Dramatic devastative complications in a patient with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: A Case report and literature review.

Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a very severe form of the classic antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Although CAPS occurs in less than 1% of all patients with APS, it is considered a life-threatening condition. This report highlights an interesting case of a 45-year-old male diagnosed with CAPS.

Focal necrosis of the falciform ligament as a rare cause of abdominal pain: A case report.

The falciform ligament, a peritoneal fold that anatomically separates the right and left lobes of the liver, may infrequently be a cause of patients' complaints. In very rare instances, fatty appendages of the falciform ligament may undergo torsion, resulting in fat infarction. Despite its rarity, falciform ligament pathologies often mimic common abdominal issues, leading to misdiagnosis.

Sheehan's syndrome unveiled after decades without a diagnosis: A case report.

Sheehan's syndrome is defined as a postpartum infarction of the pituitary gland following hypovolemic shock due to obstetric hemorrhage. Sheehan's syndrome's symptoms are often subtle, and hence it is often overlooked. In this report, we discuss a case of an 82-year-old woman who developed severe postpartum hemorrhage after her last childbirth at the age of 37, which required multiple blood transfusions.

The Prevalence of Dyslipidemia and Hyperglycemia among Stroke Patients: Preliminary Findings.
