Pituitary Adenoma Incidence, Management Trends, and Long-term Outcomes: A 30-Year Population-Based Analysis.
To perform a population-based study of pituitary adenoma epidemiology, including longitudinal trends in disease incidence, treatment patterns, and outcomes. ⋯ Pituitary adenoma is a highly incident disease, with prolactin-secreting and incidental lesions representing the majority of tumors. Incidence rates and asymptomatic detection appear to be increasing over time. Presenting symptoms and treatment pathways are variable; however, most patients achieve favorable outcomes with observation or a single treatment modality.

Echocardiography-Based Cardiac Structure Parameters for the Long-term Risk of End-Stage Kidney Disease in Black Individuals: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study.
To assess whether echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular (LV) structure and function relate to the long-term risk of incident end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). ⋯ In Black individuals residing in the community, echocardiographic parameters of LV structure, including LV wall thickness, were robustly associated with the risk of subsequently incident ESKD. These results have potential implications for novel prevention and management strategies for persons with abnormal LV structure.

Indigenous Smoking Behaviors in Olmsted County, Minnesota: A Longitudinal Population-Based Study.
To describe smoking behaviors and pharmaceutical cessation aid uptake in a population-based Indigenous cohort compared with an age- and sex-matched non-Indigenous cohort. ⋯ Smoking in this Indigenous cohort was more prevalent compared with a sex- and age-matched non-Indigenous cohort despite more smoking cessation events and higher use of smoking cessation aids in the Indigenous cohort. The relapse rate after achieving cessation in the Indigenous cohort was more than three times higher than the non-Indigenous cohort. This finding has not been previously described and represents a potential target for relapse prevention efforts in US Indigenous populations.
