We report on a patient who presented with refractory subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus. The scaly annular and polycyclic patches/plaques, and hyperkeratotic lesions on multiple fingers improved rapidly after treatment with baricitinib.

The role of lysosomal acid lipase deficiency in dyslipidemia and liver disorders.

Cholesterol ester storage disease (CESD) is a rare autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the LIPA gene, leading to reduced lysosomal acid lipase activity, cholesterol ester accumulation, and systemic manifestations including liver dysfunction and dyslipidemia. We report the case of a 25-year-old male presenting with subacute jaundice, hyperbilirubinemia (total bilirubin 51 mg/dL, predominantly direct), and dyslipidemia characterized by elevated total cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol levels. Initial diagnostic workup for acute hepatitis and liver dysfunction, including serological and imaging studies, was unremarkable.

A man in his 60s suffered from refractory, biopsy-proven subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus that required chronic, moderate dose steroids to manage. His rash was accompanied by arthralgias and negative autoantibody testing. His subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) was responsive to tofacitinib, but thrombotic complications limited the use of this medication.

Article Synopsis
- Subacute cough is a specific type of cough lasting 3-8 weeks and is primarily caused by cough variant asthma, atopic cough, and sinobronchial syndrome, rather than post-infectious cough as previously believed.
- In a study involving 148 patients, 68.3% developed chronic cough, often stemming from multiple underlying conditions such as cough variant asthma combined with atopic cough.
- The findings highlight the need for careful diagnosis and treatment of multiple causes in patients with subacute cough to prevent progression to chronic cough.

Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare malignancy with aggressive behaviour and a poor prognosis. Patients can present with adrenal hormonal excess or with nonspecific symptoms driven by the presence of an abdominal mass or metastatic disease. Many are completely asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally.

Article Synopsis
- This study explores using human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) transformed into glia-like cells (ghMSCs) to improve recovery after ischemic strokes, which cause brain damage.
- Transcriptome analysis shows that ghMSCs behave like astrocytes and demonstrate better protective and regenerative qualities against brain injury than regular hMSCs.
- In rat models, transplanting ghMSCs improved behavioral function and reduced brain damage, with their effectiveness linked to CXCR2 signaling, suggesting a potential therapy for stroke recovery by promoting neuroplasticity.
