Vascular anomalies in patients with growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas: illustrative case report and systematic review of the literature

Dorothee Caecilia Spille et al.

Summary: This article provides a systematic review on the vascular anomalies in acromegalic patients. The results show an association between acromegaly and endothelial dysfunction, which increases cardiovascular risk factors and vascular anomalies. Preoperative vascular imaging should be implemented to identify patients at risk and estimate surgical morbidity. However, further studies are needed to establish evidence-based recommendations in this area.

Subclinical atherosclerosis in acromegaly: Possible association with cardiovascular risk factors rather than disease activity

Maria Cristina Costa de Almeida et al.

Summary: The present study aimed to investigate the association between chronic GH/IGF-1 excess and increased prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with acromegaly. The results suggest that GH/IGF-1 excess itself is not a major driver of subclinical morphological atherosclerosis changes in patients with acromegaly, and optimal control of acromegaly-associated CV risk factors may preserve vasculature structure even when strict biochemical control is not achieved.

Role of Neuropilin 1 in COVID-19 Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Asma W. Al-Thomali et al.

Summary: Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can lead to inflammatory reactions and tissue damage, as well as thromboembolic disorders that increase the risk of stroke in COVID-19 patients. Neuropilin-1 (NRP-1) may play a role in the pathogenesis of stroke in these patients, as it is involved in SARS-CoV-2 entry into the brain. NRP-1 has the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation and other neurological disorders in COVID-19.

Incidence, mortality, and cardiovascular diseases in pituitary adenoma in Korea: a nationwide population-based study

Jae Sang Oh et al.

Summary: This South Korean study evaluated the incidence of different PA subtypes, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and related mortality. Results showed higher mortality rates for non-functioning pituitary adenoma and adrenocorticotropic or thyroid-stimulating hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma, while patients with growth hormone-secreting pituitary adenoma and prolactinoma had higher risks of cardiovascular disease.

COVID-19 and Risk of Acute Ischemic Stroke and Acute Lung Injury in Patients With Type II Diabetes Mellitus: The Anti-inflammatory Role of Metformin

Hayder M. Al-kuraishy et al.

Summary: Metformin therapy in type 2 diabetes patients with COVID-19 was associated with a lower risk of acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Metformin-treated patients showed lower levels of ferritin, CRP, LDH, and D-dimer compared to non-metformin treated patients, as well as lower lung CT scan scores. Further studies are needed to explore the relationship between AIS in COVID-19 diabetic patients and metformin therapy.

The association between treatment and systemic inflammation in acromegaly

T. L. C. Wolters et al.

Summary: The study found that patients with acromegaly exhibit a pro-inflammatory phenotype, particularly pronounced in those with uncontrolled disease. Treatment only partially reverses this pro-inflammatory bias. Systemic inflammation may contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in acromegaly patients.

Summary: Patients with TAO had higher levels of IGF-1 secretion and NF-kappa B activity in OFs, which were inhibited by treatment with octreotide. These OFs also expressed higher levels of SSTR2 on the cell surface.

Elevated Levels of Activin-A, TNF-Alpha and IL-6 in Acromegaly

Kubra Dogan et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the abnormalities in cytokine networks by measuring serum concentrations of TNF-alpha, IL-6, and activin-A in acromegaly patients. It found that activin-A could be a novel biomarker for diagnosing acromegaly and confirmed the involvement of inflammation in the pathogenesis of the disease. However, targeting inflammation alone in treatment strategies may not be sufficient in reducing comorbidities.

Summary: Platelet function monitoring-guided antiplatelet therapy can reduce thromboembolic events in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysm after stent placement, significantly enhancing minor or minimal bleeding events but not major bleeding events.

Summary: The study found that AIS patients have high levels of Lp-PLA2 mass, which is positively correlated with high Hs-CRP, blood pressure, BMI, TC, TG, VLDL, and LDL, and negatively correlated with HDL. Statin therapy can reduce the Lp-PLA2 mass level in AIS patients.
