BACKGROUND: Accurate assessment of estrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors is critical in predicting the response to endocrine therapies in breast cancer.MATERIAL AND METHODS: From a series of 360 patients with breast invasive carcinoma assessed for hormone receptors by...

Medical management of pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism: mitotane versus trilostane.

Topics in companion animal medicine

Reine NJ.
PMID: 22958794
Top Companion Anim Med. 2012 Feb;27(1):25-30. doi: 10.1053/j.tcam.2012.06.002.

Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism is a common endocrine disorder in dogs in the United States. Once a diagnosis is established, a decision must be made whether or not to pursue treatment, and if so, which medication to use. Historically, mitotane (Lysodren,...

Association of blood manganese level with diabetes and renal dysfunction: a cross-sectional study of the Korean general population.

BMC endocrine disorders

Koh ES, Kim SJ, Yoon HE, Chung JH, Chung S, Park CW, Chang YS, Shin SJ.

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between blood manganese levels and the prevalence of chronic diseases in the Korean population.METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study based on the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination...

Unilateral adrenal hyperplasia is a usual cause of primary hyperaldosteronism. Results from a Swedish screening study.

BMC endocrine disorders

Sigurjonsdottir HA, Gronowitz M, Andersson O, Eggertsen R, Herlitz H, Sakinis A, Wangberg B, Johannsson G.
PMID: 22958674
BMC Endocr Disord. 2012 Sep 08;12:17. doi: 10.1186/1472-6823-12-17.

BACKGROUND: The existence of unilateral adrenal hyperplasia (AH) has been considered a rare cause of primary hyperaldosteronism (PA).METHODS: In a prospective study we screened for PA in a non-selected (NSP) and selected hypertensive population (SP), to define the cause...

Mandibular reconstruction using an axially vascularized tissue-engineered construct.

Annals of surgical innovation and research

Eweida AM, Nabawi AS, Marei MK, Khalil MR, Elhammady HA.
PMID: 21418603
Ann Surg Innov Res. 2011 Mar 20;5:2. doi: 10.1186/1750-1164-5-2.

BACKGROUND: Current reconstructive techniques for continuity defects of the mandible include the use of free flaps, bone grafts, and alloplastic materials. New methods of regenerative medicine designed to restore tissues depend mainly on the so-called extrinsic neovascularization, where the...

The organochlorine pesticides residue levels in karun river water.

Jundishapur journal of natural pharmaceutical products

Behfar A, Nazari Z, Rabiee MH, Raeesi G, Oveisi MR, Sadeghi N, Jannat B.
PMID: 24624185
Jundishapur J Nat Pharm Prod. 2013;8(1):41-6. Epub 2013 Feb 13.

BACKGROUND: The organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) are among the most commonly used in water streams around the world. Most of these contaminants are highly hydrophobic and persist in sediments of rivers and lakes. Studies have suggested that OCPs may affect...

An endocrine hypothesis for the genesis of atrial fibrillation: the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis response to stress and glycogen accumulation in atrial tissues.

North American journal of medical sciences

Embi AA, Scherlag BJ.
PMID: 25535608
N Am J Med Sci. 2014 Nov;6(11):586-90. doi: 10.4103/1947-2714.145478.

BACKGROUND: The underlying role of intracellular glycogen in atrial fibrillation is unknown. Experimental models developed in the goat have shown an increase of intracellular glycogen concentration in atrial myocytes resulting from prolonged pacing induced atrial fibrillation (AF). These observed...

Use of mTOR inhibitors in the treatment of breast cancer: an evaluation of factors that influence patient outcomes.

Breast cancer (Dove Medical Press)

Jerusalem G, Rorive A, Collignon J.
PMID: 24833916
Breast Cancer (Dove Med Press). 2014 Apr 17;6:43-57. doi: 10.2147/BCTT.S38679. eCollection 2014.

Many systemic treatment options are available for advanced breast cancer, including endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) therapy, and other targeted agents. Recently, everolimus, a mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor, combined with exemestane, an...

Targeted Therapies Overcoming Endocrine Resistance in Hormone Receptor-Positive Breast Cancer.

Breast care (Basel, Switzerland)

Almstedt K, Schmidt M.
PMID: 26557821

Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with different molecular subtypes. Most tumours are hormone receptor positive (luminal subtype) with potential endocrine responsiveness. Endocrine therapy is commonly used in these patients. Disease progression caused by endocrine resistance represents a significant...
