Cowden syndrome is a rare genetic disorder, often linked to PTEN gene mutations, characterized by a predisposition to various cancers. We report the case of a patient presenting with papillary thyroid carcinoma revealing the syndrome, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management.

Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP) is a rare cause of chronic pancreatitis, accounting for approximately 2% of cases [1]. The association between Slowly Progressive Type 1 Diabetes (SPT1D) and AIP is poorly described in the literature [2]. We report the case of a patient presenting with concomitant AIP and type 1 diabetes, highlighting the possible involvement of a common autoimmune process affecting both the endocrine and exocrine pancreatic functions.

Pulmonary Vascular Hypertension (PVH) in early childhood is uncommon and often overlooked when children present with acute severe wheeze. We report a complex case of a 2‑year‑old girl with colorectal motility disorder, micronutrient deficiencies, immune dysfunction, and recurrent viral‑induced wheeze who developed sudden severe respiratory distress. Her presentation mimicked status asthmaticus but was ultimately attributed to foreign body aspiration and unrecognised pulmonary vascular…

Type 2 diabetes mellitus represents a major public health issue, and its complications extend beyond the strictly metabolic and vascular domains. In older adults, type 2 diabetes is now recognized as a significant risk factor for cognitive impairment, encompassing not only vascular dementia but also Alzheimer’s disease and mixed forms of dementia [1].

Crohn’s Disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease primarily affecting the terminal ileum and colon. Graves’ Disease (GD) is an autoimmune thyroid disorder characterized by hyperthyroidism. The coexistence of these two autoimmune conditions is rare and raises important questions regarding their shared pathophysiological mechanisms and optimal management strategies.

Introduction

Ischemic strokes associated with pituitary adenomas are rare events, mostly reported in the context of pituitary apoplexy [1, 2]. We report a unique clinical case of a pituitary macroadenoma revealed by a pontine ischemic stroke.

Introduction

Acromegaly is a rare endocrine disorder caused by excessive secretion of Growth Hormone (GH), usually from a pituitary adenoma [1]. Hirsutism, a condition characterized by excessive terminal hair growth in a male pattern in women, has been occasionally reported as a cutaneous manifestation of acromegaly but is rarely the presenting symptom [2, 3]. We report a rare case of acromegaly revealed by hirsutism.

Acute Liver Failure (ALF) is a rapid and severe clinical syndrome defined by the onset of liver dysfunction and encephalopathy within eight weeks of symptoms in healthy individuals, or two weeks following jaundice in those with pre-existing disease. ALF arises from diverse etiologies. Nursing management is a cornerstone of ALF care, requiring intensive monitoring of neurological status, hemodynamic stability, and fluid-electrolyte balance. Specific interventions include managing cerebral…

Osteoporosis is a "silent disease" characterized by reduced bone mass and increased skeletal fragility, making nurses' roles in education, prevention as well as holistic support, critical. Key nursing interventions focus on lifestyle modifications, fall prevention strategies, coordination of pharmacological therapy and psychosocial support. By promoting early screening, nurses can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporotic fractures. Specialized nursing…

Perspective Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly emerged as a transformative force in modern healthcare, enabling data-driven approaches to diagnosis, treatment planning, and clinical decision-making [1]. By incorporating techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, data mining, and natural language processing, AI systems are increasingly capable of analyzing complex clinical data and supporting personalized care [2]. One area that has recently gained attention is…
