In the film Winchester (2018), Doctor Eric Price is addicted to laudanum due to his wifes suicide. In the novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy, the eponymous character becomes addicted to laudanum before committing suicide by jumping under a train. In the horror video-game Amnesia: Rebirth (2020), laudanum can be found scarcely, and can be used to decrease the player characters fear. In the Netflix adaptation of Julia Quinns novels Bridgerton (2020), when Baron Featherington, the Featherington patriarch is ambushed by gambling bookies, a bottle of laudanum poison is shown on the table and later the family learns of his off-screen death, presumably murdered. In the book series All the Wrong Questions (2012–15) by Daniel Handler, Who Could That Be at This Hour? (2012) Lemony Snickets tea had laudanum. Laudanum is mentioned and used throughout the series, mostly by The Inhuman society. It plays a major role in the plot of James Clavells historical novel Gai-Jin.
Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) is an inherited disorder, named for its similarity to pseudohypoparathyroidism in presentation. It is more properly Albright hereditary osteodystrophy although without resistance of parathyroid hormone as frequently seen in that affliction. The term Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is used to describe a condition where the individual has the phenotypic appearance of Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1a, but has (unexpected for the phenotype) normal labs including calcium and PTH.It can be considered a variant of Albright hereditary osteodystrophy, or Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A, as they present with the same constellation of signs and symptoms, including short stature, brachydactyly, subcutaneous calcification, and obesity. Presentation
Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism can be best understood by comparing it to other conditions:

Hormone resistance is not present in Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. Short stature may be present. Obesity is less common in Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism  than in Pseudohypoparathyroidism. Osteoma cutis may be present. Genetics
A male with Pseudohypoparathyroidism has a 50% chance of passing on the defective GNAS gene to his children, although in an imprinted, inactive form. Any of his children receiving this gene will have Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism. Any of his daughters that have Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism may in turn pass along Pseudohypoparathyroidism 1A to her children as the imprinting pattern on the inherited paternal gene will be changed to the maternal pattern in the mothers ovum during meiosis. The gene will be reactivated in any children who inherit it.Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism and pseudohypoparathyroidism both involve the same GNAS gene, but Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism has normal calcium homeostasis because of the normal maternal allele in the kidney.
