In this case report, the rapid clinical improvement of a 2-month-old rescued kitten with severe malnutrition-related ascites after nutritional intervention highlights the importance of nutritional assessment in diagnosing ascites in young felines.

This study observed that 2.5% of patients with mycosis fungoides or Szary syndrome experienced alopecia, predominantly within skin lesions, with scalp metastases from other cancers also potentially causing hair loss, highlighting the diagnostic value of trichoscopy in differentiating alopecia types.

The testes significantly contribute to vitamin D metabolism and may affect male reproductive health and conditions like hair loss.

In this review, researchers reported that anorexia nervosa leads to widespread medical complications across all body systems, particularly at low body weights, and these complications are primarily treated through nutritional rehabilitation with a multidisciplinary team approach.

This index of Harper's Textbook of Pediatric Dermatology, Fourth Edition, provides no clinical results or new findings.

This study found that Prss53-mutated rabbits exhibited curved hair and skeletal dyskinesia, suggesting a link between Prss53 loss and these traits, potentially involving disrupted calcium metabolism.

Eating disorders are serious, often undiagnosed conditions requiring early treatment, with anorexia being the most deadly and binge-eating the most treatable.

Aldesleukin can treat certain cancers and increase HIV patient CD4+ counts but often causes severe side effects.

Skin changes can indicate starvation and nutritional deficiencies in anorexia nervosa.

This case report describes the rare association of an ovarian Leydig cell tumor and primary hyperparathyroidism in a postmenopausal woman, highlighting the importance of considering rare causes in patients with virilizing symptoms.

This study found that holding abatacept infusions for four weeks or longer before elective hip or knee arthroplasty did not reduce the risk of post-operative infections or readmissions.

This case report describes a rare instance of pediatric idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in an 11-year-old Saudi boy, characterized by extensive cranial calcifications beyond the basal ganglia, with no other neurological abnormalities.

This case study reports that bisphosphonate therapy, used to treat osteoporosis, can lead to jawbone necrosis, as demonstrated in an 82-year-old patient who experienced severe complications requiring surgical intervention. The authors recommend comprehensive dental care before and avoidance of invasive procedures during bisphosphonate treatment.

This case report details an atypical presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma in an 87-year-old man, where severe hypercalcemia and mental status changes prompted further investigation and diagnosis.

This case report suggests that systemic lupus erythematosus can be a rare cause of severe hypercalcemia, potentially due to stimulating parathyroid hormone receptor autoantibodies.

This study found no significant differences in phosphatide distribution between normal and cancerous mouse epidermis during different stages of growth, despite variations in total phosphatide levels.

This study found that serum prolactin levels were significantly higher in patients with subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism compared to controls, indicating altered prolactin regulation in these patients.

This study found that the diphosphonate ethan-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonat was the most effective compound in preventing calcifications in rats induced by DHT, compared to other phosphatase inhibitors and polyphosphates tested.

This study found that overexpression of the metabolic enzyme PHGDH can promote cancer initiation and progression, highlighting its significant role in tumor cell proliferation and tumorigenesis.

In this case report, the coexistence of hypercalcemia and androgen excess in a postmenopausal woman was linked to primary hyperparathyroidism and a suspected androgen-secreting ovarian tumor, underscoring the need for a comprehensive diagnostic approach to identify overlapping endocrine disorders.

In this study, two dialysis patients with high plasma silicon levels exhibited symptoms like painful skin eruptions and unusual hair growth, suggesting silicon may influence calcium metabolism similarly to aluminum.

This study highlights that hypoalbuminemia, often found in critically ill or elderly hospitalized patients, may increase morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization duration, suggesting specific conditions where oral or parenteral albumin supplementation should be considered.

In this case report, researchers described how autoimmune thyroid disease can obscure primary hyperparathyroidism diagnosis, emphasizing the necessity of combining imaging, cytology, biochemical assessment, and parathyroid scintigraphy for accurate diagnosis.

This case study reported on a 49-year-old male with muscle weakness and low potassium levels, suggesting a diagnosis of thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis.

Acute leukemias with the Philadelphia chromosome may be biphenotypic, and identifying this is important for proper treatment.

This article presents five cases of valproate-induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy in psychiatric patients treated at the authors' clinic and discusses existing literature on this side effect.

This study found that during dialysis, lower plasma-potassium levels were associated with hyperglycemia, suggesting potassium correction is vital when using glucose-rich dialysate.

In this study, five patients with moderate hyperprolactinemia lacked symptoms, signs, or underlying causes, leading researchers to conclude that no further investigation or therapy was needed.

This case series reports three cats diagnosed with hypersomatotropism due to GH-secreting pituitary adenomas without concurrent diabetes mellitus, highlighting the potential for underdiagnosis in non-diabetic cats.

This study highlights a rare case of ovarian hyperthecosis in a 58-year-old postmenopausal woman, presenting with polycythemia and severe hyperandrogenism symptoms, with resolution of symptoms following laparoscopic bilateral oophorectomy.
