Rethinking the Terminology: A Perspective on Renaming Polycystic Ovary Syndrome for an Enhanced Pathophysiological Understanding.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder that affects women at various stages of life, presenting a wide range of symptoms and health implications. The term "Polycystic Ovary Syndrome" can be misleading, prompting many within the medical community and advocacy groups to advocate for a name change. Critics argue that this terminology can complicate understanding and awareness of the disease among patients.

Factors associated with severe diabetic ketoacidosis in patients diagnosed with type 1 diabetes: a decade-long cross-sectional analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) at the onset of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) in adult patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis over a 10-year period including adults newly diagnosed with T1DM. Eligible participants were diagnosed with DKA at the time of T1DM diagnosis.

The Growing Understanding of the Pituitary Implication in the Pathogenesis of Long COVID-19 Syndrome: A Narrative Review.

Long COVID-19, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection, is a condition where individuals who have recovered from the acute phase of COVID-19 continue to experience a range of symptoms for weeks or even months afterward. While it was initially thought to primarily affect the respiratory system, it has become clear that Long COVID-19 can involve various organs and systems, including the endocrine system, which includes the pituitary gland. In the context of Long COVID-19, there is a growing understanding of the potential implications for the pituitary gland.

Concomitant coexistence of ACTH-dependent and independent Cushing syndrome.

We report a case of a patient who presented for ACTH-dependent Cushing after a confirmed hypercortisolism and an inadequate normal ACTH. A transsphenoidal surgery of a pituitary picoadenoma has been done. After surgery, the patient showed the persistence of hypercortisolism.

Complex cardiac vascular malformation: Natures own CABG.

True cardiac arteriovenous malformations are rare anomalies that may be acquired or congenital in origin. These anomalies are well demonstrated by Multi Detector Computed Tomography (MDCT) with much higher clarity and anatomic detail than invasive angiography. We report a case of large complex cardiac vascular malformation in 55 year old male involving feeders from systemic (internal mammary artery, right inferior phrenic artery), coronary (left anterior descending), and pulmonary arterial and venous systems using a 64 slice MDCT scanner.
