The Conference was divided sequentially into eight sessions devoted to specific topics on an anatomical basis (gastric NET sessions 1–2, duodenal NET, pancreatic NET sessions 1–4, and poorly differentiated endocrine carcinomas). A working booklet with the ENETS guidelines and specific queries had been prepared in advance by the Organizing Committee. The work was organized such that, after a short case presentation in a plenary session, each working group gathered separately to discuss group-specific questions. Once agreement was reached within each group, consensus statements were discussed and approved or rejected by all participants gathered in the plenary session. This procedure was followed for all eight sessions. The TNM staging proposal was made by the Pathology and Genetics working group and amended and approved by the plenary session of the consensus conference. The grading system was discussed and defined by the Pathology and Genetics working group only.
System, Endocrine
It plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis, mediating growth and development, and influencing metabolism, reproduction, and mood.
This system includes the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pancreatic glands, as well as other specialized endocrine tissues.
Hormones secreted by these glands travel through the bloodstream to target tissues, where they elicit specific effects.
Disruptio ns or imbalances in the Endocrine System can lead to a variety of disorders, such as diabetes, thyroid diseases, and hormonal cancers.
Understanding the Endocrine System is essential for researchers investigating endocrine-related health conditions and developing effective treatments.

Fertility—Progesterone is one of the most important hormones for pregnancy with myriad functions from ensuring implantation of the egg into a healthy uterine wall, to ensuring embryo survival and prevention of immune rejection of the developing baby. Many other hormones act in concert with progesterone, like Follicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) and Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and can be used to assess optimal fertility windows on a monthly basis. And in fact an over dominant production of estrogen can lead to progesterone deficiency and thus difficulty getting or staying pregnant. It is important that women not only monitor FSH and LH to determine optimal fertility for getting pregnant, but ensure that sufficient levels or progesterone are being produced to ensure pregnancy and viability of the fetus. A study from the British Medical Journal, 2012, demonstrated that a single progesterone level test can help discriminate between viable and nonviable pregnancies. Among women who had an ultrasound, 73 percent had nonviable pregnancies. But among women with progesterone levels below 3 to 6 nanograms per milliliter, the probability of a nonviable pregnancy rose to more than 99 percent (Gallos L et al. British Medical J, 2012).
Perimenopause—Monitoring hormone levels during the menopausal transition may help women better understand important changes in their body and allow them to make more informed decisions about health, diet, and lifestyle. According to Hale G E (Best Pract Res Clin Obstet Gynaecol, 2009), data from endocrine studies on women throughout the menopausal transition show changes in levels of steroid hormones and gonadotropins (Progesterone, Estrodiol, LH, FSH and AMH) and follicle-stimulating hormone undergoes the first detectable change while menstrual cycles remain regular. Erratic and less predictable changes in steroid hormones follow, especially with the onset of irregular cycles. Later serum hormone studies on the inhibins and anti-Mullerian hormone established that diminishing ovarian follicle number contributes to the endocrine changes with advancing reproductive age.
Many fertility issues revolve around genetic, anatomical or other disorders that may either prevent a woman from becoming pregnant and/or staying pregnant. Some of these disorders include hormonal imbalances, diabetes, a short or insufficient cervix, and acute or chronic infections. A cascade of genes has been implicated in the occurrence of getting and staying pregnant. These genes have been studied using genotyping, gene expression, and proteomic analysis to assess a woman's ability to stay pregnant.
In some embodiments the disclosed device focuses on detecting levels of Progesterone, LH, FSH, Estrodiol, AMH, genotyping, gene expression through RNA and methylome sequencing, qPCR and proteomic analysis for fertility and menopause management from menstrual blood or cervicovaginal fluid.

Images were graded by a retina specialist at the WVU Eye Institute. These specialists included three WVU board-certified retina faculty and one vitreoretinal fellow—all patients were assigned to have their set of acquired images evaluated by one of these four specialists. Images were noted as gradable or ungradable, and the extent of DR (absent, mild, moderate, severe, or proliferative) and/or DME (absent, mild, moderate, or severe) was described in accordance to the International Classification of DR scale [24 (link)]. Care plan recommendations and suspicion of other pathologies were also noted. The results with their accompanying care plan recommendations were uploaded to the Epic electronic medical record (EMR) for the use of primary care physicians (PCPs) in their advising of diabetic patients in accordance to the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s guidelines for DR follow-up (Fig.
