This case report details a patient with myasthenia gravis and a malignant thymoma whose rising liver function tests, initially thought to be related to antibiotic use, were ultimately attributed to thymoma-associated multiorgan autoimmunity.

This study reports that teflonpledget-reinforced suturing of coronary fistula, combined with coronary artery bypass grafting, improved symptoms in patients with LAD-to-MPA fistula and triple vessel disease, though larger studies are needed for confirmation.

This case report describes a six-year-old child with congenital biotinidase deficiency whose symptoms, including breathlessness, alopecia, and hearing loss, were reversed with biotin supplementation.

The conditions alopecia areata, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and ulcerative colitis may be linked by shared autoimmune and cell death mechanisms.

This case report describes the first recorded instance of posterior cerebral artery dissection in a patient with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus, which uniquely progressed from cerebral infarction to subarachnoid hemorrhage.

This case report describes a 5-year-old girl with biotinidase deficiency who had acute visual loss and gait disturbance but no typical symptoms, responding well to biotin therapy.

This study reported that despite treatment, patients with severe thallium poisoning experienced lasting visual impairment and partial recovery of polyneuropathy over two years, with hair loss fully reversing.

This study found that early biochemical screening and molecular confirmation are crucial for distinguishing profound from partial biotinidase deficiency, which supports timely treatment and management in symptomatic children.

This case study describes a three-year-old girl who developed acute hepatitis and pancytopenia, potentially due to chronic use of Senna, highlighting possible liver and bone marrow toxicity.

This report describes a patient with biotinidase deficiency presenting bilateral optic atrophy, and confirms autosomal recessive inheritance through enzyme dosage analysis in the patient and family members.

This study by Dr. Manka and colleagues reported that thyroid hormones play a significant role in regulating hepatic stellate cells, influencing liver fibrosis progression via TGFβ signaling. They found that TRα signaling might enhance scar-free tissue regeneration, offering potential pathways for targeted liver fibrosis treatments.

In this case study, divisional thallium intoxication in an adolescent led to progressive optic and peripheral neuropathy, with neurological deterioration occurring more rapidly after a second ingestion.

Liver transplant can lead to neurological, pulmonary, cardiovascular, and renal complications, with older patients facing higher risks.

This study in rats with a portocaval shunt observed severe ultrastructural damage to the inner ear, associated with zinc deficiency and symptoms resembling liver cirrhosis in humans.

This study observed that patients with paediatric-onset chronic hepatobiliary disease face a substantial health-care burden, highlighting challenges in transitioning this diverse group to adult care services.

This case report describes a 19-year-old patient with undiagnosed severe portopulmonary hypertension who experienced acute right ventricular failure and cardiac arrest following liver transplantation, subsequently managed with ECMO and a paracorporeal lung-assist device.

This report describes a case where selenium supplementation in excess may have led to toxic liver injury, suggesting that high-dose selenium can cause hepatic necrosis.

This article discusses the relationship between mitochondrial DNA damage and atherosclerosis, suggesting that mtDNA damage may increase plaque vulnerability independent of reactive oxygen species, but reports no new clinical results.

This study documented an outbreak of thallium poisoning in Iraq, highlighting its dermatological, neurological, and psychological signs, which are crucial for accurate diagnosis.

This case report highlights a 53-year-old woman who developed acute hepatitis after taking shou-wu-pian for eight months, suggesting that Chinese herbal preparations can sometimes cause liver damage.

This case report describes a 65-year-old man diagnosed with atraumatic splenic rupture, which is rare and can occur without trauma, following sudden-onset left-sided abdominal pain.

This study utilized a mouse model of traumatic brain injury to reveal that acute neurotrauma triggers widespread lipid metabolism reprogramming and storage lipid accumulation in microglial and monocyte populations, leading to lysosomal dysfunction, inhibited autophagy, and exacerbated inflammation through a pathological feedback loop.

This report describes a unique anatomical case featuring a detailed formation of a periaortic venous ring in an organic sample.

This case report describes acute liver injury in a 5-year-old Caucasian girl after ingesting the Chinese herbal product Shou-Wu-Pian, suggesting a potential link between this unregulated herbal remedy and hepatotoxicity.

This case report observed that despite treatment with Berlin blue and forced diuresis for thallium poisoning, a 42-year-old man experienced lasting distal polyneuropathy symptoms six months post-hospital discharge.

This article reports on five cases of thallium poisoning seen at Hospital Dos de Mayo, Lima, Peru, highlighting the clinical symptoms and diagnostic features observed, including a case confirmed through various laboratory tests.

This case report identifies chronic vitamin A intoxication in a toddler who received excessive vitamin A supplements, resulting in various symptoms and confirmed by liver biopsy findings.

This case report described a rare combination of synchronous gallbladder and pancreatic cancers with an unusual initial symptom of complete loss of facial and scalp hair, marking a unique presentation never previously documented for abdominal malignancies in medical literature.

This study describes a case where a patient's rapid hair loss and specific hair root changes helped diagnose thallium poisoning.

This study suggests that biotin therapy may be beneficial for individuals with partial biotinidase deficiency, as some developed symptoms later, which resolved with treatment.
