Water intoxication is a life-threatening disorder accompanied by brain function impairment due to severe dilutional hyponatremia. We present a young woman who had multiple emergency admissions with severe dyselectrolytemias involving several electrolytes. Further assessment revealed a long history of chronic polydipsia and episodic water intoxication. Her serum electrolytes were normal after an overnight fluid fast. She had no further admissions after discussion and counseling concerning excessive water drinking. This case emphasizes the importance of obtaining an accurate fluid intake history in cases of hyponatremia and multiple electrolyte disturbances.

Ethylene glycol toxicosis is a common occurrence in dogs and cats but has been reported in other species as well. Up to date, only one case of ethylene glycol toxicosis has been described in horses, and specific guidelines for treating ethylene glycol intoxication in this species are not available. Here we describe the case of 39 sport horses that ingested water contaminated with ethylene glycol.

Background: The study aims to investigate the application of surgical vaginoscopy via a no-touch hysteroscopic approach for the management of female genital polyps. The primary objective is to assess the feasibility of this technique in treating intrauterine pathologies in both pregnant and non-pregnant women.
Methods: A total of forty-six patients diagnosed with genital polyps underwent operative vaginoscopy at a university-affiliated hospital between April 1, 2017 and May 31, 2023.

Aluminum chloride (AlCl), a known neurotoxic and Alzheimerogenic metal disrupts redox homeostasis which plays a pivotal role in pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders, particularly cognitive decline. The current study was designed to unveil the long-term neuroprotective outcomes and efficacy of CoQ10 and curcumin low dose (100 mg/kg each) combination in 18-months old geriatric male Balb/c mice subjected to AlCl-prompted memory derangements (200 mg/kg in water bottles) for 28 days. The neuroprotective properties driven by antioxidant mechanisms were assessed via observing cellular pathology in key-memory related brain regions including the cornuammonis (CA3 and DG) and cortex 2/3 layer.
