Introduction: Diagnosis and localization of offending glands in hyperparathyroid patients is a subject that has always concerned surgeons. Until two decades ago this could only be achieved through complete neck exploration by the surgeon. In recent decades, with introduction of better imaging techniques such as advanced sonography and isotopic scans, remarkable progress has been made in this ...

BACKGROUND Prior studies suggest that histamines may modulate the development of colorectal neoplasia. AIM To assess whether histamine receptor antagonist use was associated with adenoma formation. METHODS Patients (n = 2366) were drawn from three adenoma chemoprevention trials. All underwent baseline colonoscopy with removal of adenoma(s) and were deemed free of remaining lesions; they wer...

ectopic paratliyroid adenoma might create a clinical dilemma in patients with hypercalcemia. radioisotopic scan is a sensitive and noninvasive method which can be useful in these patients. in this report a case of ectopic parathyroid adenoma is presented and the usefulness of tc-99m-mibi scintigraphy as compared with other modalities is discussed.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE High signal intensity (HSI) at the pituitary stalk is reported in pituitary adenomas. Our purpose was to clarify how and when this HSI formed, its long-term fate, and its relation to the function of infundibuloneurohypophyseal (INH) system. METHODS Twenty-two patients with pituitary adenoma and supradiaphragmatic extension underwent 1.5-T MR imaging. Patients were assig...

conclusions radiofrequency ablation may be used successfully in the treatment of parathyroid adenoma when a patient cannot tolerate surgery. case presentation a 47-year-old patient was referred to our hospital (namazi hospital, shiraz, iran) in april, 2015 with intracranial hemorrhage, as well as high serum calcium and pth (parathyroid hormone) levels (12.1 mg/dl and 1062 pg/ml, respectively), ...

introduction: salivary gland tumors (sgts) are important parts of human neoplasms. the most common sgt is pleomorphic adenoma and the most common malignant sgts are mucoepidermoid carcinoma and adenoid cystic carcinoma (acc). metastasis-associated genes 1 (mta1), a member of the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex, is one newly discovered gene which recruits histone deacetyl...

Background Neoplastic adenomatous polyps generating from the epithelial cells are considered benign tumors. Adenomatous polyps are common in western countries and it can take seven to 10 or more years for an adenoma to evolve into cancer.  The Hippo signaling pathway, also known as the Salvador-Warts-Hippo (SWH) pathway, is a signaling pathway that controls organ size in animals through the r...
