A Changed Man: A Rare Case of Behcet's Disease Autoimmune Encephalitis.

Behcet's disease (BD) is characterized by recurrent oral ulcers with concomitant systemic multi-organ involvement, which may include neurological disease, ocular disease, vascular disease, genital ulcers, skin lesions, and arthritis. The clinical symptoms arise from vasculitis that involves small, medium, and large blood vessels. We present the case of a young male who presented with atypical Behcet's autoimmune encephalitis with recurrent oral ulcers, neurological manifestations, HLA-B51 positivity, abnormal EEG findings, and improvement following multiple plasma exchange treatments.

Pancreatic Cancer with a Skeletal Muscle Metastasis-A Case Presentation and Literature Review.

One-half of patients with newly diagnosed pancreatic cancer will have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis, mainly due to its non-specific initial clinical presentation which includes abdominal pain, dyspepsia, weight loss, bowel habit changes, jaundice and pruritus. The signs, symptoms and stage of the disease at initial diagnosis depends on the origin of the primary tumor, with tumors of the head presenting earlier with obstructive symptoms while tumors of the body/tail are often diagnosed at an advanced stage due to their non-specific presentation. The most common sites of metastasis are the lymph nodes, liver, lung, and peritoneum.

EStradiol and PRogesterone in In vitro ferTilization (ESPRIT): a multicenter study evaluating third- versus second-generation estradiol and progesterone immunoassays.

Purpose: To assess estradiol (E) and progesterone levels during ovarian stimulation determined by third-generation (Gen III) and second-generation (Gen II) Elecsys immunoassays.

Methods: E and progesterone concentrations were measured using Elecsys Gen III and Gen II immunoassays, and progesterone concentrations on the day of ovulation triggering were determined by LC-MS/MS. This was a retrospective, non-interventional study conducted at European tertiary referral infertility clinics in women aged 18-45 years, with a body mass index 18-35 kg/m, regular menses, and both ovaries.

Parathyroid hormone reference ranges in healthy individuals classified by vitamin D status.

Purpose: Parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations are routinely measured in the diagnosis and management of bone and kidney diseases, but reference ranges can be overestimated if determined in otherwise healthy individuals for whom vitamin D deficiency was not evaluated. We establish PTH reference ranges in apparently healthy, normocalcemic, normophosphatemic individuals categorized by 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) status using the Elecsys PTH (cobas e 601) and Elecsys Vitamin D total II electrochemiluminescence immunoassays (cobas e 411).

Methods: This prospective, non-interventional study measured PTH in serum from 653 apparently healthy adults [56.
