Exacerbation of Very Late-Onset Darier Disease With COVID-19 Infection: A Case Report.

Darier disease is an uncommon hereditary skin disorder characterized by the presence of hyperkeratotic papules and plaques affecting seborrheic areas. The uniqueness of this case lies in the exceptionally late-onset pattern of Darier disease, involving an 82-year-old female patient, and its correlation with COVID-19 infection. The patient had a history of a scaly and itchy rash limited to her arms, initially misdiagnosed as dermatitis, which persisted and worsened over three months.

Novel Biomarkers and the Multiple-Marker Approach in Early Detection, Prognosis, and Risk Stratification of Cardiac Diseases: A Narrative Review.

Cardiac diseases are a primary cause of mortality worldwide, underscoring the importance of early identification and risk stratification to enhance patient outcomes. Biomarkers have become important tools for the risk assessment of cardiovascular disease and monitoring disease progression. This narrative review focuses on the multiple-marker approach, which involves simultaneously evaluating several biomarkers for the early detection and risk stratification of heart diseases.

ANCA-Negative EGPA With Pulmonary, Cutaneous, and Neurological Manifestations in a 25-Year-Old Male: A Case Report.

Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis is a systemic vasculitis characterized by the presence of asthma, hyper-eosinophilia, and necrotizing vasculitis with extravascular eosinophilic granulomas. We report the case of a 25-year-old male who presented to the outpatient department complaining of joint aches and numbness in the hands and legs. Physical examination revealed erythematous blanchable macular rashes on palms and soles.

Listerial Meningitis and Brain Abscess With Coexisting COVID-19 Infection in a Young, Immunocompetent Male: A Case Report.

(LM) is a gram-positive intracellular pathogen that can cause central nervous system infections such as meningitis, meningoencephalitis, rhombencephalitis, or cerebritis. It rarely causes a brain abscess. Listerial meningitis and brain abscess most commonly occur in immunocompromised individuals, neonates, pregnant females, alcoholics, and the elderly.

Cardiovascular Collapse Secondary to Beta-Blocker Administration in a Setting of Coexisting Thyroid Storm and Atrial Fibrillation: A Case Report.

A thyroid storm is a rare endocrinological emergency caused by severe hyperthyroidism. Reducing circulating levels of free T3 in blood and beta-adrenergic inhibition are the basis of medical treatment for thyroid storms. Propranolol, due to its additional effect of preventing the peripheral conversion of dormant T4 to active form T3, is the chosen drug for blockade in hyperthyroidism and thyroid storm.

Ileocecal Intussusception With Lipoma as a Lead Point Leading to Small Bowel Obstruction in an Elderly Male: A Case Report.

Intussusception with a lipoma as a lead point and associated bowel obstruction is very uncommon in adults. The patient presents with abdominal pain and intermittent or sudden intestinal obstruction requiring surgical intervention. We report the case of a 68-year-old male who presented with complaints of severe abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.
