View Post 4 minute read This content is machine translated Psychiatric Self-Diagnoses When ADHD and Autism Suddenly Become “Trendy” RX Education Neurology Pediatrics Psychiatry and psychotherapy Identifying with a psychiatric disorder—or believing one has such a disorder without a formal professional evaluation (self-diagnosis)—seems to be becoming increasingly “trendy” among young people. Among other things, this is due to online content about mental health circulating on social media. Digital platforms can expose users to psychological concepts through personal narratives and diagnostic language, encouraging them to compare these descriptions with their own experiences—and, in some cases, to subsequently seek professional confirmation….

For this reason, appropriate topical preparations are used, among other things, to treat xerosis cutis. Humectants attract water through their hygroscopic properties and bind it in the stratum corneum. Evidence from clinical studies confirms that formulations containing urea and glycerin can provide long-term improvement in age-related xerosis….

CEP rarely occurs in association with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The coexistence of CEP and RA is rare, and CEP as the initial manifestation of RA is particularly unusual; physicians in the United States encountered such a case….

During his second hospitalization, he was in critical condition. The endocrinological evaluations subsequently initiated revealed that he was suffering from secondary pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA). This case report illustrates that PHA should also be considered in infants with known urinary tract anomalies and unexplained electrolyte imbalances….

View Post 20 minute read This content is machine translated Molecular Classification, FIGO 2023, and Chemoimmunotherapy Endometrial carcinoma RX CME continuing education Gynecology Oncology Studies Endometrial carcinoma was long considered the “benign” type among gynecological malignancies: it presents with symptoms early, is usually diagnosed at Stage I, and is curable by surgery. This characterization remains true for the majority of patients. For the minority with advanced or recurrent disease, however, almost everything has changed within just a few years. Molecular classification has evolved from a research tool to the standard for treatment planning; the FIGO classification has incorporated molecular parameters into its staging system, and the combination of chemotherapy and checkpoint inhibition has produced survival curves in the mismatch repair-deficient subgroup that were previously unknown for this entity.

They are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and the risk of arrhythmias is higher in patients with active PsA than in the general population. Identifying factors associated with these events could help define the causes of cardiovascular morbidity in this affected population….

Meanwhile, a Phase III study called DOUBLE PROTECT Alport (NCT05944016) has been launched to investigate the efficacy and safety of SGLT2 inhibitors as an add-on to standard therapy in patients aged 10–40 with genetic CKD (Alport syndrome)….

A 67-year-old woman had suffered from recurrent pneumonia since childhood; cystic fibrosis was not diagnosed until after decades of symptoms. This case report demonstrates that symptoms such as bronchiectasis, chronic productive cough, atypical pathogens, and gastrointestinal complaints should prompt CF testing even in older adults….

Based on the fundamental assumption that while fatigue and other long-COVID symptoms are real, they should be interpreted as neuroplastically stabilized protective mechanisms of the brain that have developed through learning processes, neuroplasticity offers the opportunity to reprogram dysfunctional patterns through targeted interventions….
