Multi-Etiological Hyponatremia in Association With Suspected Beer Potomania.

Beer potomania is a unique condition characterized by hyponatremia secondary to excessive beer drinking and low daily solute intake. We report a case of a 41-year-old African American female with multiple comorbidities, notably alcohol use disorder, who was initially treated for hypertensive emergency and was subsequently found to be hyponatremic during the same visit. Beer potomania was suspected as a leading etiology of hyponatremia.

Conservative Approach and Management of Complicated Lung Abscess.

A 72-year-old male presented to the ER with three days of productive cough, shortness of breath, and generalized weakness. Chest X-ray showed right lung opacity in the lower lobe. Chest CT scan showed consolidation in the superior segment of the right lower cavity with air-fluid level extending to the pleural and chest wall, suggestive of lung abscess with loculated empyema and thickened pleura.

Intussusception in the Geriatric Population: A Case Report.

Recurrent abdominal pain in the adult population is a complex symptom with a broad spectrum of diagnoses. The diagnosis of intussusception in the elderly is considerably rarer than in the younger population. High clinical suspicion is required, and imaging is needed for confirmation.

Pilar Cysts of the Head and Neck: A Case Report.

Pilar cysts, a subtype of sebaceous cysts, are benign masses often commonly found on the scalp, back, and face. They are common amongst women and carry a low potential for malignancy. These lesions arise due to the buildup of keratin in the skin pore, blocking the exit port of sebaceous gland secretions.

Electronic Band Structure and Transport Properties of the Cluster Compound AgTlMoSe.

Mo-based cluster compounds are a large class of materials with complex crystal structures that give rise to very low lattice thermal conductivity. Here, we report on the crystal structure and transport property measurements (5-800 K) of the novel Tl-filled compound AgTlMoSe. This compound adopts a crystal structure described in the rhombohedral R3 c space group [ a = 9.

On Fe-Fe Dumbbells in the Ideal and Real Structures of FeGa.

The intermetallic phase FeGa belongs to the rare examples of substances with transition metals where semiconducting behavior is found. The necessary electron count of 17 ve/fu can be formally derived from eight Fe-Ga and one Fe-Fe two-center-two-electron bond. The situation is reminiscent of the well-known Fe(CO) scenario, where a direct Fe-Fe two-center-two-electron bond was shown to not be present.

Enhancement of the Thermoelectric Properties of FeGa-type Structures with Group 6 Transition Metals: A Computational Exploration.

The possible existence of group 6 TM compounds with T = Cr, Mo, W and M = Ga, In is investigated with the aid of density functional theory calculations. Their most probable crystal structure is expected to be of the FeGa type tetragonal space group P4/mnm. All compounds are computed to be semiconductors with a band gap ranging from 0.
