    Abstract Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy characterized by placental malperfusion and subsequent multi-organ injury. It accounts for approximately 14% of maternal deaths and 10-25% of perinatal deaths globally. In addition, preeclampsia has been attracting attentions for its association with risks for developing chronic diseases in later life for both mother and child. This mini-review discusses on latest knowledge on prediction, prevention, management, and long-term outcomes of preeclampsia and also touches on association between COVID-19 and preeclampsia.

    Abstract Patients with primary aldosteronism have an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The response to mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists varies among individuals, indicating diverse mineralocorticoid receptor activities in these patients. This study explored the factors linked to the efficacy of blood pressure reduction through mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with primary aldosteronism. We examined the relationship between the reduction in blood pressure and patient characteristics in a group of 41 patients with primary aldosteronism (24 males, mean age 55 ± 13 years, including 34 patients diagnosed with bilateral primary aldosteronism) before and after undergoing treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Significant reductions in office blood pressure were observed 3 and 6 months after treatment initiation. Single correlation analyses showed that the urinary chloride-to-potassium ratio displayed the strongest positive association with blood pressure reduction, surpassing plasma aldosterone concentration, plasma renin activity, and urinary sodium-to-potassium ratio, at 3 and 6 months. Multiple correlation analyses revealed a consistent and independent positive correlation between the urinary chloride-to-potassium ratio and blood pressure reduction at 3 and 6 months. The optimal threshold for the urinary chloride-to-potassium ratio with respect to its ability to lower blood pressure, was determined as 3.18. These results imply that the urinary chloride-to-potassium ratio may be independently associated with the effectiveness of blood pressure reduction facilitated by mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. Moreover, it could potentially serve as a valuable predictor of the effectiveness of these agents and function as an indicator of endogenous mineralocorticoid receptor activity in patients with primary aldosteronism.

    Abstract Introduction: Growth hormone (GH) deficiency (GHD) is often complicated by non-functioning pituitary tumors (NFPTs); however, its prevalence remains unclear because preoperative screening for GHD with provocative tests is not recommended. Accordingly, we attempted to clarify the characteristics of GHD in unoperated patients with NFPT.
    Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed adult patients with non-functioning pituitary adenoma (NFPA) and Rathke's cyst who underwent preoperative GH-releasing peptide-2 (GHRP-2) tests from January 2013 to December 2016. We investigated the association between peak GH response to GHRP-2 and background characteristics.
    Results: Among 104 patients (85 NFPA and 19 Rathke's cysts), 45 (43%) presented severe GHD, as diagnosed using GHRP-2 tests. Body mass index (β = -0.210, P = 0.007), free thyroxine (β = 0.440, P < 0.001), and tumor height (β = -0.254, P < 0.001) were significant variables for determining the peak GH response to GHRP-2 in multiple regression analyses. Overweight (odds ratio, 3.86; 95% confidence interval, 1.02-14.66) was significantly associated with severe GHD after adjustment for age, sex, creatinine, free thyroxine, tumor height and clinical diagnosis. The regression slopes between tumor height and peak GH response to GHRP-2 significantly differed between overweight patients and non-overweight individuals, as determined by analysis of covariance (P = 0.040). In the 48 patients who underwent postoperative GHRP-2 tests, severe postoperative GHD was significantly more common in overweight patients than non-overweight individuals (100% vs. 48%, P < 0.001).
    Conclusion: We observed a negative synergistic effect between overweight and tumor size on GH secretion in patients with NFPTs, indicating that GH provocation tests for diagnosing underestimated GHD could be considered in overweight unoperated patients with large NFPTs.
