This case report describes a girl with familial adenomatous polyposis who exhibited heterosexual precocious puberty due to an adrenal tumor secreting cortisol and androgens; after her adrenalectomy, her hormone levels normalized and symptoms improved, illustrating the link between genetic syndromes and endocrine disorders.

In this case report, a 12-year-old girl with underlying sickle-thalassemia and familial stress presented with Rapunzel syndrome, a rare gastric trichobezoar, causing generalized swelling and severe anemia, which improved after surgical intervention and multidisciplinary care.

This case study indicates that older patients with NMOSD may show favorable clinical improvements with aggressive treatment, even when the intervention is initiated later in the disease course.

This case report describes a 27-year-old male with autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 1, characterized by symptoms including fever, dysarthria, dysphagia, oral candidiasis, nail dystrophy, alopecia, hypoparathyroidism, and dilated cardiomyopathy. The study highlights unique bilateral symmetrical brain calcifications and underscores the syndrome’s diverse manifestations.

This study found that TCF7L2 gene polymorphism is linked to alopecia areata, but no significant difference in treatment outcomes was observed between PRP and conventional therapy among different genotypes.

In this study, the integration of artificial intelligence in medicine was discussed, highlighting its potential to enhance diagnostic processes, optimize therapies, and provide advanced patient monitoring despite challenges like data inconsistency and limited model transparency.

In this case report from People's College of Medical Sciences, a 20-year-old man initially misdiagnosed with Addison's disease was ultimately found to have strongyloidiasis, with his symptoms and weight loss improving after antihelminthic treatment.

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 report describes a challenging diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome using endocrine tests and imaging, which ultimately identified an adrenal etiology. Successful treatment involved a non-invasive desmopressin stimulation test and right adrenalectomy, leading to improvement in symptoms and health outcomes for the patient.

This study found that a random forest algorithm most effectively detected COVID-19, with high specificity and accuracy, among 10,862 individuals in an Iranian hospital setting.

In this study, a 37-year-old female with resistant hypertension and signs of Cushing's syndrome and primary aldosteronism was found to have normal cortisol levels but high levels of cortisol and aldosterone via adrenal venous sampling, leading to a diagnosis confirmed by right adrenalectomy.

This study is investigating the efficacy and safety of proxalutamide, an androgen receptor antagonist, in treating severe or critically ill patients with COVID-19, aiming to provide new insights into potential therapeutic options. Results are not reported yet.

This study found that while the macular, retinal nerve fiber layer, and retinal layers' thickness were similar between alopecia areata patients and controls, the choroidal thickness was significantly thicker in the alopecia areata group, suggesting potential inflammation-related changes.

This case study found that a 1.6cm ovarian Leydig cell tumor, causing hyperandrogenism in a postmenopausal woman, evaded detection on standard imaging techniques, underscoring the difficulty of diagnosing such tumors with imaging alone.

This study concluded that STK11 gene polymorphisms were not predictive of metformin response in women with PCOS, though they may influence alopecia and hirsutism.

In this study, D-dimer and procalcitonin elevation were identified as potential indicators for intensive care needs in COVID-19 pneumonia patients, highlighting differences in nursing care requirements compared to non-COVID-19 pneumonia patients.

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.

This study reports a case of constrictive pericarditis associated with COVID-19, highlighting the need for imaging, biomarkers, and histology for effective evaluation and treatment decisions.

This case report highlights Leydig cell hyperplasia as a rare cause of increased testosterone and postmenopausal hirsutism, resolved after bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a 64-year-old woman.

This case report describes a 58-year-old woman whose virilization symptoms were linked to a steroid tumor of the ovary, emphasizing the importance of prompt diagnosis and treatment to improve her quality of life.

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 highlights a 60-year-old patient's diagnosis with Cronkhite-Canada syndrome, characterized by gastrointestinal polyps, diarrhea, weight loss, brittle nails, alopecia, and skin changes, which showed improvement with treatment.

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.
