1. Non-alpine primary thyroid angiosarcoma
SUMMARY Thyroid angiosarcoma is an extremely rare malignancy, which occurs more frequently in the alpine region, likely associated with iodine deficiency and endemic goiter. This is an aggressive neoplasm that usually harbors a poor prognosis. We report the case of a 49-year-old Portuguese female patient presenting with a large nodule in the anterior neck re

2. Is there a place for measuring serum calcitonin prior to thyroidectomy in patients with a non-diagnostic thyroid nodule biopsy?
ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the cytopathological Bethesda System classification of thyroid nodule fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in MTC patients and to assess the role of preoperative serum calcitonin (CT) levels in the investigation of this neoplasm in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) patients under observation at the Uopeccan (União Oeste Paranaens

3. Association of sonographic features and clinicopathologic factors of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma for prevalence of lymph node metastasis: a retrospective analysis
ABSTRACT Objective: The objective of the study was to develop an association between clinicopathologic and sonographic features of patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma and the prevalence of lymph node metastasis. Subjects and methods: Clinicopathologic and sonographic features of 415 patients of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma with (n = 102) or

4. Association between calcitonin receptor gene polymorphisms and calcium stone urolithiasis: A meta-analysis
ABSTRACT Purpose It has been reported that calcitonin receptor (CALCR) gene polymorphisms might be associated with calcium stone urolithiasis. Owing to mixed and inconclusive results, we conducted a meta-analysis to summarize and clarify this association. Materials and Methods A systematic search of studies on the association between CALCR gene polymorphis

5. Modulatory effects of neuropeptides on pentylenetetrazol-induced epileptic seizures and neuroinflammation in rats
RESUMO OBJETIVO Nosso objetivo foi explorar os efeitos dos neuropeptídeos grelina, obestatina e peptídeo intestinal vasoativo (VIP) nas convulsões e concentrações plasmáticas de biomarcadores neuroinflamatórios, incluindo peptídeo relacionado ao gene da calcitonina (CGRP), substância-P (SP) e interleucina-1 beta (IL-1β) em convulsões induzidas p

6. Expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide and pulp sensitivity tests in irreversible pulpitis
Abstract The aim of the present study was to identify the relationship between the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and the responses of pulp sensitivity tests in healthy pulps and irreversible pulps by performing a cross-sectional study on patients. Two hundred subjects were evaluated. A total of 75 subjects complied with the criteria. T

7. Serum calcitonin nadirs to undetectable levels within 1 month of curative surgery in medullary thyroid cancer
ABSTRACT Objective: Because serum calcitonin (CT) is a reliable marker of the presence, volume, and extent of disease in medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), both the ATA and NCCN guidelines use the 2-3 month post-operative CT value as the primary response to therapy variable that determines the type and intensity of follow up evaluations. We hypothesized that t

8. Effect of intracanal diode laser application and low-level laser therapy on CGRP change
Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a placebo, intracanal diode laser application, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on the change of the total amount of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) (split-mouth study design). GCF sampling was performed on a contralateral tooth and experimental t

9. Migraine treatment: the doors for the future are open, but with caution and prudence
RESUMO A migrânea é incapacitante. Os tratamentos atuais apresentam resultados abaixo do desejado. O conhecimento atual indica alvos nos quais o bloqueio pode melhorar a eficácia do tratamento. Isso é mais claro com o peptídeo relacionado ao gene da calcitonina (CGRP) e anticorpos monoclonais contra este peptídeo ou seu receptor interferem com a fisiop

10. Humoral hypercalcemia of pregnancy treated with bisphosphonates
SUMMARY Hypercalcemia can be hazardous during pregnancy, most cases being due to primary hyperparathyroidism. We report a case of hypercalcemia with suppressed PTH levels necessitating treatment with bisphosphonates during pregnancy. A 38-year-old woman at the 26th week gestation was admitted because of symptomatic hypercalcemia. She did not take any medicat

11. Use of cinacalcet and sunitinib to treat hypercalcaemia due to a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor
SUMMARY Neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) can secrete hormones, including ectopic secretions, but they have been rarely associated with malignant hypercalcemia. A 52-year-old man with a history of diabetes mellitus was diagnosed with a pancreatic tumor. A pancreatic biopsy confirmed a well-differentiated pancreatic NET (pNET). The patient subsequently developed l

12. Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare and the unpredictable course of hypercalcemia in an AIDS patient
Abstract A 37-year-old man with AIDS presented with altered mental status four weeks after stopping his medications for Mycobacterium avium-intracellulare (MAI). He had low CD4 cell count and severe hypercalcemia. Bone marrow biopsy revealed bone marrow infiltration by granulomas positive for acid-fast bacilli and cultures grew MAI. His hypercalcemia continu
