Article Synopsis
- Acromegaly is a disorder caused by excess growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), leading to distinct physical changes and various health complications in both humans and cats.
- A literature review highlighted similarities and differences in how acromegaly manifests in these species, including craniofacial changes, joint issues, and cardiometabolic risks.
- Both species experience growth-related problems and associated diseases, but unique symptoms like human-specific skin conditions and different physical changes in cats distinguish their presentations.

Article Synopsis
- Cutis verticis gyrata (CVG) is a benign scalp condition characterized by convoluted folds and deep furrows that can resemble brain structures, causing concern for patients and their families.
- Diagnosing CVG can be challenging, as it may be mistaken for other skin conditions, and the ultrasonic pattern had not been previously documented.
- A study of 14 patients revealed specific ultrasound findings, such as thickened dermal and hypodermal layers and undulating cutaneous layers, which can aid in diagnosing CVG and distinguishing it from other scalp dermatological issues.
