Hypoglycemic encephalopathy is a metabolic desordre secondary to an extremely low blood glucose, It is a common complication in diabetic patients.
Here we report the case of a 27 year-old women with hypoglycemic encephalopathy, after injecting herself insulin for suicidal purposes.Cerebral MRI, especially DWI, can provide valuable information and play an
important role for the diagnosis of hypoglycemic encephalopathy.

Although the lifetime risk of strangulated hernia is low, 1-3%, hernia strangulation accounts for approximately 10% of surgical procedures for acute
ischemic bowel [3, 20]. Emergency abdominal hernia repairs have worse outcomes including elevated mortality, and increased need for reoperation
or readmission rates when compared to patients who underwent an elective repair [18]. Hernia defects of 3-4 cm, hernias located periumbilical, and
multiple adhesive bands within the hernia sac all increase the risk for emergency repair of hernias [18, 19, 20].

One of the innumerable pathologies that frequents oral surgery is the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor, (TOA) a tumor that over the years has been
studied and carried with it different theories about its origin and names. TOA is a benign, slow-growing neoplasm that can be observed clinically as an increase
in volume both extra and intraorally, it is asymptomatic and non-invasive. This same has been classified by the World Health Organization (2017) as an epithelial
odontogenic tumor with a varied histoarchitectural pattern of a mature fibrous stroma without odontogenic ectomesenchyme, with structures and with induction in the
connective tissue of variable degree1.

Toxicology is the study of the dangerous effects of organic substances on living organisms (Mercatelli et al., 2020). It is therefore the repetition of
establishing and handling toxic exposure as good drugs. The link between volume and effect on the object is of high importance in toxicology. Aspects
influencing organic noxiousness include volume, duration exposure (either acute or chronic), exposure route, type, age, gender, and environment (Ullah et
al., 2021). Toxicology currently contributes to the arena of Cancer research, as do other poisons that are regularly recycled as drugs to kill plant cells.

Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) is a rare inflammatory chorioretinopathy, first described by Gass in 19681. It is
classified as a white dot syndrome and has an estimated incidence of 0.15 cases per 100,000 people2,3. The most common presentation is bilateral.
It affects men and women equally, often during the 2nd to 4th decades. Its pathophysiology is not clearly understood, and the primarily affected region
of the retina is unclear4,5. Initially, it was thought that the disease primarily involved inflammation in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)6,7, producing
the characteristic placoid lesions.

Patients with Addison disease ( AD ) lack sufficient endogenous secretion of glucocorticoids (1). The treatment of AD usually involves lifelong glucocorticoid replacement
therapy, most usually oral hydrocortisone (HC).Nevertheless, glucorticoid replacement therapy usually produces cortisol levels higher than the normal physiological endogenous
secretion (2).
