The Effect of Resistance, Aerobic, and Concurrent Aerobic and Resistance Exercises on Inflammatory Markers of Metabolically Healthy Overweight or Obese Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Objectives: To compare the effectiveness of different exercise interventions on improving adiposity-related inflammatory markers of metabolically healthy obese (MHO) adults.

Methods: This is a systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and quasi-experimental studies on the effects of exercise interventions in the inflammatory markers of sedentary adults with MHO phenotype. Systematic searches were performed in PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, and OVID from January 2021 to January 2022.

Qualities of Role Models of Internal Medicine Residents in a Tertiary National University Hospital in the Philippines.

Background: Teachers in medicine do not only teach scientific facts about health and disease to their learners but they are also looked up to as role models. Little is known about the qualities of consultant-faculty members who are regarded as role models by Filipino internal medicine residents.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the reasons why consultant-faculty members are considered role models by Filipino internal medicine residents.

Management of Hydrocephalus in Paget's Disease of Bone: Systematic Review and Illustrative Case.

Objective: Paget's disease of the bone (PDB) is a focal bone disorder characterized by excessive resorption and deposition of pathologic bone. It can involve the skull and cause neurologic dysfunction. Hydrocephalus occurring as a complication has also been reported.

Where is the culprit? A case of acromegaly that defied the management algorithm.

A 30-year-old Filipino man presented with a 11-year history of coarse facial features and progressive enlargement of hands and feet. Initial work-up revealed elevated insulin-like growth factor-1 and non-suppressible growth hormone level after 75 g glucose challenge test. Initial cranial MRI performed in the year 2010 showed absence of pituitary adenoma.

46 XY gonadal dysgenesis in adulthood 'pitfalls of late diagnosis'.

Disorders of sex development (DSD) include congenital conditions where developments of chromosomal, gonadal or anatomical sex are atypical. Ostrer in 2000, reported a prevalence of 1:20 000 for 46 XY DSD and complete gonadal dysgenesis. A 21-year-old patient consulted for sexual ambiguity at the out-patient department of the Philippine general hospital.

Hurthle cell carcinoma of the thyroid.

A 63-year-old man consulted for a non-toxic thyroid nodule of 2 years' duration. Fine needle aspiration revealed cell findings consistent with papillary thyroid carcinoma. He eventually underwent total thyroidectomy.

A giant myelolipoma discovered as an adrenal incidentaloma: radiological, endocrine and pathological evaluation.

A 51-year-old Filipino woman presenting with hypertension was unexpectedly found to have a large right adrenal mass by ultrasound. As she did not have symptoms of adrenal disease, this was labelled an adrenal incidentaloma. Ultrasound and CT imaging demonstrated a large adrenal mass on the right measuring 15 cm at its greatest diameter, with both benign and malignant features.

Insular thyroid carcinoma in a Filipino woman.

A 30-year-old Filipino woman presented with goitre of 4 years' duration. The right thyroid lobe was enlarged with no palpable lymph nodes. She had no thyrotoxic signs and symptoms.

Primary hyperparathyroidism with classic and severe skeletal involvement.

A 63-year-old woman has had multiple repeated fractures. A diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) was made after she was found to be hypercalcaemic with an elevated level of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH). Radiographs revealed classic and severe bone findings in PHPT, features which were common in the past but are thought to be rare at this modern age.
