Deep Multi-Scale Resemblance Network for the Sub-class Differentiation of Adrenal Masses on Computed Tomography Images [PDF]
The accurate classification of mass lesions in the adrenal glands (adrenal masses), detected with computed tomography (CT), is important for diagnosis and patient management. Adrenal masses can be benign or malignant and benign masses have varying prevalence.

Diagnostic imaging in congenital adrenal hyperplasia – how does it help? [PDF]
The phenotypic manifestation of congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is variable, and this largely depends on the extent of 21-Hydroxylase enzyme deficiency.

Adrenal Tumor Mimicking Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Elevated 17-hydroxyprogesterone may be caused by congenital adrenal hyperplasia, ovarian or adrenal tumors. A positive cosyntropin stimulation test result for 17-hydroxyprogesterone may be found in functional or non-functional tumors and be related to ...

Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis for the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis model with memory [PDF]
This paper generalizes the existing minimal model of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in a realistic way, by including memory terms: distributed time delays, on one hand and fractional-order derivatives, on the other hand. The existence of a unique equilibrium point of the mathematical models is proved and a local stability analysis is ...

This cross‐sectional study was conducted from October 2023 to December 2023 at our Hospital of Hangzhou and enrolled individuals who participated in free premarital medical examination and free prepregnancy health examination. A self‐designed questionnaire (Cronbach's α = 0.917) was used to collect the demographic information and KAP scores.

Adrenal crises: perspectives and research directions [PDF]
Adrenal crises (AC) are life-threatening complications of adrenal insufficiency (AI). These events have an estimated incidence of between 5 and 10 ACs/100 patient years (PY) and are responsible for some of the increased morbidity and excess mortality ...

Stability and Hopf bifurcation analysis of a four-dimensional hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis model with distributed delays [PDF]
A four-dimensional mathematical model of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis is investigated, incorporating the influence of the GR concentration and general feedback functions. The inclusion of distributed time delays provides a more realistic modeling approach, since the whole past history of the variables is taken into account.
