Abstract
AIMS Sinonasal teratocarcinosarcomas (SNTCS) are rare sinonasal malignancies, the incidence of which is less than 1% of all tumors. There is limited data available on SNTCS's, often as case reports and small case series. The management of SNTCS is complicated because of its location, locally aggressive biology, difficulty in achieving complete resection, and limited data on chemotherapy in these malignancies. This audit was performed to understand the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) in SNTCS's, its ability to downstage the disease, achieve complete resection, and impact on long-term survival outcomes. METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC). The baseline characteristics, the extent of tumor, Kadish stage, NACT regimen, and adverse events were extracted from the Electronic Medical Records and the patient's case file. Patients with baseline extensive/inoperable disease were referred for NACT from the multidisciplinary joint clinic followed by response assessment (RECIST v1.1). Patients underwent skull-base surgery if respectable post-completion of NACT, however, if deemed unresectable were treated with non-surgical modalities or palliative therapies. RESULTS The data of 27 patients were evaluated from the year 2015-2022. The median age was 42 years (IQR:30-56) and 85.2% (n = 23) were males. The ECOG-PS was 0-1 in 88.8% (n = 24) patients. All 27 patients received NACT in view of extensive disease at presentation. 74.1% (n = 20) patients received Cisplatin-Etoposide and 25.9% (n = 7) received other chemotherapy regimens. The median number of chemotherapy cycles was 2(IQR:2-3). 96.3% patients (n = 26) completed the planned NACT cycles. 70.4% (n = 19) patients achieved a partial response in post-NACT imaging. 77.8% (n = 18) underwent surgery, 18.5% (n = 5) received CTRT, and 7.4% (n = 2) received definitive-RT alone. The median PFS and OS of the cohort was 19months (95%CI:12.0-25.6) and 23months (95%CI:5.94-40.06) respectively. CONCLUSION NACT is safe, feasible, and effective with significant response rates, leading to effective downstaging, resectability and improved survival in patients with locally advanced SNTCS's.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia (LCAH) is caused by mutations in STAR. A systematic review of phenotype-genotype correlation and data on testicular histology in LCAH patients is unavailable. We aim to describe our experience and provide phenotype-genotype correlation. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Retrospective review of three genetically proven LCAH patients from our centre and per-patient data analysis from a systematic review of 292 probands. The phenotypic subgroups of 46,XY were Group A (typical female genitalia), Group B (atypical genitalia) and Group C (typical male genitalia). RESULTS We report three new LCAH probands from India, all diagnosed post-infancy with preserved gonadal function and one novel variant. The systematic review reports 46,XY to 46,XX LCAH ratio of 1.1 (155:140). Patients with 46,XY LCAH in Group A were diagnosed in infancy (116/117) and had higher mineralocorticoid involvement than Group C (96.4% vs. 75%, p = 0.035), whereas Group C had preserved gonadal function. Hyperplastic adrenals are noted in ~60% of LCAH diagnosed with primary adrenal insufficiency in infancy. There was no report of gonadal germ cell cancer and rare reports of germ cell neoplasia in situ in adolescents, especially with intraabdominal gonads. Two-thirds of LCAH probands were East-Asian and 11/16 regional recurrent variants were from East Asia. There was minimal overlap between variants in Groups A (n = 55), B (n = 9) and C (n = 8). All nonsense and frameshift and most of the splice-site variants and deletion/insertions were present in Group A. CONCLUSIONS We report three new cases of LCAH from India. We propose a phenotype-derived genotypic classification of reported STAR variants in 46,XY LCAH.

Abstract
Tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) is rare paraneoplastic syndrome of hypophosphatemic osteomalacia, caused by phosphaturic factors secreted by small mesenchymal origin tumors with distinct pathological features, called 'phosphaturic mesenchymal tumors'. FGF23 is the most well-characterized of the phosphaturic factors. Tumors are often small and located anywhere in the body from head to toe, which makes the localisation challenging. Functional imaging by somatostatin receptor-based PET imaging is the first line investigation, which should be followed with CT or MRI based anatomical imaging. Once localised, complete surgical excision is the treatment of choice, which brings dramatic resolution of symptoms. Medical management in the form of phosphate and active vitamin D supplements is given as a bridge to surgical management or in inoperable/non-localised patients. This review provides an overview of the epidemiology, pathophysiology, pathology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of TIO, including the recent advances and directions for future research in this field.

Abstract
Context Data on the overnight 1 mg-dexamethasone suppression test (ONDST) in renal dysfunction are limited. Objective We aim to determine the normative range of ONDST cortisol across chronic kidney disease (CKD) stages and reasons for its alteration. Methods Prospectively, 180 CKD (30 each in G2-G5/5D) patients and 30 healthy controls underwent ONDST 8 Am serum cortisol (chemiluminescent immunoassay [CLIA]). In an exploratory cohort, 45 (15 each: G3b/G4, G5/G5D, and healthy controls) individuals' blood biochemistry for basal (8 Am) cortisol and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), post-ONDST 8 Am dexamethasone, ACTH, cortisol (CLIA and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry), and 4 Pm cortisol was collected. Results Post-ONDST cortisol (µg/dL) correlated inversely (r = 0.47; P < .005) with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (mL/min/1.73 m2), with 95th percentile being 1.2 in controls, 3.0 in G2, 3.2 in G3a, 4.3 in G3b, 4.7 in G4, 5.7 in G5, and 7.1 in G5D. In the exploratory cohort, basal 8 Am cortisol and ACTH, and post-ONDST dexamethasone were similar among controls and CKD subgroups. ONDST ACTH (for evaluating the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis) was slightly higher in G5/5D vs controls (8.9 vs 6.1 pg/mL), while it was similar in G3b/G4 vs controls. Median 8 Am ONDST cortisol was similar on CLIA and LC-MS/MS in controls and higher on CLIA in G3b/4 (1.7 vs 1.1 µg/dL; P = .012) and G5/5D (2.4 vs 1.7 µg/dL; P = .002) than LC-MS/MS. Post-ONDST serum cortisol drop from 8 Am to 4 Pm was significant in controls (0.5-<0.2 µg/dL) and G3b/4 (1.7-1.2 µg/dL), but not in G5/5D (2.4-2.2 µg/dL). Conclusion The normative data of ONDST serum cortisol with eGFR-based cutoffs are useful in evaluating Cushing syndrome in CKD. Prolonged cortisol half-life and immunoassay-related assay cross-reaction are likely contributors to higher ONDST cortisol.

Abstract
Objective Data regarding rare FPAs from India, a resource limited setting, are limited. We describe a case series of rare FPAs from a single center in western India. Materials and methods This was a retrospective case record review of patients diagnosed between January 2010 and July 2022. The diagnosis was based on biochemical(inappropriately elevated serum FSH/LH) and pathologic (positive immunostaining for FSH/LH) features in patients with FGA, and elevated serum thyroid hormones and normal/elevated TSH in patients with TSHomas. Results We identified 11 patients with a total of six FGAs (median age 43.5 years, five men, one FGA cosecreting TSH, median largest dimension 40 mm, range 33-60 mm) and six TSHomas (median age 34.5 years, four women, two TSHomas cosecreting GH, median largest dimension 42.5 mm, range 13-60 mm). Symptoms of sellar mass effects led to pituitary imaging in most patients with FGA. Patients with TSHomas had symptoms of excess hormone secretion (GH/TSH) or sellar mass effects. The TSHomas that cosecreted GH/FSH were larger than those secreting only TSH. Transsphenoidal resection was the most common first-line therapy but significant residual disease was frequent (3 out of 6 FGAs and 4 out of 5 TSHomas). Conclusion This is the first and second case series of FGAs and TSHomas, respectively, from India. In this study, TSHomas presented at younger age, were larger andhad low surgical cure rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate treatment outcomes of children diagnosed with unilateral retinoblastoma. MATERIALS/METHODS Retrospective study of children diagnosed with unilateral retinoblastoma registered at the Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), Mumbai from January 2013 to December 2018 and completed the planned curative treatment protocol. RESULTS For the 98 cases that were analyzed, the median age of presentation was 24 months. The majority of patients had the intraocular disease (n = 72), whereas orbital retinoblastoma was in 26 patients. At the time of presentation, on imaging extra scleral spread was observed in 16 patients whereas 18 patients had optic nerve involvement, 11 patients had both extra scleral invasion and optic nerve involvement. We used the International Classification of Retinoblastoma for grouping. Out of 98 patients, 71 patients were in Group E, 21 were in Group D and 4 were in Group B and 2 were in Group C. For Staging of Retinoblastoma, we used International Retinoblastoma Staging System (IRSS) in our study and 14 patients had Stage 0 disease, 52 patients had Stage I disease, 10 patients had Stage II, 21 patients had Stage III A and 1 patient had Stage III B disease. High-risk features on surgical specimen histopathology were optic nerve cut margin positive in 6 patients, optic nerve involvement in 21 patients, extra scleral spread in 3 patients, Choroidal invasion in 38 and Iris involvement in 10 patients. Primary enucleation was offered in 52 patients whereas 26 patients underwent secondary enucleation. Systemic chemotherapy was received by the patient in the neoadjuvant setting in 17 patients as a form of chemo-reduction and 51 patients received systemic chemotherapy in the adjuvant setting. Intra-arterial chemotherapy was offered to 27 patients as a primary treatment or in conjugation with focal therapy (n = 11). Definitive radiotherapy was offered to only 2 patients and 22 patients received adjuvant radiotherapy. At a median follow-up of 62 months, 2patients had local relapse, which was salvaged by focal therapy in one and enucleation in the other. Ten patients who had leptomeningeal relapse had died. The 5-year local control (LC) is 97.6%, event-free survival (EFS) is 88% and overall survival (OS) is 89.5%. Globe was salvaged in only 16 cases. On univariate analysis, we observed a significant association between overall survival and extraocular and intraocular disease (p-value 0.0), Extra scleral spread (p-value 0.0), optic Nerve involvement (imaging), and an optic nerve cut margin positive (p-value 0.045), ICRB Groups (p-value 0.0) and IRSS stage (p- value 0.024). CONCLUSION Retinoblastoma is curable if detected early. Extra ocular disease and high-risk features are associated with inferior outcomes and poor globe salvage rates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is increasing concern regarding efficacy of organ preservation protocol in laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers. METHOD This study retrospectively assessed disease-related and functional outcomes of 191 patients with non-metastatic laryngeal or hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma treated with curative intent (radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy). RESULTS Seventy-six patients (39.8 per cent) had a primary cancer in the larynx, and 115 patients (60.2 per cent) had a primary cancer in the hypopharynx. The median follow up was 39 months. The 3-year time to progression, overall survival, local control and laryngectomy free survival was 56.2 per cent, 76.3 per cent, 73.2 per cent and 67.2 per cent, respectively. At the time of analysis, 83 patients (43.5 per cent) were alive and disease free at their last follow up and did not require tube feeding or tracheostomy. The laryngo-oesophageal dysfunction-free survival was 61 per cent at 3 years. CONCLUSION Organ conservation protocols remain the standard of treatment in appropriately selected patients with laryngeal and hypopharyngeal cancers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe the characteristics of gonadotropin-dependent precocious puberty (GDPP) in Indian children. METHODS Clinical profiles of GDPP (n=78, 61 females) and premature thelarche (n=12) from a single center in Western India were retrospectively studied. RESULTS Pubertal onset was earlier in boys than girls (29 vs 75 months, respectively; P=0.008). The basal luteinizing hormone (LH) was ≥0.3 mIU/mL, except 18% of GDPP girls. At 60 minutes after GnRHa-stimulation, all patients (except one girl) had LH ≥5 mIU/mL. The GnRHa-stimulated LH/FSH ratio was ≥0.34 at 60 minutes in girls with GDPP unlike premature thelarche. Only one girl had an allergic reaction to long-acting GnRH agonist. Among GnRH agonist-treated girls (n=24), the predicted final adult height was -1.67±1.5 SDS, whereas the attained final height was -0.25±1.48 SDS. CONCLUSION We establish the safety and efficacy of long acting GnRH agonist therapy in Indian children with GDPP. The 60-minute stimulated serum LH/FSH of ≥0.34 differentiated GDPP from premature thelarche.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Childhood and adolescent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a rare disease caused by single adenomas in 65-94% of patients. In this patient group, there is no data on computed tomography (CT) for pre-operative parathyroid localization that may facilitate focused parathyroidectomy. METHODS Two radiologists reviewed dual-phase (nonenhanced and arterial) CT images of twenty-three operated children and adolescents [20:single-gland disease(SGD), 3:multi-glandular disease(MGD)] with proven histopathological PHPT. Percentage arterial enhancement (PAE) was calculated as [100*{arterial-phase Hounsfield unit (HU)-nonenhanced phase HU}/nonenhanced HU] of the parathyroid lesion(s), thyroid, and lymph node. RESULTS Dual-phase CT lateralized 100%, localized to the correct quadrant/site 85% SGD (including 3/3 ectopic), and identified 1/3 MGD. PAE (cutoff ≥ 112.3%) was sensitive (91.3%) and specific (99.5%) in distinguishing parathyroid lesions from local mimics (P<0.001). The average effective dose was 3.16±1.01mSv, comparable to the planar/single photon emission CT (SPECT) Technetium 99m(Tc)-sestamibi and choline positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans. Solid-cystic morphology identified in 4 patients harboring pathogenic germline variants (3:CDC73, 1:CASR) may serve as a radiological clue to molecular diagnosis. Nineteen out of 20 (95%) patients with SGD who had undergone single gland resection based on pre-operative CT findings were in remission over a median follow-up of 18 months. CONCLUSION As most children/adolescents with PHPT have SGD, dual-phase CT protocols which reduce the effective radiation dose with high localization sensitivity for single parathyroid lesions may be a sustainable pre-operative imaging modality in this patient group.

Abstract
Increased survival (due to the use of targeted therapies based on genomic profiling) has resulted in the increased incidence of brain metastasis during the course of disease, and thus, made it essential to have proper imaging guidelines in place for brain metastasis from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Brain parenchymal metastases can have varied imaging appearances, and it is pertinent to be aware of the various molecular risk factors for brain metastasis from NSCLC along with their suggestive imaging appearances, so as to identify them early. Leptomeningeal metastasis requires additional imaging of the spine and an early cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis. Differentiation of post-therapy change from recurrence on imaging has a bearing on the management, hence the need for its awareness. This article will provide in-depth literature review of the epidemiology, aetiopathogenesis, screening, detection, diagnosis, post-therapy imaging, and implications regarding the management of brain metastasis from NSCLC. In addition, we will also briefly highlight the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in brain metastasis screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE P450 side-chain cleavage deficiency (SCCD) patients present with primary adrenal insufficiency (PAI) with or without undervirilized external genitalia. The distinction between classic and nonclassic steroidogenic acute regulatory protein deficiency has been described, whereas in SCCD is unclear. The data on gonadal function and its correlation with SCCD genotype has not been studied. We describe our experience and perform a systematic review of genetically proven SCCD patients to determine the distinct phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of 46,XY SCCD patients with typical male external genitalia (SCCD-TMG) and atypical (SCCD-AG) external genitalia. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Retrospective review of three genetically proven SCCD patients from our centre and per-patient data analysis from a systematic review of 52 probands was performed. SCCD-TMG (n = 19) was defined as external genitalia of Sinnecker score 1 with 46,XY karyotype; the rest (Sinnecker 2-5) were classified as SCCD-AG (n = 15). RESULTS We report two new Indian cases of SCCD with three novel likely pathogenic variants and pubertal follow-up of a previously reported patient. In systematic review, age at diagnosis of PAI and elevated renin were not different between 46,XY SCCD-TMG (n = 19) and SCCD-AG (n = 15), whereas spontaneous puberty (9/9 vs. 0/3, p = .0045), normal prepubertal (5/5 vs. 6/6, p = .002), pubertal gonadotropins (2/9 vs. 0/3, p = 1) and normal pubertal testosterone (9/11 vs. 0/3, p = .027) were more common in SCCD-TMG. Testicular adrenal rest tumours were exclusive to SCCD-TMG (n = 4). SCCD-TMG was associated with four particular genotypes [monoallelic p.Glu314Lys with another deleterious variant on the second allele (p.Glu314Lys/X-CHS: X-compound heterozygous state), biallelic p.Arg451Trp, p.Phe215Ser/p.Arg232Ter and monoallelic p.Val79Ile]. 46,XX SCCD patients with p.Glu314Lys/X-CHS also had normal gonadotropins with spontaneous puberty. CONCLUSION SCCD-TMG is associated with four specific genotypes and distinct gonadal characteristics from SCCD-AG with overlapping features of PAI.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The long-term renal consequences of curative parathyroidectomy (PTX) in symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) are not well characterized. We aimed to assess renal glomerular and tubular functions in an sPHPT cohort at ≥1 year's follow-up. DESIGN Retrospective-prospective study. METHODS sPHPT patients with preoperative eGFR ≥60mL/min/1.73m2 and in remission (normocalcemic) for ≥1 year after PTX underwent clinical and biochemical assessment (calcium profile, renal parameters). Ammonium chloride and bicarbonate loading tests were performed in patients with renal tubular dysfunction (RTD). RESULTS Forty-eight patients (31 females) with median plasma PTH 1,029 (338-1604) pg/mL and mean eGFR 109.2±26.0mL/min/1.73m2 at diagnosis were evaluated at 5.62±3.66 years after curative PTX. At follow-up, eGFR was <60mL/min/m2 in 5 patients (10.4%). Patients with >10% drop in eGFR (n=31) had significantly higher pre-PTX plasma PTH (1,137 vs. 687pg/mL), and longer time to post-PTX evaluation (6.8 vs. 3.4 years). RTD was seen in 11 patients (22.9%): urinary low molecular weight proteinuria (14.6%), distal renal tubular acidosis (12.5%), hypophosphatemia (8.3%), and hypokalemia (8.3%); RTD was associated with significantly lower post-PTX eGFR (72.7 vs. 95.4mL/min/m2). Five of the 7 RTD patients undergoing loading test had impaired urinary acidification, whereas none had impaired bicarbonate resorption. CONCLUSIONS Reduction in eGFR and subclinical RTD were prevalent at long-term follow-up in the present Asian-Indian cohort with cured sPHPT. Further studies are warranted to understand the clinical implications of these various renal abnormalities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Swine influenza A viruses (SwIAVs) pose an economic and pandemic threat, and development of novel effective vaccines is of critical significance. We evaluated the performance of split swine influenza A virus (SwIAV) H1N2 antigens with a plant-derived nanoparticle adjuvant alone (Nano-11) [Nano11-SwIAV] or in combination with the synthetic stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist ADU-S100 (NanoS100-SwIAV). Specific pathogen free (SPF) pigs were vaccinated twice via intramuscular (IM) or intradermal (ID) routes and challenged with a virulent heterologous SwIAV H1N1-OH7 virus. RESULTS Animals vaccinated IM or ID with NanoS100-SwIAV had significantly increased cross-reactive IgG and IgA titers in serum, nasal secretion and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid at day post challenge 6 (DPC6). Furthermore, NanoS100-SwIAV ID vaccinates, even at half the vaccine dose compared to their IM vaccinated counterparts, had significantly increased frequencies of CXCL10+ myeloid cells in the tracheobronchial lymph nodes (TBLN), and IFNγ+ effector memory T-helper/memory cells, IL-17A+ total T-helper/memory cells, central and effector memory T-helper/memory cells, IL-17A+ total cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs), and early effector CTLs in blood compared with the Nano11-SwIAV group demonstrating a potential dose-sparing effect and induction of a strong IL-17A+ T-helper/memory (Th17) response in the periphery. However, the frequencies of IFNγ+ late effector CTLs and effector memory T-helper/memory cells, IL-17A+ total CTLs, late effector CTLs, and CXCL10+ myeloid cells in blood, as well as lung CXCL10+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells were increased in NanoS100-SwIAV IM vaccinated pigs. Increased expression of IL-4 and IL-6 mRNA was observed in TBLN of Nano-11 based IM vaccinates following challenge. Furthermore, the challenge virus load in the lungs and nasal passage was undetectable in NanoS100-SwIAV IM vaccinates by DPC6 along with reduced macroscopic lung lesions and significantly higher virus neutralization titers in lungs at DPC6. However, NanoS100-SwIAV ID vaccinates exhibited significant reduction of challenge virus titers in nasal passages and a remarkable reduction of challenge virus in lungs. CONCLUSIONS Despite vast genetic difference (77% HA gene identity) between the H1N2 and H1N1 SwIAV, the NanoS100 adjuvanted vaccine elicited cross protective cell mediated immune responses, suggesting the potential role of this combination adjuvant in inducing cross-protective immunity in pigs.

Abstract
Childhood and adolescent primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a very rare disease. Data on its molecular genetics are scarce. We performed a retrospective analysis (January 2000-January 2021) to determine the deleterious germline variants and genotype-phenotype correlations in children and adolescents < 20 years diagnosed with PHPT from a single referral center. Clinical features, biochemistry, imaging, management, and genetics (clinical exome analyzed for 11 PHPT and 7 pancreatitis-associated genes, MLPA for CDC73) were recorded. Thirty-six patients (20 males; median age 17 years) were classified into those with familial and/or syndromic (F/S) or apparently sporadic (AS) presentation. Sixteen (44.4%) harbored pathogenic/likely pathogenic germline variants in PHPT-associated genes. The genetic yield in F/S group was 90% (MEN1:8/10; CDC73:1/10), and AS group was 26.9% (CDC73:4/26; CASR:3/26). F/S group had frequent asymptomatic presentation (60% vs none; P < 0.001), lower serum PTH (237.5 vs 1369.1 pg/mL; P = 0.001), and maximum parathyroid dimension (0.9 vs 2.2 cm; P = 0.01) than AS group. Among the AS group, renal involvement was higher in those with molecular diagnoses (71.4% vs 10.5%; P = 0.01). All those with novel CASR variants (including one homozygous) had hypercalciuria and histology-proven parathyroid adenoma/carcinoma. A missense CTRC VUS occurred in one patient with chronic pancreatitis. In summary, Asian Indian children and adolescents with PHPT have high genetic yield, even with apparently sporadic presentation. The phenotypic spectrum of CASR variants is expanded to include childhood/adolescent PHPT with hypercalciuria and single gland neoplasia. The proposed roles for renal involvement to predict molecular diagnosis among those with apparently sporadic presentation require further elucidation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe Asian Indian patients with 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 (17βHSD3) deficiency and to perform a systematic review to determine the factors influencing gender role in 46,XY disorder of sex development (DSD) due to 17βHSD3 deficiency. PATIENTS AND DESIGN We present the phenotypic and genotypic data of 10 patients (9 probands and 1 affected family member) with 17βHSD3 deficiency from our 46,XY DSD cohort (N = 150; Western India) and a systematic review of 152 probands with genetically proven, index 17βHSD3 deficiency patients from the world literature to identify the determinants of gender role. RESULTS 17βHSD3 deficiency was the third most common (6%) cause of non-dysgenetic 46,XY DSD in our cohort. Five patients each had prepubertal (atypical genitalia) and pubertal (primary amenorrhoea) presentations. Six patients were initially reared as female of whom two (one each in prepubertal and pubertal age) changed their gender role. Ten pathogenic molecular variants (six novel) were observed. In the systematic review, initial male sex of rearing was uncommon (10.5%) and was associated with atypical genitalia, higher testosterone/androstenedione (T/A) ratio and Asian origin. Gender role change to male was seen in 10.3% of patients with initial female sex of rearing and was associated with Asian origin but unrelated to pubertal androgens or molecular variant severity. It has not been reported in patients of European origin. CONCLUSIONS We report the first Indian case series of 17βHSD3 deficiency, the third most common cause of 46,XY DSD, with six novel molecular variants. Distinct geographical differences in the frequency of initial male sex of rearing and gender role change to male in those initially reared as females in 17βHSD3 deficiency were noted which needs further evaluation for the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and hypertension commonly coexist; however, underlying primary aldosteronism (PA) can lead to worsening of hypertension, glycemia and cardiovascular risk. We aim to screen patients with T2DM and hypertension for PA by conducting a prospective monocentric study from Western India, which included adults with T2DM and hypertension from the outpatient diabetes clinic. DESIGN Prospective study. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Patients with an aldosterone renin ratio of ≥1.6 ng/dl/µIU/ml with plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) ≥ 10 ng/dl were considered to be positive on a screening test. A PAC ≥ 6 ng/dl on seated saline suppression test (SST) was used to confirm the diagnosis of PA. RESULTS Four hundred and eighty-six patients were included in this study. Seventy-six (15.6%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 12.7%-19.1%) patients had a positive screening test with positive confirmatory test in 20 of the 36 (55.5%, 95% CI: 39.3%-71.7%) screen-positive patients who underwent SST. Patients with positive screening test had a higher proportion of females (65.8% vs. 50%; p = .011), frequent history of hypertensive crises (21.1% vs. 8%; p = .001), uncontrolled blood pressure (51.3% vs. 34.6%; p = .006), diagnosis of hypertension before diabetes (32.9% vs. 21.7%; p = .035) and higher systolic (137.6 ± 6.9 vs. 131.2 ± 17.8 mmHg; p = .004) and diastolic (85.3 ± 11.1 vs. 81.7 ± 10.7 mmHg; p = .007) blood pressures. Patients with positive confirmatory test had longer duration of diabetes (108 [60-162] vs. 42 [24-87] months; p = .012), hypertension (84 [42-153] vs. 36 [15-81] months; p = .038) and higher creatinine (1.16 [1.02-1.42] vs. 0.95 [0.84-1.12] mg/dl; p = .021). CONCLUSIONS PA is prevalent (at least 4.1%) in Asian Indian patients with T2DM and hypertension. Further studies are needed to assess the cost-effectiveness of routine screening.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Literature regarding utility of 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in insulinoma localization across various subgroups [benign/malignant/multiple endocrine neoplasia-1 (MEN-1) syndrome associated] remains scarce. In this study, the performance of 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was compared with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and 68 Ga-NODAGA-Exendin-4 PET/CT (whenever available) in an endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (EHH) cohort. DESIGN Retrospective audit. PATIENTS EHH patients [N = 36, lesions (n) = 49, final diagnosis: benign sporadic insulinoma (BSI) (N = 20), malignant insulinoma (N = 4, n = 14), MEN-1 syndrome associated insulinoma (N = 9, n = 15), Munchausen syndrome (N = 2) and drug-induced hypoglycemia (N = 1)] having both preoperative imaging modalities (CECT and 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT). MEASUREMENTS Per-lesion sensitivity (Sn) and positive predictive value (PPV) for histopathological diagnosis of insulinoma. RESULTS Sn and PPV of 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT were 67.3% and 89.2%; 55% and 100%; 85.7% and 100%; and 66.7% and 77% for overall EHH, BSI, malignant, and MEN-1 syndrome associated insulinoma cohorts respectively. Despite having comparatively lower sensitivity in BSI cohort, 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT localized a pancreatic tail lesion missed by other modalities. 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT had comparatively higher sensitivity in malignant insulinoma than BSI cohort. 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT also paved the way for successful response to 177 Lu-based peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT). In MEN-1 cases, lower PPV as compared with BSI was due to uptake in non-insulinoma pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours (Pan-NET). CONCLUSIONS 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT has supplemental role in selected cases of BSI with negative and/or discordant results with CECT and 68 Ga-NODAGA-Exendin-4 PET/CT. In malignant insulinoma, 68 Ga-DOTATATE-PET/CT has an additional theranostic potential. Interference due to uptake in non-insulinoma Pan-NET in MEN-1 syndrome may hinder insulinoma localization with 68 Ga-DOTATATE-PET/CT.

Abstract
UNLABELLED To describe the differences in presentation, biochemistry, and radiological evaluation of various etiologies of adrenal Cushing's syndrome (CS) from a single center. To emphasize caution for interpretation of plasma adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), as a spuriously unsuppressed ACTH level by immunometric assay may lead to therapeutic misadventures in adrenal CS. DESIGN Retrospective, single-center, observational study. METHODS Fifty-eight adrenal CS patients [Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC), n=30; Adenoma (ACA), n=15; Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD), n=10; ACTH independent macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (AIMAH), n=3) evaluated at a tertiary care center in western India between January 2006 to March 2020 were included. Data on demography, clinical evaluation, biochemistry, imaging, management, histopathology, and outcome were recorded in a standard format and analyzed. RESULTS Cortisol secreting ACC presented at 38(1-50) years with abdominal mass in 26/30 (86.7%) and 16/30 (53.3%) had metastases at presentation. ACA with autonomous cortisol excess presented at 25(4.9-40) years with discriminating features of CS in 14/15 (93.3%), sex steroid production in 2/15, unenhanced HU <10 in only one, and relative washout >40% in 8/11 (72.7%). One ACA and eight ACC patients had plasma ACTH (by Siemens Immulite assay) > 20 pg/ml, despite hypercortisolemic state. CONCLUSIONS Cortisol-secreting ACC and ACA most often present with mass effects and florid CS, respectively. Baseline HU has low sensitivity to differentiate cortisol-secreting ACA from ACC. Plasma ACTH measured by Seimens Immulite is often unsuppressed, especially in ACC patients, which can be addressed by measuring ACTH by more accurate assays.

Abstract
Context There are more than 100 pathogenic variants in CYP17A1 that have been identified in patients with 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase deficiency (17OHD). Objective We aimed to describe 46,XY patients with 17OHD from our center and review the literature. Methods We retrospectively analyzed genetically proven index cases of 17OHD from our 46,XY disorders of sex development cohort and reviewed similar cases from the literature (n = 150). Based on the phenotype, 17OHD probands were classified into combined severe deficiency (n = 128) and combined partial deficiency (n = 16). Additionally, patients with the apparent isolated 17,20-lyase deficiency (n = 7, from 6 families) were noted. Residual enzyme activities with the observed mutant enzymes were divided in 2 categories as < 1% and ≥ 1%, each for hydroxylase and lyase. Results We present 4 index cases of 46,XY 17OHD with a complete spectrum of undervirilization and 2 novel variants in CYP17A1. In the review, the combined severe deficiency was the most common form, with more frequent female sex of rearing, hypertension, hypokalemia, suppressed renin, higher plasma corticotropin, lower serum cortisol, and androgens. Immunoassay-measured serum aldosterone was frequently (68.2%) unsuppressed (>5 ng/dL). Elevated serum progesterone had high sensitivity for diagnosis of combined 17OHD, even in combined partial deficiency (83.3%). Among patients with clinical phenotype of combined severe deficiency, 11.5% had partial 17α-hydroxylase and complete 17,20-lyase deficiency (>1%/<1%) and had significantly higher serum cortisol than those with < 1%/<1% activity. Conclusion We report the first monocentric case series of Asian Indian 46,XY patients with 17OHD. We propose that a phenotype of severe undervirilization with milder cortisol deficiency may represent a distinct subtype of combined severe 17OHD with residual 17α-hydroxylase activity but severe 17,20-lyase deficiency (>1%/<1%), which needs further validation.

Abstract
AIMS To prospectively examine the outcomes, toxicity and quality of life (QoL) of patients with post-cricoid and upper oesophagus (PCUE) cancers treated with an organ-preservation approach of (chemo)-radiotherapy using intensity-modulated image-guided radiotherapy (IM-IGRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS This phase II prospective study was conducted at a tertiary cancer centre from February 2017 to January 2020. Forty patients with squamous cell carcinoma of PCUE of stage T1-3, N0-2, M0 were accrued. Gross exolaryngeal extension/dysfunctional larynx were major exclusion criteria. Patients received 63-66 Gy in once-daily fractions using volumetric modulated arc therapy with daily IGRT. Outcome measures included disease-related outcomes, patterns of failure, Radiation Therapy Oncology Group toxicities, feeding tube dependency and QoL. RESULTS The median follow-up was 22 months. Twenty-six (87.5%) patients had locoregionally advanced disease and 34 (85%) patients received (chemo)-radiotherapy. A complete response was observed in 26 (65%) patients. The 2-year locoregional control, event-free survival and cause-specific survival were 59.6%, 40.2% and 44.8%, respectively. The volume of primary tumour (GTVPvol) exceeding 28 cm3 had inferior overall survival (P = 0.005) on univariate analysis. Multivariable analysis showed GTVPvol and positron emission tomography-computed tomography maximum standardised uptake value to be independently predictive for event-free and overall survival. A feeding tube requirement at presentation was seen in 11 (27.5%) patients, whereas long-term feeding tube dependency at 6 months was seen in 10 (37%) patients. For QoL, a statistical improvement in pain, appetite loss and swallowing was observed over time. CONCLUSION Although the outcomes of PCUE cancers remain dismal, the use of state of the art diagnostic modalities, careful case selection and modern radiotherapy techniques improved outcomes as compared with before in this exclusive analysis of PCUE cancers.

Abstract
The data on the congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) in Asian Indian patients is limited. Diazoxide is often unavailable in India, which poses challenge in managing CHI. The study was aimed to present our experience with CHI with a special focus on the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of octreotide long-acting release (OCT-LAR) among diazoxide-responsive CHI. The data of 14 index cases with CHI registered at our center were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis of CHI was based on elevated serum insulin (3.4-32.5 μIU/ml) and C-peptide (0.58-1.98 ng/ml) at the time of symptomatic hypoglycemia (BG≤41 mg/dl). Fourteen patients (13 males) presented at a median (range) age of 3 (1-270) days, seizures being the most common mode of presentation (78.6%). Ten patients were diazoxide-responsive, two were partially responsive, while two were unresponsive. Genetics was available for eight patients; ABCC8 (n=3, 1 novel) and HADH (n=2, both novel) were the most commonly mutated genes. OCT-LAR was offered to eight patients including four with diazoxide-responsive disease and was universally effective. We propose a cost-effective approach to use OCT-LAR in the management of CHI, which may also make it more cost-effective than diazoxide for diazoxide-responsive disease. Five of the 11 (45.5%) patients had evidence of neurological impairment; notably, two patients with HADH mutations had intellectual disability despite diazoxide-responsiveness. We report three novel mutations in CHI-associated genes. We demonstrate the effectiveness of and propose a cost-effective approach to use OCT-LAR in diazoxide-responsive CHI. Mutations in HADH may be associated with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes despite diazoxide-responsiveness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1 R) based imaging has shown higher sensitivity for insulinoma localization as compared to other anatomic/functional imaging. METHODOLOGY We reviewed the published English literature for GLP-1 R targeted imaging in insulinoma in PubMed until August 2020 in accordance with PRISMA guidelines using the MeSH terms "((Exendin-4 PET/CT) OR (Exendin-4 SPECT/CT) OR (GLP-1 R imaging)) AND (Insulinoma)". An individual patient data-metanalysis (IPD-MA) was performed, and performance parameters were calculated for the histopathological diagnosis of insulinoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES True-positive (TP), false-positive (FP), false-negative (FN), true-negative (TN), sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) for insulinoma localization. RESULTS A total of 179 cases (316 lesions) from 16 publications were included for IPD-MA. For insulinoma localization, exendin-4-PET/CT (Sn & PPV: 94%) performed better than exendin-4-SPECT/CT (Sn: 63%, PPV: 94%). The Sn was lower in malignant insulinoma cases whereas the Sp was higher in cases with MEN-1 syndrome. With exendin-4-based imaging, FP uptakes in Brunner's gland, normal pancreas, and other β-cell pathologies and FN results in pancreatic tail lesions and malignancy were seen in a few patients. TN results suggested the correct diagnosis of other endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (EHH) subtypes. CONCLUSION For insulinoma localization, exendin-4 PET/CT should be preferred over exendin-4 SPECT/CT because of higher sensitivity and specificity. FP uptakes in Brunner's gland, normal pancreas, and other β-cell pathologies and FN results in tail lesions, and malignant insulinomas are limitations. Higher specificity for insulinoma localization is particularly useful in patients with MEN-1 syndrome.

Abstract
The study aimed to analyze clinical and hormonal phenotype,and genotype in patients with genetically proven androgen insensitivity syndrome (AIS) from Western India. Index patients with pathogenic variants in the androgen receptor (AR) gene were identified from a consecutive 46,XY DSD cohort (n = 150) evaluated with clinical exome sequencing, and their genetically-proven affected relatives were also included. In sum, 15 index cases (9 complete AIS [CAIS] and 6 partial AIS [PAIS]) were identified making AIS the second most common (10%) cause of 46,XY DSD, next to 5α-reductase 2 deficiency (n = 26; 17.3%). Most patients presented late in the postpubertal period with primary amenorrhoea in CAIS (89%) and atypical genitalia with gynecomastia in PAIS (71.4%). All CAIS were reared as females and 83.3% of PAIS as males with no gender dysphoria. Four of 6 patients with available testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio had a false elevation (>10). Metastatic dysgerminoma was seen in 1 patient in CAIS, while none in the PAIS group had malignancy. Fifteen different (including 6 novel) pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants in AR were found. Nonsense and frameshift variants exclusively led to CAIS phenotype, whereas missense variants led to variable phenotypes. In this largest, monocentric study from the Asian Indian subcontinent, AIS was the second most common cause of 46,XY DSD with similar phenotype but later presentation when compared to cases in the rest of the world. The study reports 6 novel pathogenic variants in AR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the effect of combined gonadotropin therapy (CGT) on testicular descent ± spermatogenesis in congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) patients with cryptorchidism beyond infancy. METHODS This retrospective cohort study included CHH patients with cryptorchidism [bilateral (n=5) or unilateral (n=1)] treated with CGT for testicular descent ± pubertal induction. All participants were treated with CGT [human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)] with hMG pretreatment in three and monitored for changes in testicular volume (TV), serum total testosterone (T), serum inhibin-B, and sperm concentration. RESULTS Complete testicular descent to the scrotal position was achieved in 5/6 patients (10/11 testes) after 4.7 ± 1.6 months of treatment. There was 44 ± 18%, 97.5% (IQR: 44-195), 10-fold (IQR: 3-19.6), and two-fold (IQR: 1.7-9.3) increase in stretched penile length, ultrasound measured TV, T level, and serum inhibin-B from baseline, respectively. In two pediatric cases, testicular descent occurred with isolated hMG therapy. At the last follow up (median: 23.5, IQR: 10.5-38.7 months), all the descended testes remained in scrotal position. In four pubertal/postpubertal age patients, continuous CGT (18-60 months) yielded T and inhibin-B levels of 16.64 ± 1.46 nmol/l and 106 ± 32.6 pg/mL, respectively. All the three patients with available semen analysis had sperm concentration of ≥5 million/mL and one of them achieved paternity. CONCLUSIONS A trial of CGT before orchiopexy may be considered in CHH males with cryptorchidism even beyond the narrow age-window of infancy. CGT may also have beneficial effects on future spermatogenesis and fertility outcomes in these patients.

Abstract
CONTEXT Preoperative blockade with α-blockers is recommended in patients with pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma (PPGL). The data on calcium channel blockade (CCB) in PPGL are scarce. OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare the efficacy of CCB and α-blockers on intraoperative hemodynamic instability (HDI) in PPGL. METHODS In the interim analysis of this monocentric, pilot, open-label, randomized controlled trial, patients with solitary, secretory, and nonmetastatic PPGL were randomized to oral prazosin gastrointestinal therapeutic system (GITS) (maximum 30 mg, n = 9) or amlodipine (maximum 20 mg, n = 11). The primary outcomes were the episodes and duration of hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥ 160 mmHg) and hypotension (mean arterial pressure < 60 mmHg) and duration of HDI (hypertension and/or hypotension) as a percentage of total surgical time (from induction of anesthesia to skin closure). RESULTS The median (IQR) episodes (2 [1-3] vs 0 [0-1]; P = 0.002) and duration of hypertension (19 [14-42] vs 0 [0-3] minutes; P = 0.001) and intraoperative HDI duration (22.85 ± 18.4% vs 2.44 ± 2.4%; CI, 8.68-32.14%; P 0.002) were significantly higher in the prazosin GITS arm than the amlodipine arm, whereas episodes and duration of hypotension did not differ between the 2 groups. There was no perioperative mortality. One patient had intraoperative ST depression on the electrocardiogram. The drug-related adverse effects were pedal edema (1 in amlodipine), dizziness (1 in prazosin GITS), and tachycardia (6 in prazosin GITS and 3 in amlodipine). CONCLUSION Preoperative blockade with amlodipine is an efficacious alternative to prazosin GITS in preventing intraoperative HDI in PPGL. Larger studies that compare preoperative blockade by amlodipine with other α-blockers like phenoxybenzamine and/or doxazosin in PPGL patients are warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of prior testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on the spermatogenic response to combined gonadotropin therapy (CGT) in severe and partial phenotype congenital hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (CHH) patients. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary care center. PATIENTS Patients of CHH without (n = 17) and with prior TRT (n = 18) were subdivided into severe and partial groups, based on mean testicular volume ≤ 3 cc and > 3 cc respectively. INTERVENTION Participants were treated with hMG at a dose of 75-150 U 3/week and gradually escalating doses of hCG until maximum dose (2000 U 3/week or 5000 U 2/week) or serum total testosterone of ≥ 3.5 ng/ml was reached. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Final mean TV, trough serum testosterone (T), sperm concentration RESULTS: Thirty-five patients (20 severe, baseline mean TV of 3.6 ± 2.7 ml) were started on CGT at 24.8 ± 6.1 years. The median duration of prior TRT was 38 (IQR 10-63.75) months in the exposed group. After 33 ± 12 months, final mean TV was 8.9 ± 5.5 ml, 86% achieved serum testosterone > 3.5 ng/ml and 70% achieved spermatogenesis [median 5 (0-12.6) million/ml]. Patients without prior TRT had significantly higher peak sperm count than those with prior- TRT (median 9 vs 0.05 million/ml, p = 0.004). This effect of prior TRT was more pronounced in severe phenotype patients (median 7 vs 0 million/ml, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Prior-TRT may interfere with spermatogenic response to CGT in CHH patients, especially in those with a severe phenotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report clinical, hormonal and structural effects of CYP11B1 pathogenic variations in Indian patients with 11β-hydroxylase deficiency (11βOHD) and find hormonal criteria that accurately distinguish 11βOHD from 21α-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD). DESIGN Retrospective record review of genetically diagnosed patients with 11βOHD. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Clinical features, hormonal parameters at diagnosis (by immunoassay) and recent follow-up of 13 genetically proven 11βOHD patients managed at our centre were retrospectively reviewed. ACTH-stimulated serum adrenal steroids (measured by LC-MS/MS) of 11βOHD were compared with those of simple virilizing and non-classic 21OHD. Structural analysis of the observed pathogenic variations was performed by computational modelling. RESULTS Nine (four females) and four (all females) patients had classic and non-classic disease, respectively. All 11βOHD patients had elevated ACTH-stimulated serum 11-deoxycortisol (26.5-342.7 nmol/L) whereas none had elevated serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (4.2-21.2 nmol/L); both hormonal parameters distinguished 11βOHD from 21OHD with 100% accuracy. ACTH-stimulated serum cortisol, but not 11-deoxycortisol, clearly distinguished classic (<70 nmol/L) from non-classic (>160 nmol/L) disease. Thirteen (eight novel, two recurrent) pathogenic variants were observed. Only missense mutations were observed among patients with non-classic disease. Computational modelling predicted the possible affection of enzyme structure and function for all the observed missense mutations. CONCLUSIONS This first Indian study describes 13 11βOHD patients, including four with the rarer non-classic variant. A total of eight novel pathogenic variants were identified in our study, highlighting regional genetic heterogeneity. Measurement of ACTH-stimulated adrenal steroids by LC-MS/MS will help avoid the misdiagnosis of 11βOHD as 21OHD and has potential to distinguish classic from non-classic 11βOHD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) requires preoperative prediction for appropriate surgical management. Differentiation from symptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (sPHPT) cohort is difficult. METHODS Patients with sPHPT from a tertiary-care center, Western India, including Cohort-A (n = 19 [10/M; 9/F]) with PC and Cohort-B (n = 93 [33/M; 60/F] with benign parathyroid lesions) were compared to derive predictors for differential diagnosis. RESULTS There were no differences in clinical or biochemical parameters between the two cohorts. Comparison of CECT parameters showed that irregular shape, tumor heterogeneity, infiltration, short/long-axis ratio >0.76, and long-diameter >30 mm had high negative-predictive value and intratumoral calcification had 100% positive-predictive value to diagnose PC; whereas there were no differences in contrast-enhancement patterns. Long diameter, short/long-axis ratio, and heterogeneity were significant predictors on multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION It is difficult to predict diagnosis of PC in an Indian sPHPT cohort based on clinical and biochemical parameters, whereas CECT parathyroid-based parameters can aid in diagnosis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report survival outcomes and identify prognostic factors of salvage re-irradiation (re-RT) in recurrent/progressive glioma. METHODS Medical records of patients treated with high-dose re-RT as part of multi-modality salvage therapy for recurrence/progression of adult diffuse glioma from 2010 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS A total of 111 patients developing recurrent/progressive high-grade glioma after adequate upfront treatment at initial diagnosis were included. The first course of radiotherapy (RT) had been delivered to a median dose of 59.4 Gy with an inter-quartile range (IQR) of 54-60 Gy. Median time to recurrence/progression was 4.3 years (IQR = 2.3-7.4 years) while the median time to re-RT was 4.8 years (IQR = 3.6-7.9 years). Re-RT was delivered with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using 1.8 Gy/fraction to a median dose of 54 Gy (IQR = 50.4-55.8 Gy) for a cumulative median equivalent dose in 2-Gy fractions (EQD2) of 104.3 Gy (IQR = 102.6-109.4 Gy). At a median follow-up of 14 months after re-RT, the 1-year Kaplan-Meier estimates of post-re-RT progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were 42.8 and 61.8%, respectively. Univariate analysis identified histological grade at recurrence/progression; histological subtype; disease-free interval (DFI) and time interval between both courses of RT; performance status at re-RT; dose at re-RT and cumulative EQD2; isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutation; and O6-methyl-guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) gene promoter methylation as significant prognostic factors. Preserved performance status, longer DFI, prolonged time interval between both courses of RT, and presence of IDH mutation were associated with significantly improved PFS on multi-variate analysis. However, only performance status retained independent prognostic significance for OS on multi-variate analysis. Post-treatment changes were seen in 33 (30%) patients on follow-up imaging, with higher cumulative dose (EQD2 ≥ 104.3 Gy) being associated with increased risk of post-re-RT pseudo-progression. CONCLUSION This clinical audit reports encouraging survival outcomes and identifies key prognostic factors associated with high-dose salvage re-RT in recurrent/progressive glioma.

Abstract
CONTEXT Insulinoma needs accurate preoperative localization for minimally invasive surgery. Exendin-4-based imaging has shown promising results. OBJECTIVE To evaluate performance parameters of exendin-4-based imaging in insulinoma localization and compare with other imaging modalities. DESIGN Retrospective cross-sectional study. PATIENTS We report 14 patients with endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycaemia (EHH) managed at our centre; in whom, the final diagnosis was insulinoma (n = 11), Munchausen syndrome (MS) (n = 2) and inconclusive (n = 1). Retrospective reporting of CECT, 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 68 Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4-PET/CT was done. With per-lesion analysis, performance parameters were calculated for the histopathological diagnosis of insulinoma. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES True positive (TP), false positive (FP), false negative (FN), true negative (TN), sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV) for insulinoma localization. RESULTS In our cohort, 12 histopathologically proven insulinoma lesions [(TP): 11 primary lesions, 1 metastasis] were detected in 11 patients, whereas two patients had MS (TN). Sn and PPV were 75% and 100%, 33.3% and 80% and 83.3% and 71.4% for CECT, 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and 68 Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4-PET/CT, respectively. With exendin-4-based imaging, FP uptake in normal pancreatic tissue and FN results in the pancreatic tail lesion was seen. In one patient, TN result suggested the correct diagnosis of MS. CONCLUSION 68 Ga-NODAGA-exendin-4-PET/CT has higher sensitivity than 68 Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT and CECT for insulinoma localization. FP uptake in normal pancreas and FN result in tail lesions are limitations of currently utilized exendin-4-based imaging.

Abstract
CONTEXT Data are limited regarding prevalence, predictors, and mechanisms of persistent hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (HH) in males with a macroprolactinoma who achieve normoprolactinemia on dopamine-agonist therapy. None of the previous studies provide cutoffs to predict the achievement of eugonadism. OBJECTIVE The objective of this work is to evaluate the prevalence of persistent HH and its determinants in men with a macroprolactinoma who achieve normoprolactinemia on cabergoline monotherapy. DESIGN AND SETTING This retrospective study with prospective cross-sectional evaluation took place at a tertiary health care center. PATIENTS Study participants included men with a macroprolactinoma and baseline HH who achieved normoprolactinemia on cabergoline monotherapy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Outcome measures of this study included the prevalence of persistent HH and its predictors. RESULTS Thirty participants (age, 38.3 ± 10.1 years) with baseline tumor size of 4.08 ± 1.48 cm and median (interquartile range) prolactin of 2871 ng/mL (range, 1665-8425 ng/mL) were included. Eight of 30 participants achieved eugonadism after a median follow-up of 3 years. Patients with persistent HH had suppression of the luteinizing hormone (LH)-testosterone axis with sparing of other anterior pituitary hormonal axes, including follicle-stimulating hormone-inhibin B. Baseline prolactin (1674 vs 4120 ng/mL; P = .008) and maximal tumor diameter (2.55 ± 0.36 vs 4.64 ± 1.32 cm; P = .003) were lower in patients who achieved eugonadism. Baseline maximal tumor diameter less than or equal to 3.2 cm (sensitivity: 75%, specificity: 63.6%) and serum prolactin less than or equal to 2098 ng/mL (sensitivity: 87.5%, specificity: 77.3%) best predicted reversal of HH. CONCLUSION Recovery of the LH-testosterone axis occurred in 26.7% of men with a macroprolactinoma who achieved normoprolactinemia on cabergoline monotherapy. Higher baseline tumor size and serum prolactin predict persistent HH. Our data favor chronic functional modification of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis over gonadotroph damage as the cause of persistent HH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the pathogenic role of a few benign variants and hypomorphic pathogenic variants in SRD5A2. DESIGN AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed phenotypes and genotypes in 23 Indian patients with genetically proven steroid 5α-reductase 2 (SRD5A2) deficiency. The interactions of the SRD5A2 enzymes resulting due to the most common benign variant (p.Val89Leu), the most common (hypomorphic) pathogenic variant (p.Arg246Gln) and the double variants (p.Val89Leu and p.Arg246Gln) in SRD5A2 were compared with that of the wild type (WT) enzyme by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. RESULTS The majority (n = 19, 82.61%) of patients presented for atypical genitalia and had male gender identity (16/20). Including the two novel ones (p.Leu83Pro, p.Ala28Leufs*103), a total of nine different pathogenic variants were observed. p.Arg246Gln was the most common pathogenic variant (n = 12). Homozygous p.Arg246Gln (n = 9) variant was associated with milder undervirilization (Sinnecker score of ≤3a: 8/9 vs 6/14, P = 0.04) and had concurrent homozygous p.Val89Leu in all patients. Interestingly, asymptomatic fathers of two index patients were homozygous for p.Arg246Gln which questioned the pathogenicity of the variation as a sole factor. Unlike all symptomatic homozygous p.Arg246Gln patients who were also homozygous for p.Val89Leu, asymptomatic homozygous p.Arg246Gln fathers were heterozygous for p.Val89Leu. On MD simulation SRD5A2 p.Val89Leu-Testeosterone (T) and SRD5A2 p.Arg246Gln-T complexes, but not SRD5A2 p.Val89Leu and p.Arg246Gln-T complex, demonstrated close interaction between NADPH and T as that of SRD5A2 WT-T. CONCLUSIONS p.Arg246Gln may not be pathogenic as a sole variation even in the homozygous state; additional contribution of homozygous p.Val89Leu variant may be essential for the pathogenicity of p.Arg246Gln in SRD5A2.

Abstract
Objective We report a case of pediatric thoracic tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) causing severe hypophosphatemic rickets with delayed diagnosis and emphasize on timely management of this rare entity. Case presentation A young boy presented with rickets since five years of age. Biochemical evaluation revealed hypophosphatemia, hyperphosphaturia, elevated alkaline phosphatase and normal calcium levels. Initially managed as hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets, he was given phosphorus supplements and calcitriol. Despite the therapy, skeletal deformities worsened requiring surgical corrections. Subsequently, he developed iatrogenic tertiary hyperparathyroidism for which he underwent total parathyroidectomy. Later on, he was found to have fibroblast growth factor-23 secreting thoracic mass (10.5 cm in largest dimension) which was excised with significant post operative improvement. Histopathology showed phosphaturic mesenchymal tumor-mixed connective tissue variant, confirming the diagnosis of TIO. Conclusion TIO, a correctable cause of hypophosphatemic rickets, should be considered in children presenting with hypophosphatemic rickets with evident mass on examination/imaging and in refractory cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Awareness about Insulin Autoimmune Hypoglycaemia (IAH) and its management remains limited. METHODOLOGY We describe two cohorts: Cohort 1 (n = 7) included patients with IAH from a tertiary care centre in India and Cohort 2 (n = 294) included systematic review of published English literature from PubMed. They were compared with our insulinoma patients (n = 41). RESULTS Cohort 1 included seven female patients where two had drugs (carbimazole and thiocolchicoside) as triggering factors. Except for one patient requiring oral prednisolone, others had spontaneous remission. The unique features from our series are being first case series of IAH from India and reporting of second case of thiocolchicoside triggered IAH. Cohort 2 had 294 patients identified from 149 publications. Mean age was 54 ± 19 years. Thirty-five different triggers were identified from 160 cases. Antithyroid drugs were most common triggers in Japanese patients and most common HLA allele was DRB1*0406, while it was alpha-lipoic acid and HLA DRB1*0403 in non-Asians. Serum Insulin >100 µIU/mL and insulin to C-peptide molar ratio (ICMR) >0.25 had specificity of 100% and 97.5%, respectively, for IAH as compared to insulinoma. 56% patients had remission with complex carbohydrate diet and trigger removal while 43% required immunosuppressants. 70% achieved remission within 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Middle age remains most common age group. Sulfhydryl drugs are most common triggers. Serum Insulin >100 µIU/mL and ICMR > 0.25 in critical sample are good predictors for diagnosis of IAH, which needs to be confirmed by IAA. Conservative management with dietary modification and trigger removal usually suffices in majority. Rests need immunosuppressants.

Abstract
Four 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium halide ionic liquids were synthesized via metathesis and anion exchange reactions. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) colloids were synthesized in four ionic liquids in the pressurized reactor by reduction of silver nitrate with hydrogen gas, without adding solvents or stabilizing agents. Antibacterial activities of base ionic liquids and AgNPs colloids in ionic liquids were reviewed by well-diffusion method for gram-positive Bacillus cereus (NCIM-2155) and gram-negative Escherichia coli (NCIM-2931) bacteria. Antibacterial activities of ionic liquids and AgNPs colloids in ionic liquids were observed to be controlled by ionic liquids anions and AgNPs particle size. The 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide ionic liquid exhibited higher antibacterial activities among the studied ionic liquids. Further, the presence of AgNPs in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium iodide, ionic liquid enhanced its antibacterial activity for Bacillus cereus and Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Most common incidentally detected sellar-suprasellar region (SSR) masses are pituitary adenomas, followed by craniopharyngioma, rathke's cleft cyst, hypophysitis, and meningioma. Besides these, certain unusual SSR lesions can sometimes present as diagnostic challenges, where diagnosis is often made post-operatively on histopathology, the pre-operative suspicion of which might have influenced the management strategies. Series describing such masses are few. OBJECTIVE To present clinical, biochemical, and radiological characteristics and management outcomes of rare SSR lesions other than pituitary adenomas, craniopharyngioma, rathke's cleft cyst, hypophysitis, and meningioma. DESIGN, SETTING, PATIENTS Retrospective case record analysis of patients with uncommon SSR masses (from January 2006 to December 2016). RESULTS Our series consisted of ten patients, five with neoplastic and five with non-neoplastic lesions. Neoplastic masses included granular cell tumor (n = 2), astrocytoma (n = 1), malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST, n = 1), and metastasis from occult papillary carcinoma of thyroid (n = 1), while non-neoplastic masses were aspergillus abscess (n = 1), sterile abscess (n = 1), and tubercular abscess (n = 1), aneurysm of left internal carotid artery (n = 1), and ruptured dermoid cyst (n = 1). All patients (except one) presented with headache and/or visual disturbance. Only one patient had acromegaly while most others had hypopituitarism. We describe detailed MRI characteristics of each of the lesion. Seven patients underwent trans-sphenoidal surgery. Post-operatively, five patients had permanent diabetes insipidus, while two patients died in early post-operative period. CONCLUSION Our series expand the differential diagnostic considerations of SSR lesions. Most of the rare SSR masses present with symptoms of mass effects and hypopituitarism. Except for some non-neoplastic lesions like sellar abscesses, aneurysms, and dermoid cysts which can have some specific imaging characteristics that can provide clue to pre-operative diagnosis, most of the other neoplastic masses have overlapping radiological features, and pre-operative suspicion remains difficult.

Abstract
A 38-year-old female presented with recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia for 5 years. On 72-h fast test, critical sample biochemistry was suggestive of endogenous hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Both constrast-enhanced computed tomography and 68Ga-DOTATATE positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) revealed no pancreatic lesion but showed a jejunal lesion suggestive of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) but not confirmatory of insulinoma. 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT showed intense uptake in the proximal jejunum, and this being a specific scan for insulinoma, confirmed it as an ectopic insulinoma. The patient attained normoglycemia after excision of this NET confirming it to be a case of ectopic insulinoma located in the jejunum. Although most insulinomas are located in the pancreas, rarely ectopic cases have been described in the spleen, perisplenic tissue, duodenohepatic ligament, adjacent to the ligament of Treitz, duodenum, and the jejunum. Functional scanning with 68Ga-Exendin-4 PET/CT scan aids the localization of ectopic insulinoma.

Abstract
CONTEXT Conventional fractionated radiotherapy (CRT) achieves control of pathological hypercortisolism in 75%-80% of patients with persistent or recurrent Cushing's disease (CD), over a mean period of 18-24 months. Medical therapy is recommended as bridge therapy while awaiting RT effect. OBJECTIVE To determine long-term outcome of CRT and its predictors in CD patients. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS This is a retrospective case record analysis of 42 patients with CD who received CRT as a treatment modality and had at least 12 months post-RT follow-up. The dose delivered was 45 Gy in 25 fractions over 5 weeks. Demographic details, hormonal evaluation and radiological data were extracted from case records. Dexamethasone suppressed cortisol at cut-off of 1.8 µg/dL was used to define remission or recurrence. Possible predictors for remission and recurrence were analysed. RESULTS The mean age at the time of CRT administration was 23.7 ± 10.7 (range: 12-48) years. A total of 29 (69%) patients achieved remission 26.5 ± 28.5 (median: 18, range: 3-120) months after RT, while 13 (31%) patients had persistent disease at last follow-up. There were no significant predictors of disease remission after CRT. Six (20.7%) patients had recurrence after a documented initial remission. Recurrence occurred 66.6 ± 25.9 (median: 74; range: 18 to 90) months after documented remission. Recurrence of the disease was exclusively seen in patients who received peri-RT cabergoline. Peri-CRT use of cabergoline was significantly associated with increased recurrence rates (P = .016). CONCLUSION Use of cabergoline in the peri-CRT period did not affect initial remission after CRT but was associated with increased recurrence after initial remission in CD.
