A Paradox Unveiled: A Case Report of Cerebral Infarctions in a Patient With Severe Thrombocytopenia.

Thrombocytopenia is a condition in which the platelet count is less than 150,000/μL, which can be congenital or acquired. The condition can be further sub-classified. Nevertheless, the causes include infection, medication-mediated, liver diseases, or heart diseases.

Rhabdomyolysis in Acute HIV Infection.

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication of acute HIV infection. We present a case report of a young adult male who presented with fever, myalgia, and elevated creatine phosphokinase levels, ultimately diagnosed with acute HIV infection-associated rhabdomyolysis. This case highlights the importance of considering HIV infection in the differential diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis, particularly in at-risk populations, even in the absence of typical HIV-related symptoms.

Unveiling Rarity: A Case Report of a Poorly Differentiated Synovial Sarcoma Mimicking a Plunging Ranula.

Synovial sarcomas are uncommon and highly aggressive sarcomas. Typically, they start in the soft tissues of the extremities, although they may develop in the head and neck region in rare cases. When they do, they usually present with localized symptoms in the affected area.

The Interplay of Malignancy and Endocarditis: A Report of a Rare Case of Marantic Endocarditis in Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma.

Endocarditis involves inflammation of the inner layer of the heart, known as the endocardium. This condition typically presents with vegetation, with bacteria and fungi usually being the primary culprits. It is divided into two main categories based on its cause: infectious endocarditis and noninfectious endocarditis (NIE).

Adenocarcinoma of Mullerian Origin Found Through an Elective Inguinal Hernia Resection: A Case Report.

We report an asymptomatic 59-year-old female undergoing an elective umbilical hernia excision who was found to have an ovarian adenocarcinoma within the excised hernia. Patients are rarely diagnosed with cancer after an umbilical hernia excision. An excised hernia is rarely the means for an initial diagnosis of cancer.

Increasing muscular strength to improve cardiometabolic risk factors.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of worldwide death, accounting for significant morbidity, mortality, disability, and reduced quality of life. The global prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity, has grown exponentially in the last decades, particularly in low-medium income countries, and it's projected to increase rapidly in the coming years as the population progressively ages, leading to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) and associated mortality. In fact, data from the global burden of disease study shows that CV mortality, associated disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), and years of life lost (YLL) have increased steadily, nearly doubling from 1990 to 2019.
