Sargis: Adrenocortical carcinoma is a rare malignancy, with approximately 2,000 cases reported in the United States since 1970.[1] Many secrete excess adrenocortical hormones, adding to morbidity and mortality. Surgery can be curative or prolong survival if diagnosis made early, but prognosis remains poor due delayed detection.[2] We present case of metastatic functional that presented consequences...
Post-thyroidectomy hypocalcemia is the most common complication after total thyroidectomy. Studies to examine role of low vitamin D in increasing post-thyroidectomy incidence have produced varying results. This study aimed assess whether deficiency increases risk hypocalcemia.This retrospective involved 244 patients who underwent thyroidectomy between 2014 and 2019. Patients were divided into two groups based on pre-operative levels. Group A B had (25-hydroxyvitamin D) levels ≥20 ng/ml <20...
Climate change is predicted to adversely impact human health in myriad ways, with increasing concerns regarding the of various climactic factors on chronic disease incidence, progression, complications, and management. To clarify current state knowledge, we conducted a scoping review identify knowledge gaps about climate diabetes. We comprehensive literature search across PubMed, EMBASE, Web Science databases, combining terms related "climate change" "diabetes" from January 1, 2018, through...

Testicular cancer is seen commonly in young males and has a high cure rate if diagnosed treated early. It clinically presents with painless testicular swelling. We discuss the case of previously healthy male an aggressive which started swelling but primary site underwent necrosis secondary to its own vascular demand thus giving false impression resolution, not before metastasizing rest body. With this case, we aim highlight importance increasing awareness presenting symptoms need overcome...

Cholangiocarcinoma is one of the most lethal tumors because its complex location and lack good chemoradiotherapy options. When it diagnosed, urgent intervention needed, often involving radical surgical resection. It generally presents as a liver mass with biliary obstruction. We discuss case young patient presenting dysfunction imaging mimicking concerning for cholangiocarcinoma, where he actually had infarct from splanchnic venous thrombosis primary myelofibrosis.
Cushing's disease (CD) is the most common cause of endogenous cortisol excess. We discuss case a 60-year-old woman with recurrent venous thromboembolism, refractory hypokalemia, and lumbar vertebrae compression fractures rapidly progressive course. Ectopic hypercortisolism was suspected given patient's age rapid onset disease. Investigations revealed excess from pituitary microadenoma. This demonstrates that CD can present severe findings highlights increased risk thromboembolism in...
Introduction: Exertional Heat Stroke (EHS) is one of the leading causes death in young athletes. This commonly seen youngsters who engage heavy exercise during periods high ambient temperature. We report a case female developed bowel ischemia and shock liver after marathon run on warm summer afternoon. Case: A 27 y/o was brought to ER she collapsed an hour into marathon. At presentation hyperthermic with T 40.2 °C, encephalopathic hypotensive. She rapidly cooled IV cold normal saline cooling...
