Article Abstract
The syndrome of inappropriate ADH-secretion (SIADH) is a common cause of low sodium levels with diverse aetiology. Here, we report a case of a 41 years old male patient diagnosed with SIADH and a good response to Tolvaptan therapy. Of interest, as a potential unique cause, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a micronodular structure in the posterior pituitary, while no other common cause of SIADH could be identified. Hence, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a Tolvaptan-responsive SIADH associated with a pituitary micronodular structure.

Airway obstruction is a distressing and potentially life-threatening complication in patients with advanced head and neck cancers, particularly squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the pharynx. This case highlights the clinical, ethical, and interdisciplinary complexities involved in managing airway compromise in the context of progressive disease and limited treatment options. A 75-year-old man with recurrent SCC of the soft palate, nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx, recently initiated on pembrolizumab and radiation therapy, presented with dysphagia, stridor, and intermittent tumor bleeding.

Systemic chronic active Epstein-Barr virus disease (sCAEBVD) can primarily involve skeletal muscle to form CAEBV-myopathy (CAEBV-M), which may resemble idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs). This study reports an 11-patient, 10-year cohort of CAEBV-M to summarize clinicoseropathologic features. CAEBV-M typically affects young adults (median: 29 years), with universal limb swelling, frequent disseminated muscle involvement (73%), and systemic symptoms like fever (82%), splenomegaly (82%), and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (55%).

Introduction: There have been growing efforts to identify predictors of Cerebral Vasospasm to facilitate earlier diagnosis and establish patient predictive models. This review discusses the implications of serum electrolytes, glycemic indices, and inflammatory markers in predicting the occurrence of aSAH-induced CV.
Methods: The literature was reviewed across PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google scholars, the National Center for Biotechnology Information, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, and the National Institutes of Health.

Variant classification in genetic testing often culminates in "uncertain" calls, known as variants of uncertain significance (VUS), which remain a major clinical challenge. Among the established criteria for variant classification, population allele frequency (AF) is fundamental, yet under-representation of non-European groups hinders accurate interpretation. In this study, we evaluated the impact of population-specific AF on the reclassification of VUS and conflicting variants in hereditary cancer genes.
