Familial multinodular goiter syndrome with papillary thyroid carcinomas: mutational analysis of the associated genes in 5 cases from 1 Chinese family.

BMC endocrine disorders

Liao S, Song W, Liu Y, Deng S, Liang Y, Tang Z, Huang J, Dong D, Xu G.
PMID: 24144365
BMC Endocr Disord. 2013 Oct 21;13:48. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-13-48.

BACKGROUND: Familial papillary thyroid cancer (fPTC) is recognized as a distinct entity only recently and no fPTC predisposing genes have been identified. Several potential regions and susceptibility loci for sporadic PTC have been reported. We aimed to evaluate the...

Hypertension secondary to a periprostatic paraganglioma: case report and review of the literature.

BMC endocrine disorders

Kers J, Choudhry ZA, Roeleveld TA, Houdijk AP.
PMID: 24274233
BMC Endocr Disord. 2013 Nov 25;13:55. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-13-55.

BACKGROUND: Around 10 per cent of catecholamine-secreting tumours can be found outside the adrenal medulla (paraganglioma). We report a case of a functional sporadic paraganglioma that was localized lateral to the prostate without causing lower urinary tract symptoms.CASE PRESENTATION:...

Different thresholds of tissue-specific dose-responses to growth hormone in short prepubertal children.

BMC endocrine disorders

Decker R, Nygren A, Kriström B, Nierop AF, Gustafsson J, Albertsson-Wikland K, Dahlgren J.
PMID: 23116291
BMC Endocr Disord. 2012 Nov 01;12:26. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-12-26.

BACKGROUND: In addition to stimulating linear growth in children, growth hormone (GH) influences metabolism and body composition. These effects should be considered when individualizing GH treatment as dose-dependent changes in metabolic markers have been reported.HYPOTHESIS: There are different dose-dependent...

A case of masked toxic adenoma in a patient with non-thyroidal illness.

BMC endocrine disorders

Cho EA, Yoon JH, Kim HK, Kang HC.
PMID: 24383500
BMC Endocr Disord. 2014 Jan 02;14:1. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-14-1.

BACKGROUND: Non-thyroidal illness (NTI) refers to changes in thyroid hormone levels in critically ill patients in the absence of primary hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid dysfunction, and these abnormalities usually resolve after clinical recovery. However, NTI can be accompanied by primary thyroid dysfunction....

Gene expression of sternohyoid and diaphragm muscles in type 2 diabetic rats.

BMC endocrine disorders

van Lunteren E, Moyer M.
PMID: 24199937
BMC Endocr Disord. 2013 Oct 07;13:43. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-13-43.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes differs from type 1 diabetes in its pathogenesis. Type 1 diabetic diaphragm has altered gene expression which includes lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, ubiquitination and oxidoreductase activity. The objectives of the present study were to assess...

Medication utilization patterns among type 2 diabetes patients initiating Exenatide BID or insulin glargine: a retrospective database study.

BMC endocrine disorders

Pawaskar M, Bonafede M, Johnson B, Fowler R, Lenhart G, Hoogwerf B.

BACKGROUND: Type 2 diabetes is a common and costly illness, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite this, there is relatively little information on the 'real-world' medication utilization patterns for patients with type 2 diabetes initiating exenatide BID or...

Possible modulatory effect of endogenous islet catecholamines on insulin secretion.

BMC endocrine disorders

Borelli MI, Gagliardino JJ.
PMID: 11696250
