A complete gonadal dysgenesis (CGD) with 46,XY karyotype is known as the Swyer syndrome and belongs to the group of 46,XY differences of sex development (DSD). The main problem in patients with Swyer syndrome is the delayed puberty and primary amenorrhea. Moreover, intrabdominal dysgenetic gonads in the patient with genetic material of a Y chromosome may conduce to the development of gonadal tumors, such as gonadoblastoma or germinoma. The management of such patients is based on preventive excision of dysgenetic gonads and long-term hormonal replacement therapy. Sporadic cases are considered more common than familial cases. This paper presents two siblings with Swyer syndrome in whom gonadoblastoma was found. A thorough review of familial CGD with 46,XY DSD in the literature from the last 15 years suggests that the risk of gonadal tumors could be increased in familial compared to sporadic cases (66.6% vs. 15-45%, respectively).

Differences/disorders of sex development (DSDs) are a diverse group of congenital conditions that result in disagreement between an individual's sex chromosomes, gonads, and/or anatomical sex. The 46, XY DSD group is vast and includes various conditions caused by genetic variants, hormonal imbalances, or abnormal sensitivity to testicular hormones, leading to varying degrees of under-virilization. A 19-year-old phenotypically normal female from Kakamega, Kenya, presented with primary amenorrhea.

Background: Non-clinical voice-hearers (NCVHs) have been the subject of a growing body of psychological research, a primary aim of which is the development of new therapeutic techniques to support those who struggle with voice-hearing. However, relatively little research has examined non-clinical voice-hearing experiences beyond their relationship with clinical voice-hearing.
Methods: The present study consists of a qualitative re-analysis of 17 semi-structured interviews conducted as part of an NCVH neuroimaging study which included items from the Psychotic Symptoms Rating Scale (PSYRATS) and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS).

Article Synopsis
- - Perrault syndrome (PRLTS) is a rare genetic disorder leading to hearing loss in both men and women, and ovarian dysfunction specifically in females with a 46, XX karyotype.
- - A 26-year-old woman with symptoms like congenital deafness, ovarian failure, and high FSH levels was misdiagnosed multiple times before genetic testing confirmed her condition as PRLTS.
- - This case highlights the need for genetic testing and a multidisciplinary approach for better diagnosis and management of PRLTS, which poses significant diagnostic challenges due to its rarity.

Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) also known as hyperlucent lung syndrome is a condition that occurs as a complication of infectious bronchiolitis obliterans. It is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis of the affected area of the lung resulting in ventilation and perfusion mismatch ultimately leading to underdevelopment of the affected lung. A key feature used for diagnosis is unilateral small lung with hyperlucency on a chest radiograph.

Article Synopsis
- Swyer-James-MacLeod syndrome (SJMS) is a rare lung disorder that leads to underdeveloped blood vessels in the lungs, often causing emphysema and sometimes bronchiectasis.
- The exact cause is unclear, but SJMS is thought to stem from childhood respiratory infections like RSV and tuberculosis, with symptoms that are often vague and can delay diagnosis.
- A report of a 23-year-old Kenyan woman illustrates the challenges of diagnosing SJMS given her lengthy clinical history of respiratory issues, emphasizing the need for careful evaluation and possibly advanced imaging to identify the condition.
