This article reviews congenital adrenal hyperplasia, a group of rare genetic disorders affecting steroid synthesis, and highlights the need for specific therapy and ongoing monitoring, but reports no new clinical findings.

In this case report, a 53-year-old man developed recurrent pericardial effusions and pericarditis shortly after starting low-dose minoxidil, with symptoms appearing within 20 days, which is unusually rapid compared to previous reports.

In this case report, a 59-year-old man experienced recurrent pericardial effusion linked to minoxidil, with serologic indications of drug-induced lupus erythematosus, underscoring the need for clinicians to consider this rare complication of widespread minoxidil use.

This retrospective cohort study found that lower postoperative nadir hematocrit levels were significantly associated with higher 28-day mortality and worse secondary outcomes after coronary artery bypass grafting, with an optimal survival benefit observed when nadir hematocrit ranged from 27% to 31%.

This narrative review concluded that facial aging involves complex anatomical changes that require multimodal rejuvenation approaches, integrating fillers, collagen stimulators, botulinum toxin, and energy-based devices for effective results, while emphasizing the need for scientific evidence and patient safety in aesthetic treatments.

This study suggests that raising the lower normal serum ferritin level to 50 ng/mL may improve organ functions even when hemoglobin levels are normal.

In this study, researchers found that in mice, gonadal hormones and biological sex do not affect the expression of SARS-CoV-2 entry proteins ACE-2 and TMPRSS-2 in the respiratory tract, regardless of disease state.

These guidelines provide updated recommendations for healthcare professionals on preventing, diagnosing, and treating iron deficiency in pregnant and postpartum women in the UK, acknowledging the lack of high-quality evidence for many current practices.
