prevalences of hypertension. type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). hyperlipidemy, and obesity in patients with non-functioning adrenal adenomas (NFAAs), there is a paucity of data on long-term atherosclerotic morbidity as well

Aldosterone-producing adenoma and other surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism [PDF]
Surgically correctable forms of primary aldosteronism are characterized by unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion and renin suppression, associated with varying degrees of hypertension and hypokalemia. Unilateral aldosterone hypersecretion is caused by an
