Bulky Isolated Adrenal Metastasis as First Presentation of Occult Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) in a Patient with a Synchronous Squamous Carcinoma of the Tongue
The diagnostic workup of an adrenal mass should always rule out the possibility of an adrenal metastasis, especially in a patient followed-up for a known primitive cancer. Sometimes, however, the incidental finding of a bulky lesion in a cancer patient can lead to the unexpected diagnosis of metastasis from a second occult cancer. Here, we report the case of a voluminous, isolated left adrenal metastasis from unknown and persistently occult hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), incidentally found during the follow-up for squamous carcinoma of the tongue.

Anticancer Potential of Quercetin, Epigallocatechin Gallate, Kaempferol, Apigenin, and Curcumin against Several Human Carcinomas
Cancer remains a global health problem that requires constant research for the development of new treatment strategies. Flavonoids, a diverse group of naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds abundant in fruits, vegetables, and other plant sources, have received considerable attention for their potential anticancer properties. This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the current scientific literature on five specific natural flavonoids, namely quercetin, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), kaempferol, apigenin, and curcumin that have been widely reported in numerous carcinomas and evaluate their effectiveness and mechanisms in fighting different types of cancer. Known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, quercetin has shown promise in inhibiting cancer cells and modulating key signaling pathways. EGCG, a prominent catechin found in green tea, has been extensively studied for its ability to induce apoptosis and inhibit angiogenesis, highlighting its potential as an anticancer agent. Kaempferol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and has shown anticancer potential by modulating cellular processes involved in tumor development. Apigenin, abundant in parsley and chamomile, has been shown to exert anticancer properties by interrupting the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis in cancer cells. Curcumin has shown several anticancer effects, including inhibiting cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and modulating inflammatory pathways. Despite these promising findings, it is essential to recognize the complexity of cancer biology and the need for further research to clarify the precise mechanisms of action of these natural flavonoids and optimize their therapeutic applications. Furthermore, understanding flavonoids' potential synergy and interactions with traditional cancer therapies is paramount for developing effective combinatorial strategies. This review thus aimed to summarize the current knowledge on these natural flavonoids and provide insight into their potential role as an adjunctive or stand-alone therapy in the fight against breast, prostate, colon, lung, skin, ovarian, liver, and pancreatic cancer.
Likelihood of Laryngeal Involvement in Autoimmune Thyroid Disorder Patients: A Meta-Analysis
The involvement of the larynx in many situations can have a substantial impact on a person's voice, breathing, and general health. Individuals with autoimmune thyroid disorders can experience a variety of conditions affecting the larynx. Autoimmune thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis [HT] and Graves' disease [GD], are prevalent conditions affecting the thyroid gland. Beyond their established impact on thyroid function, these disorders have been associated with laryngeal involvement. The current study aims to explore the likelihood of laryngeal involvement in patients with Autoimmune Thyroid Disorders [AITD].

LINCRNA01094 Promotes Renal Interstitial Fibrosis via the Mir-513b-5p/MELK/Smad3 Axis
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a common chronic disease that is a threat to human health. Accumulating evidence showed that long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are associated with various diseases and can function as competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs). However, the roles and functions of the lncRNA‒miRNA-mRNA network in CKD are still unclear.
Ameliorative Effect of Herbal Medicine in the Management of Hepatotoxicity
Reactive oxygen species production, inflammation, an elevated serum profile, mitochondrial dysfunction, and up-regulation of proapoptotic mediators are the main mechanisms underlying chemotherapy-related hepatotoxicity, which results in hepatocyte disorders such as hepatitis, steatohepatitis, and fibrosis. The article aims to examine a prospective herbal remedy and its bioactive ingredients in terms of its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic capabilities, which offer superior protection against liver damage during chemotherapy administration. Plants including Silybum marianun, Nelumbo nucifera, Phyllanthus amarus, Plumbago zeylanica, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Citrus limon, and Nigella sativa may have hepatoprotective properties, according to the author. Last but not least, this will give aspiring scientists new knowledge for natural-based development in mitigating liver damage caused by chemotherapy medications.

Mobilizing Stockpile of Nature: Phytochemicals, Herbal Extracts, and Dietary Supplements for Managing Metabolic Diseases with Concentric Focus on Obesity
Obesity and associated health impairments are proven to exhibit multifocal health disorders along with increasing co-morbidity. Underlying obesity pathology is linked up with almost every major disease, which may increase the risk of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, osteoarthritis, etc. The prevalence of overweight and obesity is on the rise around the world, which enormously affects the life span of individuals. Due to the foggier nature of the underlying pathology, the efficacy is questionable for conventional treatments. The traditional therapy of obesity may involve synthetic moieties and surgical procedures, which have many harmful side effects and chances of recurrent severity. Scientists are continuously focusing on prophylactic remedies alongside maintaining a proper lifestyle. In that context, nature always helped with traditional medications. As per folklore medicine reports, many plants have been used to treat obesity and its associated complications. This review compiles a vast array of datasets, including the impact of obesity and the need for the introduction of phytochemicals in place of conventional pharmacotherapies, the impact of phytochemicals along with the reported mechanisms of action, recent clinical trial reports, and recently explored dietary supplements. The primary objective of this presentation is to chart the future trajectory of phytochemical research for metabolic disorders, establishing a foundational framework for future investigations to build upon.
Associative Learning in Subclinical Hypothyroidism at Different Ranges of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone: A Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Study of Visual Paired Association Learning Task
