The relationship between early post-operative ACTH / cortisol following pituitary surgery and long-term glucocorticoid requirement - Do ultradian rhythms matter?

abstract：BACKGROUND:Thyroid cancer incidence has been increasing worldwide. Some suggest greater ascertainment of indolent tumours is the only driver, but others suggest there has been a true increase. Increases in Australia appear to have been among the largest in the world, so we investigated incidence trends in the Australia...
