Solitary atrial Rhabdomyoma in an infant with tuberous sclerosis: a case report and review of the literature
BMC Cardiovascular Disorders / 25 - مارس - 2024
Despite its rare incidence of 1/40,000, fetal cardiac rhabdomyoma (CR) represents the prevailing type of benign cardiac fetal tumors, which commonly affects the ventricles. Fetal CRs rarely occur in the right atrium. Thus, the presentation of atrial fibrillation and premature atrial contractions (PAC) due to a solitary cardiac rhabdomyoma is an extremely rare scenario. Our literature review found that only 2% (1 out of 61) of rhabdomyoma cases were found in the right atrium. The majority of fetal cardiac rhabdomyomas are associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)

تحميل الملفPrimary renal mucormycosis in a type 2 diabetic patient: A case report from Syria
Heliyon / 29 - يونيو - 2024
Mucormycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection that primarily affects immunocompromised individuals and rarely presents as renal mucormycosis (RM). Diagnosis can be challenging for many physicians. We report a rare case of primary, unilateral RM which triggered diabetic ketoacidosis in a type 2 diabetic patient. The case was later complicated by a bronchopleural fistula and a meropenem-resistant Klebsiella infection. The patient was ultimately treated with surgical intervention, liposomal amphotericin B, and polymyxine E. Early diagnosis and timely treatment of this life-threatening disease and its complications are significant in reducing mortality.
تحميل الملفFamilial hypokalemic periodic paralysis: a case induced by concurrent hyperthyroidism
BMC Nephrology / 4 - نوفمبر - 2024
Familial hypokalemic periodic paralysis (HypoPP) is an uncommon genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of muscle weakness and hypokalemia, typically starting in early adulthood. The existence of hyperthyroidism in the presence of HypoPP is more strongly associated with a diagnosis of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP), with most cases occurring in Asian males with pathogenic KCNJ2 or KCNJ18 variants and without a family history of the condition.

Pharmaceuticals / 2 - يونيو - 2025
Prostate cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer in men and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with over 1.5 million new cases and 397,000 deaths reported in 2022 [1]. Despite advancements in primary treatment, approximately 20–50% of patients initially treated with radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy with curative intent will experience biochemical recurrence
