Particular features have been studied of the clinical course of diffuse toxic goitre complicated by enteral syndrome. A total of 243 patients were examined. Of these, 139 were patients presenting with enteral disorders. Thyrotoxic enteropathy was diagnosed in 35 (52%) mild cases of thyrotoxicosis, the total number of such cases being 67, in 55 of 98 (56%) moderately severe, and 49 of 78 (63%) severe cases of thyrotoxicosis.

A Case of Euglycemic Ketoacidosis Secondary to Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy.
Case Rep Crit Care
January 2025
Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care & Sleep Medicine, Keck Hospital of USC, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Euglycemic ketoacidosis (EKA) has been reported as a rare but life-threatening complication of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). EKA should be suspected in the setting of persistent high anion gap metabolic acidosis despite renal replacement therapy. Critically ill patients, especially those with diabetes mellitus, are at risk of EKA due to deficient caloric intake, the presence of excess counterregulatory stress hormones, and nutritional losses from CRRT.

Background: Gut microbiota disturbance may worsen critical illnesses and is responsible for the progression of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In our previous study, there was a trend towards a higher α-diversity of the gut microbiota in sequential feeding (SF) than in continuous feeding (CF) for critically ill patients. We designed this non-blinded, randomized controlled study to confirm these results.

January 2025
Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, United States.
Article Synopsis
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant global health issue, leading to digestive dysfunction that complicates recovery and health outcomes.
- The mechanisms affecting digestion post-TBI include inflammation, the enteric nervous system, and hormonal changes, all of which can hinder neurologic recovery through the brain-gut axis.
- The article explores the pathogenesis of digestive issues after TBI, aiming to enhance treatment strategies and the long-term prognosis for patients by improving digestive function through recent technological advancements.
Case report: Pheochromocytoma-induced pseudo-Cushing's syndrome.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Internal Medicine and Endocrinology, University Clinical Centre of the Medical University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland.
Article Synopsis
- Non-neoplastic hypercortisolaemia, or pseudo-Cushing's syndrome (PCS), can occur due to various health conditions like depression, obesity, and diabetes, linked to overactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis.
- A 66-year-old woman exhibited symptoms such as weakness, weight loss, and poorly controlled hypertension, which led to the discovery of pheochromocytoma, a tumor that causes hormone overproduction, upon further testing.
- After undergoing surgery to remove the tumor and receiving supportive treatment, her symptoms improved significantly, confirming the diagnosis of PCS rather than traditional Cushing's syndrome.
