A recent study conducted by researchers at Dr. D.Y. Patil Vidyapeeth in Maharashtra, India, has shed light on the connection between Addison's disease and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES). Addison's disease, previously thought to be caused by infection, is now understood to have an autoimmune basis. The study reports a case of a patient with Arnold Chiari malformation who experienced a seizure and diarrhea, and was subsequently diagnosed with PRES and Addison's disease. The researchers emphasize the importance of prompt diagnosis and intensive treatment for PRES to improve prognosis. [Extracted from the article]

Researchers from Cukurova University in Adana, Turkey have published a new study on Addison's disease. The study focuses on a case of a 47-year-old woman who was diagnosed with both essential thrombocythemia and Addison's disease. The researchers highlight the challenges of managing these complex, coexisting conditions and emphasize the importance of an integrated approach. The patient experienced significant symptom alleviation and stabilization of her condition with tailored therapy targeting both endocrine and hematological aspects. The study underscores the need for comprehensive evaluation in patients with non-specific systemic symptoms to identify potential concurrent medical diagnoses. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway explored the role of copy number variations (CNVs) in autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD). AAD is a rare endocrine disorder caused by the autoimmune destruction of the adrenal cortex. The study found that while rare CNVs did not appear to be a major cause of AAD, larger deletions (>1,000 kb) were more common among patients. However, none of these large deletions were conclusively pathogenic, and further research is needed to understand the potential contribution of rare deletions to AAD susceptibility.

This document provides information about a clinical trial, NCT06309498, that is currently recruiting participants in Italy. The trial focuses on adrenal insufficiency, specifically in patients with autoimmune Addison's disease. The study aims to measure 11-deoxycorticosterone (11 DOC) levels in order to assess residual adrenal function and its potential impact on adrenal crisis and complications. The trial hopes to improve the management and treatment of Addison's disease, potentially reducing the need for hormone replacement therapy and improving patients' quality of life. Contact information for the primary investigator is provided for those interested in participating. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted at the University of Tunis El Manar in Tunisia examined the adherence to glucocorticoid replacement therapy in patients with Addison's disease (AD) and its association with patients' disease knowledge and quality of life. The study included 58 patients with AD, and it was found that 46% of them were non-adherent to glucocorticoid replacement therapy. Factors such as age, poor adherence to comorbidity treatments, history of adrenal crisis, and poor knowledge about the disease were associated with non-adherence. The study concluded that therapeutic education is crucial in reducing non-adherence, especially among young patients. [Extracted from the article]

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Bergen in Norway examined the biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease and inflammation in autoimmune Addison's disease (AAD). The study compared serum levels of 177 biomarkers in 43 AAD patients and 43 matched controls. The results showed that 19 biomarkers differed significantly between AAD patients and controls, with all but one being higher in AAD patients. Additionally, certain biomarkers were found to be higher in female AAD patients compared to controls. The study suggests that these altered biomarkers may be indicators of disease severity in AAD.

A recent study conducted by researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, explored the impact of autoimmune Addison disease (AAD) on brain health. The study compared the resting-state functional connectivity (rs-fc) of the brain between individuals with AAD and healthy controls. The results showed that individuals with AAD had stronger rs-fc in three networks of the brain compared to the controls. The study suggests that AAD affects the baseline functional organization of the brain and that current treatment strategies for AAD may be a risk factor. [Extracted from the article]
