Cardiovascular features of possible autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas [PDF]
Background: Low-grade incomplete post-dexamethasone cortisol suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas – recently defined as possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS) – has been associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality.

Scoliosis Surgery in a Patient With Advanced Friedreich's Ataxia—It Is Not Too Late
ABSTRACT Friedreich's ataxia is a multisystem disorder with scoliosis being the most common non‐neurological manifestation. While scoliosis surgery is typically performed in adolescent, ambulatory patients, few data exist on surgical outcomes in patients with advanced disease.

Of mice and men: Pinpointing species differences in adipose tissue biology
The prevalence of obesity and metabolic diseases continues to rise, which has led to an increased interest in studying adipose tissue to elucidate underlying disease mechanisms. The use of genetic mouse models has been critical for understanding the role

Adaptations to iron deficiency: cardiac functional responsiveness to norepinephrine, arterial remodeling, and the effect of beta-blockade on cardiac hypertrophy. [PDF]
BackgroundIron deficiency (ID) results in ventricular hypertrophy, believed to involve sympathetic stimulation. We hypothesized that with ID 1) intravenous norepinephrine would alter heart rate (HR) and contractility, 2) abdominal aorta would be larger ...

Metabolic Remodeling Promotes Cardiac Hypertrophy by Directing Glucose to Aspartate Biosynthesis
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: Hypertrophied hearts switch from mainly using fatty acids (FAs) to an increased reliance on glucose for energy production. It has been shown that preserving FA oxidation (FAO) prevents the
