Pseudohyponatremia is frequently misunderstood and often mistaken for other types of hyponatremia. In this study, we present a case of pseudohyponatremia resulting from hypertriglyceridemia. We provide an in-depth analysis of the pathophysiological mechanisms involved, comparing them with those of other hyponatremic disorders, and outline the diagnostic approach used to identify this atypical form of hyponatremia. Recognizing and accurately diagnosing non-hypo-osmolar hyponatremia is paramount, as these conditions are treated differently than other forms of hyponatremia.

Introduction: After the neonatal period Eimeriosis is one of the most common causes of large intestinal diarrhea in calves. In contrast to neonatal calves with diarrhea, there are very few reports about the clinicopathological alterations in affected animals, which are mainly based on experimental data. The aim of the present study was therefore to characterize acid-base and related clinicopathologic alterations in calves with Eimeria-associated diarrhea and to identify variables associated with in-hospital mortality.

Introduction: Hyponatraemia has been suggested to be associated with morbidity and mortality among various medical disorders. Evidence on the association between stable-state hyponatraemia and prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is lacking.
Methods: All COPD patients followed up in a regional hospital in year 2015 were included, with their clinical outcomes reviewed in the subsequent eight years.

Chyle leak is a rare complication following nephrectomy and may result in chylous ascites. A patient in her 70s was diagnosed with a left renal tumour and underwent a robotic-assisted radical nephrectomy. She presented 9 days post discharge with chyle leaking from the left port site wound, which settled after 2 days of inpatient monitoring.

Background: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) astrocytosis is a rare autoimmune encephalitis discovered in the last decade. The diagnosis depends on clinical symptoms, imaging, and antibody testing. However, most cases require several months or even longer to make a definite diagnosis.
