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.

Genetic causes of Müllerian aplasia remain largely unknown. We report the first molecularly confirmed case of Coffin–Siris syndrome 3 caused by a de novo SMARCB1 variant presenting with Müllerian aplasia, supporting a potential association between BAF complex dysfunction and abnormal Müllerian duct development.

Circadian disruption via constant light induces sex‐specific remodeling of the microbiome, lipid mediators, and immune responses. Females exhibit broader gut microbiota alterations, reduced jejunal oxylipins, increased hypothalamic N‐acylethanolamines, and a more inflammatory cytokine profile. Muscle responses are sex‐ and fiber type‐dependent: females

Modulation of sebocyte function in acne: A pathway‐inclusive review
Acne is multifactorial, with the sebocyte acting as a central immunometabolic hub linking lipogenic, inflammatory, hormonal and barrier pathways. Mapping established and investigational therapies onto this sebocyte‐centred model offers a mechanism‐based framework that complements existing treatment paradigms and may guide more targeted, antibiotic ...
