This case study describes a 28-year-old woman with ACTH-independent Cushing's syndrome due to an adrenal adenoma, whose symptoms improved significantly after unilateral adrenalectomy.

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 case study reports a two and a half-month-old with biotinidase deficiency who showed rapid seizure improvement with biotin treatment after presenting with convulsions and neurological symptoms.

This case study reports that chronic skull base osteomyelitis should be considered a serious complication in patients with a history of cranial trauma or scalp procedures, despite its rarity.

In this case study, a large colonic lipoma led to colo-colonic intussusception requiring surgical intervention in a 74-year-old man.

This case report describes a 20-month-old female with a rare adrenocortical virilizing tumor, successfully treated with surgery, showing no pathological lesions over a 10-year follow-up.

This case report illustrates that Systemic Lupus Erythematosus can lead to severe malabsorption, weight loss, and small bowel inflammation, requiring recognition for effective treatment and improved outcomes.

This source critically examines the limitations of using BMI to assess obesity in women, especially during reproductive, pregnancy, and postmenopausal stages, and discusses more precise alternative methods for evaluating obesity in line with sex-specific healthcare needs.

In this case report, researchers described a patient with Cushing's Disease exhibiting no detectable mass, where Metyrapone therapy was effectively used to manage symptoms, suggesting a treatment option for similar diagnostic challenges.

This report discusses a potentially underdiagnosed form of multisystem Langerhans cell histiocytosis in infants, demonstrating the use of thymic sonography for staging, highlighting a case where thymic and cutaneous involvement was confirmed, and suggesting thymic ultrasound may aid in better diagnosis and management of LCH.

This case study reports a patient with ACTH-driven cortisol secretion 14 years after adrenalectomy, suggesting possible residual adrenal tissue or extra-adrenal steroid synthesis, challenging the need for lifelong steroid replacement.

Patients with multiple superficial venous thrombosis are at greater risk for serious complications like cancer and recurrent blood clots.

This case report describes a 45-year-old Japanese woman with metastatic cervical cancer, including rare scalp metastases, who experienced severe scalp tenderness and patchy hair loss before her death.

This study identified a new clinical variant of adult adrenomyeloneuropathy characterized by hypoplasia and agenesis of the corpus callosum, associated with a novel ABCD1 gene mutation.

This article presents a comprehensive overview of hair microscopy techniques and their diagnostic potential for systemic and cutaneous disorders, emphasizing its usefulness in resource-limited settings and highlighting the underutilization of this non-invasive method due to lack of awareness.

This study found that Nubian ibex have developed genetic adaptations in response to their desert environment, including enhanced skin barrier, DNA repair, viral response, and metabolism of toxic compounds.

This study found that hair damage from sunlight and chemical processes like perms and bleaching varies in internal microstructure changes, suggesting that protective techniques should be tailored to the type of chemical treatment used.

This study found that scanning electron microscopy can identify four specific hair morphology patterns in alopecia areata patients, offering a less invasive diagnostic option compared to punch biopsy.

In this study, improved hidden Markov algorithms based on Bayesian methods enhanced the resolution and segmentation accuracy of low-dose CT images significantly more than naive Bayesian methods.

This study found that the VEGF +405G/C polymorphism may be an inheritable risk factor for polycystic ovary syndrome in south Indian women.

This study found that in vivo confocal scanning laser microscopy accurately quantifies neogenic hair follicles in mice, producing results similar to histology while avoiding fixation artifacts.

This case report details a post-menopausal woman with hirsutism and virilization due to rare Leydig cell tumors in both ovaries, underscoring the challenge of detecting such tumors with standard imaging.

This study suggests that artificial sebum L may serve as an effective substitute for human sebum in drug transport studies, due to its similar physicochemical properties.

Polymethylene wax in hair relaxers makes hair smooth and shiny with less damage.

This study highlights that variations in clinical outcome reporting can undermine the validation of NTCP models for RIA, stressing the need for a standardized and objective scoring system.

This case study reported that a 51-year-old woman with hirsutism and voice thickening had a Leydig cell tumor detected by PET-CT, which normalized hormone levels and resolved symptoms after surgical removal.

This study found that micro-CT imaging can effectively identify vascular structures in rat models of congenital hypospadias, providing anatomical insights for selecting preputial vessel flaps in surgical procedures.

In this study, micro-CT analysis revealed that severe hypospadias in finasteride-induced rats was associated with varying levels of preputial blood circulation, impacting potential surgical approaches.

This study identified four genetic loci on chromosomes 6, 10, 16, and 18 that may contribute to susceptibility for alopecia areata and suggested shared genetic factors with psoriasis.
