In a patient with congenital chloride diarrhea, the hyperreninemia, hyperaldosteronism, hypokaliemia and hypokaliuria diminished during treatment with prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor. These findings suggest that probably prostaglandins stimulate renin-aldosterone system in congenital chloride diarrhea.

Diarrhea associated with enteric infections, gut inflammation, and genetic defects poses a major health burden and results in significant morbidity and mortality. Impaired fluid and electrolyte absorption and/or secretion in the intestine are the hallmark of diarrhea. Electroneutral NaCl absorption in the mammalian GI tract involves the coupling of Na/H and Cl/HCO exchangers.

Myotonia congenita, both in a dominant (Thomsen disease) and recessive form (Becker disease), is caused by molecular defects in that encodes the major skeletal muscle chloride channel, ClC-1. This channel is important for the normal repolarization of muscle action potentials and consequent relaxation of the muscle, and its dysfunction leads to impaired muscle relaxation after voluntary or evoked contraction and muscle stiffness. More than 300 pathogenic variants have been found in association with congenital myotonia, inherited as recessive or dominant traits (with complete or incomplete penetrance).

At 4 months of age, a male dog was presented with a complaint of a stiff gait following a startle response. Neurological examination revealed no deficits, but clinical myotonia was easily induced upon requesting the patient to jump. Additionally, myotonia of the upper lip muscles was observed upon manipulation.

Due to the absence of blood vessels, cartilage exhibits extremely limited self-repair capacity. Currently, repairing laryngeal cartilage defects, resulting from conditions such as laryngeal tumors, injury, and congenital structural abnormalities, remains a significant challenge in the Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery. Previous research has often focused on enhancing the mechanical properties of synthetic materials.

Article Synopsis
- * A case study details an unusual instance of NDI in a 50-year-old Chinese woman who developed symptoms after cervical cancer surgery, leading to a diagnosis through various tests and genetic analysis revealing a specific mutation.
- * The patient improved significantly after a low-sodium diet and medication, highlighting the necessity of specialized tests to accurately diagnose and manage NDI, even in older females, where it's less common.
