Treatment of sexual dysfunction induced by hyperprolactinemia accompanied by reduced luteinizing hormone levels: A case report
In this study, we aimed to present the case of a 35-year-old male patient with sexual dysfunction. The treatment process and physical and laboratory examination results were recorded. Before treatment, the PRL and LH levels in this patient were 31.27 ng/mL and 1.62 mIU/mL, respectively. The International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) score was initially 14 points. After regular treatment with low doses of bromocriptine and tadalafil, the hormonal disorder was corrected (PRL: 11.16 ng/mL and LH: 2.28 mIU/mL) and sexual function w as recovered (IIEF-5: 23 points).

Primary Sjogren's syndrome presenting as ptosis and eyelid swelling: A case report
We report the case of a 27- year-old woman presenting to our clinic with the complaint of ptosis and eyelid swelling. She also had a positive anti-acetylcholine receptor antibody test and her initial presentation mimicked Myasthenia Gravis. Her autoimmune workup revealed a positive titer of Anti Ro SSA antibodies. Myasthenia G ravis was ruled out on electrodiagnostic studies which showed no decremental response, and pSS was confirmed on lip biopsy. Our case highlights that it is important to interpret the antibody test results in the context of clinical findings as we can have spurious results in autoimmune diseases. Auto ...

NR1H4 mutation and rapid progressive intrahepatic cholestasis in infancy: A case report and literature review
AbstractFarnesoid X receptor (FXR) is a nuclear bile acid receptor encoded by theNR1H4 gene, a vital regulator of bile acid homeostasis. Pathogenic mutations ofNR1H4 manifest as low gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) cholestasis with rapid progression to liver failure, which is referred to as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis 5 (PFIC-5). Herein, we present a case with rapid progressive cholestasis, liver failure in early infancy with theNR1H4 termination mutation. (Source: Clinical Case Reports)

A rare case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis revealing Graves' disease in a young Malian
AbstractSporadic thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) is a rare muscle disorder that manifests with abrupt muscle weakness and hypokalemia associated with hyperthyroidism. It is mostly reported in the Asian population, and rare in Caucasians. Only few cases have been reported in people with black ancestry. Here, we report a rare case of thyrotoxic periodic paralysis revealing Graves' disease in a young Malian.
