Clinical characteristics of adrenal crisis in 371 adult patients with glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency.

Frontiers in endocrinology
BACKGROUND: Glucocorticoid-induced adrenal insufficiency (GIAI) is a hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysfunction caused by long-term use of exogenous steroids. Adrenal crisis (AC) is an acute complication of GIAI and one of the reasons for ...

[Adrenal insufficiency as part of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy].

Problemy endokrinologii
BACKGROUND:  X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is a severe neurodegenerative metabolic disease with a frequency 1:17,000 in newborn boys. Being a major part of X-ALD with an incidence of 70-80% of patients, adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a life-th...

Multiscale Road Extraction in Remote Sensing Images.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Recent advances in convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have shown impressive results in semantic segmentation. Among the successful CNN-based methods, U-Net has achieved exciting performance. In this paper, we proposed a novel network architecture b...

Convolutional Neural Networks for Recognition of Lymphoblast Cell Images.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
This paper presents the recognition for WHO classification of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) subtypes. The two ALL subtypes considered are T-lymphoblastic leukaemia (pre-T) and B-lymphoblastic leukaemia (pre-B). They exhibit various characterist...

Refractory collapse and severe burn: Think about acute adrenal insufficiency.

The American journal of emergency medicine
INTRODUCTION: Adrenal insufficiency (AI) is a rare endocrine disorder, which can in its acute form be life-threatening in case of late diagnosis or treatment. The stress during a thermal burn can easily decompensate the AI. We report the case of an a...

Increased Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Adrenal Insufficiency: A Short Review.

BioMed research international
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death in the world. Recent studies have shown an association between adrenal insufficiency (AI) and increased cardiovascular risk (CVR). Patients with AI receive glucocorticoid (GC) replacement...

Steroids Improve Hemodynamics in Infants With Adrenal Insufficiency After Cardiac Surgery.

Journal of cardiothoracic and vascular anesthesia
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether steroid replacement therapy improved hemodynamics in infants after surgery for congenital heart disease only when they develop adrenal insufficiency. The authors retrospectively investigated adrenal function and eval...
