Objective: Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis is a rare manifestation of thyrotoxicosis. Here, we describe the clinical and biochemical features and treatment outcomes of this disorder.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted at a tertiary care centre in southern India.
Article Synopsis
- The study found that postmenopausal women with femoral neck fractures in southern India had significantly worse proximal hip geometry and trabecular bone scores compared to those without fractures.
- The research included 90 women with fractures and 90 age-matched controls, revealing a higher prevalence of osteoporosis and degraded bone microarchitecture among the women with fractures.
- Key factors linked to femoral neck fractures included osteoporosis at the femoral neck, lower cross-sectional moment of inertia, and higher buckling ratio in the hip structure.
McCune Albright syndromeis a rare disorder that presents with multiple endocrine abnormalities. We report the case of a 24-year-old woman who presented with right lower limb pain, with no preceding trauma or fracture. On examination she was noted to have coarsened facial features, acral enlargement, bitemporal hemianopia, galactorrhoea and multiple café-au-lait macules.
