Introduction: Primary hyperaldosteronism (PH) is characterized by autonomous adrenal aldosterone (A) hypersecretion. Unilateral adrenalectomy is the treatment of choice, when adrenal vein sampling (AVS) indicates lateralization of A secretion. To assure that each adrenal vein (AV) has been correctly sampled, cortisol levels in each adrenal vein must be higher than in the inferior vena cava. The adrenal gland cortisol/vena cava cortisol ratio is referred to as the selectivity i...

Introduction: Bariatric surgery (BS) has emerged as the most effective treatment for severe obesity, but weight regain after surgery is an important issue. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of different surgical techniques on long-term dynamic weight loss pattern.Materials and methods: We retrospectively included 444 patients with BMI > 35 kg/m2 who underwent different BS techniques: Sleeve gastrectomy (SG; n: 80), ...
