We present a rare case of pseudohyponatremia in a 20-year-old male patient with adult T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ATLL). The patient was admitted for a mediastinal mass with superior vena cava syndrome and was receiving pegaspargase therapy. The pseudohyponatremia was found to be secondary to hypertriglyceridemia associated with the pegaspargase treatment.

Fractional flow reserve (FFR)-guided complete revascularization (CR) by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has emerged as an alternative to traditional culprit-only PCI.
Objective: To investigate the outcomes of FFR-guided CR versus culprit-only PCI in patients with MI and multivessel CAD.
Introduction: Testing cognitive functions in Indians with low literacy and linguistic diversity is challenging. We describe the adaptation process of a comprehensive neurocognitive test battery to suit both literate and illiterate aging rural Indians.
Methods: Following the International Test Commission (ITC) guidelines for cross-cultural adaptation, we adapted the COGNITO battery.
