Mineralocorticoid Effects in Cushing's Disease: A Case Report.

Cushing's syndrome is a rare disease caused due to prolonged exposure to excess glucocorticoids. Although rare, diagnosing Cushing's syndrome is clinically significant as it allows tailored and timely management and significant reduction or even prevention of the comorbidities caused by cortisol excess. This report delineates the presentation of a 44-year-old female with refractory secondary hypertension and severe hypokalaemia, initially thought to be caused by hyperaldosteronism.

Blood Pressure Management in Acute Ischemic Stroke With Concurrent Intracranial Neoplasm and Intratumoral Hemorrhage.

Acute ischemic stroke is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Furthermore, careful clinical assessment combined with neuroimaging is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and allows other differential diagnoses to be determined. We report a case of an 81-year-old female with a history of hypertension who presented with dysarthria, left central facial paresis, and right oculocephalic deviation.

Seronegative Myasthenia Gravis: A Rare Disease Triggered by SARS-CoV-2 or a Coincidence?

Myasthenia gravis (MG) results from the production of autoantibodies against the neuromuscular junction, leading to muscle weakness. Although the exact cause is not fully understood, it is known that the onset and exacerbations of MG can occur after viral infections. We present the case of a patient with no prior history of MG with new-onset proximal muscle weakness and ptosis, following SARS-CoV-2 infection, This case underscores the potential for autoimmune diseases to be triggered by SARS-CoV-2.

Toxicological Profile and Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Mucoadhesive Gel from Residues of and .

Inflammation is a natural protective reaction of the body against endogenous and exogenous damage, such as tissue injuries, trauma, and infections. Thus, when the response is adequate, inflammation becomes a defense mechanism to repair damaged tissue, whereas when the response is inadequate and persistent, the increase in inflammatory cells, cytosines, and chymosins impair tissue regeneration and promote a response harmful to the organism. One example is chronic tissue inflammation, in which a simple lesion can progress to ulcers and even necrosis.
