Late stage disease with Bone metastasis may cause severe complications, increases mortality rate, decreases the quality of life, and shortens the patients' survival. The treatment is still controversial. Surgery or radioiodine therapy alone is usually unsatisfactory, thus the management needs multidisciplinary collaboration.

Severe hyperkalemia is a complex and life-threatening clinical entity, closely associated with increased mortality rates. It generally presents with ascending muscle weakness and paralysis, cardiac arrhythmias and specific ECG changes. Herein, we present the case of a 30-year-old patient with end-stage renal disease, on hemodialysis. He presents to his hemodialysis session with complaints of progressive weakness and paralysis of his lower extremities, palpitations and dyspnea. His last session was 5 days prior to his ER presentation, after having missed 2 sessions. Laboratory studies revealed a serum potassium level of 10.9 mg/ dL. Intravenous calcium infusion was administered urgently and subsequently underwent urgent hemodialysis. The next day he underwent another session due to the post-hemodialysis rebound effect, but on physical examination the lower limb paraly...

This case was diagnosed as chronic meningitis with initial presentation of headache, vomiting and altered sensorium 3. What are the implications for future practice? In cases with two or more endocrinopathies, the possibility of polyglandular syndrome should be considered and treated accordingly.

Clinical appearance of NCAH can be asymptomatic at birth. Symptoms are presented more often in late childhood, adolescence, or later in life caused by excessive androgen secretion. CASE REPORT: We report the case of 27-year-old girl with 2 years history of high-grade of hirsutism, hair loss on the front of scalp with female pattern hair loss, (grade II according to Ludwig scale), breast volume reduction, weight loss (15 kg), depression, but without menstrual disorders, normal blood pressure, and usage of oral contraceptives for more than 1 year without any improvement. We did blood tests for hormonal protocol for hyperandrogenemia and we found these values high 17 (OH) progesterone and all other androgen hormones. After these examinations, the patient was diagnosed with a non-classic form of CAH. CONCLUSION: Treatment with corticosteroids and othe...

We did blood tests for hormonal protocol for hyperandrogenemia and we found these values high 17 (OH) progesterone and all other androgen hormones. After these examinations, the patient was diagnosed with a non-classic form of CAH. CONCLUSION: Treatment with corticosteroids and other necessary treatment improved clinical and hormonal features.
