Efficacy of subcutaneous Levothyroxine in a case of refractory hypothyroidism: A case report.

Rationale: Daily oral synthetic levothyroxine (LT4) is the main treatment for hypothyroidism, which, in most cases, allows the regression of symptoms and the normalization of the thyroid function. However, rarely, despite a high dose of oral LT4, hypothyroidism persists and is called refractory hypothyroidism. Intravenous or intramuscular treatment is then often necessary.

Screening for Prognostic Biomarkers in Metastatic Adrenocortical Carcinoma by Tissue Micro Arrays Analysis Identifies P53 as an Independent Prognostic Marker of Overall Survival.

Advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) has poor but heterogeneous prognosis. Apart from Ki67 index, no prognostic or predictive biomarker has been validated in advanced ACC, so far. We aimed at analyzing expression of a large panel of proteins involved in known altered pathways in ACC (cell cycle, Wnt/ß-catenin, methylation) to identify and prioritize potential prognostic or predictive parameters metastatic ACC population.

Potentiation of mitotane action by rosuvastatin: New insights for adrenocortical carcinoma management.

Mitotane (also termed o,p'‑DDD) is the most effective therapy for advanced adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC). Mitotane‑induced dyslipidemia is treated with statins. Mitotane and statins are known to exert anti‑proliferative effects in vitro; however, the effects of statins have never been directly evaluated in patients with ACC and ACC cells, at least to the best of our knowledge.
