A Case of Amiodarone-Induced Thyrotoxicosis Presenting With Methimazole-Induced Agranulocytosis.

Amiodarone is a class III anti-arrhythmic drug found to be effective in treating multiple life-threatening arrhythmias, including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Despite its effectiveness, amiodarone has been found to result in thyroid dysfunction. Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is classified as type 1, which often develops in those with autoimmune hyperthyroid conditions, or type 2, which occurs because of destructive thyroiditis in an apparently normal thyroid.

A Rare Case of Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-2) Induced Hypoglycemia Associated With Metastatic Colon Cancer.

The occurrence of hypoglycemia in patients without diabetes is rare, and non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia (NICTH) accounts for a small portion of these instances. One of the infrequent causes is associated with tumor cell production of Insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-2. Here is a case of a 66-year-old man with stage IV colon cancer who presented to the emergency department with breathlessness during chemotherapy (Bevacizumab plus FOLFOX4 regimen).

Diabetic Muscle Infarction: An Uncommon Diabetic Complication With a Lack of Standardized Treatment.

Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI) is a rare yet serious complication that has been strongly associated with uncontrolled diabetes, although other risk factors are unclear. DMI is an uncommon complication of diabetes with a lack of structured guidelines for evaluation or management. End-stage renal disease (ESRD) could have further implications in patients with DMI in terms of management given that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), which have been shown to reduce the recovery times and recurrence of DMI, could be contraindicated.

Exogenous Cushing Syndrome and Hip Fracture Due to Over-the-Counter Supplement (Artri King).

The most common cause of Cushing syndrome (CS) is exposure to exogenous glucocorticoids. There is an increasing incidence of adulterated over-the-counter (OTC) supplements containing steroids. We present a case of Artri King (AK)-induced CS in a 40-year-old woman who presented with an intertrochanteric fracture of her right femur.

Laparoscopic diagnosis and repair of Spigelian hernia: A case report and literature review.

Introduction: Spigelian hernias are a rare type of hernia which protrude through the abdominal wall at the semilunar line. They are especially difficult to diagnose due to their location and non-specific symptoms and are often overlooked because of their positioning between muscular layers. Patients may present with localized pain which can aid the diagnosis.
