Immediate Postoperative Decrease in Serum Potassium and One‐Month Reduction in Renal Function After Adrenalectomy for Primary Aldosteronism: A Multicenter Retrospective Study

Advances in Urology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Objectives Although adrenalectomy for primary aldosteronism (PA) corrects hypokalemia, we observed cases in which serum potassium decreased immediately after adrenalectomy, even in patients with preoperative hypokalemia. No studies have described postoperative potassium changes in PA.

STIM1 Reduction Prevents Tubular Aggregate Formation and Compromises Muscle Performance in Ageing Mice

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 16, Issue 6, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Ageing is an irreversible process involving the gradual decline of cellular functions in all tissues. In male mice, age‐related loss of muscle force is accompanied by the formation of tubular aggregates, which are honeycomb‐like structures composed of membrane tubules, proteins and Ca2+ deposits. Tubular aggregates are also found in
