Fun Fact! Statin-associated muscle symptoms (SAMS) occur in 10–29% of patients, typically presenting as myalgia or myositis in the thighs or calves. Severe cases like rhabdomyolysis are rare. Genetic variations, especially in the SLCO1B1 gene, have been linked to a higher risk of developing SAMS during statin treatment.

Could SLCO1B1 genetic testing support safer, more personalized statin prescribing?

Current findings from our case may provide evidence for the potential use of somatostatin analogs in treating acromegaly patients diagnosed with meningiomas, particularly those cases that cannot be surgically removed,...

A 65-year-old woman with acromegaly and parasellar meningioma causing oculomotor palsy showed significant neurological and radiological improvement after oral octreotide dose escalation, suggesting somatostatin analogs may benefit non-surgical meningiomas.

ChiCTR2500099186. (Registration Date 2025.03.19) Clinical Trial Registry ( http://www.chictr.org.cn/ ).

In a cohort of 176 kidney transplant recipients, higher early post-transplant protein intake (≥1.4 g/kg/day) was associated with improved graft function, better lipid and hemoglobin profiles, and overall enhanced recovery outcomes.
