Restoration of reproductive capacity in a male patient with congenital adrenal hyperplasia and bilateral testicular adrenal rest tumors (TARTs) after six months of glucocorticoid intensification: A case report.

Rationale: Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is considered one of the most common inherited disorders. In about more than 95% of all CAH cases, the deficient enzyme is 21-hydroxylase. Infertility is an important complication of this disease, and although this topic has been studied more frequently in females, cases, and literature reviews of the causes of infertility in male patients are constantly increasing.

Harmonizing Medicine and Surgery in the Pursuit of Boolean Remission: A Rheumatological Magnum Opus.

Rheumatic diseases encompass a diverse group of musculoskeletal conditions that often lead to inflammation, pain, and significant limitations in patients' lives. While traditional treatment approaches have primarily centered on medications to control symptoms, recent developments have introduced the concept of Boolean remission. Boolean remission offers a comprehensive evaluation of disease activity by considering clinical, biochemical, and patient-reported outcomes.

Rare giant renal artery aneurysm in neurofibromatosis type 1 patient: a case report.

Introduction And Importance: Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a genetic disorder characterised by multiple neurofibromas, café-au-lait spots, and iris hamartomas. The variety of vasculopathies that can occur in NF1 make it difficult for clinicians to accurately follow-up patients. Most cases of vasculopathies are stenotic, and, in few cases, aneurysms may form.
