Background: Agitation in dementia is associated with poor outcomes, including mortality. However, the lack of a consensus definition of agitation has hampered research, historically driven by variable approaches to symptom identification. Accordingly, prevalence estimates range widely (5%-88%) and interventions are hard to compare meaningfully.

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) poses a significant public health challenge, contributing to considerable morbidity and mortality worldwide, which necessitates urgent preventive measures. Thyroid disorders, prevalent in many individuals, are intricately linked to metabolic health, yet studies on their relationship with T2DM yield inconsistent results-some suggesting an increased risk with abnormal thyroid hormone levels, while others indicate potential protective effects. This study investigated the association between changes in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and free thyroxine (FT4) levels and the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus.

We present a case of a 66-year-old man with a three-year history of Gleason 10 prostate cancer (PCa), who presented with penile pain, erythema, and induration of the penile shaft. His cancer was treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), radiotherapy, and apalutamide, resulting in PSA reduction; however, a solitary penile lesion persisted, necessitating radical penectomy. At 12 months post-surgery, PSA levels and magnetic resonance imaging findings remained stable, with no signs of metastasis.
