Classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (CAH) is a rare genetic condition that results in cortisol deficiency and excess production of adrenal androgens. While the introduction of newborn screening for CAH has reduced morbidity and mortality, management of CAH remains challenging. Lifelong treatment with glucocorticoids is required to replace the endogenous cortisol deficiency and reduce excess adrenal androgens.

In this case, the message is conveyed that after ruling out sinister causes of hypotension, endocrine causes should also be considered, particularly in the light of a relatively long history, absence of any sepsis and organ dysfunction, preserved urine output, euvolemic status, and with no significant response to intravenous fluid. In our case, a patient with hypotension with relatively stable other clinical parameters has been evaluated to reveal pituitary macroadenoma as an underlying diagnosis.

Background: Pheochromocytoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor, and bilateral pheochromocytomas is even less common. Due to the limited experience with such cases, this study aims to explore the optimal surgical strategy, assess the potential advantages of robotic surgery, and evaluate surgical outcomes for managing bilateral pheochromocytomas.
Case Description: This report presented a case of a 33-year-old woman with bilateral pheochromocytomas related to multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2a (MEN2A), who was successfully managed by synchronous transperitoneal robotic-assisted bilateral cortical-sparing adrenalectomy.
This article provides an overview of treatment approaches for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). IgAN is the most common primary glomerulonephritis and results from an autoimmune reaction to aberrantly glycosylated immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibodies. Although historically considered largely benign, it is now recognized that a significant percentage of patients develop dialysis-dependent kidney disease over the years.

The gut-brain axis (GBA) is a complex communication network connecting the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) and the central nervous system (CNS) through neuronal, endocrine, metabolic, and immune pathways. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids, particularly eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), are crucial food components that may modulate the function of this axis through molecular mechanisms. Derived mainly from marine sources, these long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are integral to cell membrane structure, enhancing fluidity and influencing neurotransmitter function and signal transduction.
