We report a neonatal case of systemic pseudohypoaldosteronism type 1 caused by a novel mutation in the SCNN1A gene (homozygous c.1052+2dupT in intron 3) in which the patient presented with life-threatening hyperkalemia, hyponatremia and metabolic acidosis. It remains uncertain if there is genotype-phenotype correlation, due to the rarity of the disease. This mutation, which to our best knowledge has not been described before, was associated with a very severe phenotype requiring aggressive therapy.

Background: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) improve prognosis in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Nilotinib and ponatinib, second- and third-generation TKIs, respectively, have been reported to cause adverse vascular occlusive events such as myocardial infarction and peripheral arterial disease. However, little is known about the risk of cerebral infarction associated with severe cerebrovascular stenosis, which is a late complication of TKIs.

Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma (FL-HCC) is a primary liver tumour presenting at a young age. Aggressive surgery of FL-HCC is the mainstay of management unlike other malignancies where metastatic stage precludes curative surgery. There are limited reports of response of FL-HCC to systemic therapies predominantly owing to its rarity.

Background: An increase in the development of learning deficit occurred during estrogen-deprived periods via the increment of systemic and brain oxidative stress, brain apoptosis, and synaptic dysplasticity. Although estrogen supplementation has been shown to improve the brain function in estrogen-deprived conditions, it can lead to several adverse effects. Therefore, the novel therapeutic approach with minimal side effects to protect brain function in estrogen-deprived conditions should be further investigated.
