Outcomes of FRAX-Predicted Risk Treatment Thresholds in Women
Participants included in the study were women aged 40 and older, with a baseline bone mineral density measure after 1996, and with at least a 5-year follow-up.
Genetically Determined Low Vitamin D Concentrations Associated With Low Testosterone Levels
Genetically low 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels are associated with lower testosterone levels.
C-Peptide Responsiveness During OGTT May Explain HbA1c Variation at T1D Diagnosis
The addition of timing measures of C-peptide responsiveness may partly explain the glycated hemoglobin variation at diagnosis of type 1 diabetes.
Does Parathyroidectomy Reduce CV Risk in Primary Hyperparathyroidism?
Parathyroidectomy may have a potential beneficial effect on lipid profiles and decrease cardiovascular risk in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Hypertonic Saline Bolus May Be Preferable to Continuous Infusion for SIADH-Induced Hyponatremia
Bolus administration of hypertonic saline delivers fast elevation of plasma sodium levels with more effective neurologic changes within 6 hours of presentation of symptomatic hyponatremia from syndrome of inappropriate antidiuresis.
Single Radiofrequency Ablation Has Long-Term Effects on Benign Thyroid Nodules
Radiofrequency ablation is safe and may have a long-lasting effect in patients with benign thyroid nodules.

Autonomous cortisol secretion is common in patients with primary aldosteronism and is associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes.
Gestational Age, Birth Weight Cutoff Values May Improve Diagnosis of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Adjusting threshold levels of 17-OHP to reflect gestational age and birth weight might be a safe and efficient strategy to improve screening for CAH in newborns.
