A 53-year-old woman of primary hyperparathyroidism with both ultrasound neck examination and planar 99m Tc-MIBI scan being negative revealed a tracer-avid focus in the left submandibular region in early (15 minutes postinjection) 99m Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT views, raising a suspicion of rare ectopic parathyroid adenoma. This finding was correlated on 4D-CT and confirmed on histopathology following surgical excision. Submandibular region is an unusual location for ectopic parathyroid adenoma.

Advances in artificial intelligence have propelled the identification of AKI subphenotypes, enhancing our capacity to customize treatments and predict disease trajectories.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature from 2017 to 2022, focusing on studies that utilized machine learning techniques to identify AKI subphenotypes in adult patients.
Article Synopsis
- - The pediatric Glucocorticoid Toxicity Index (pGTI) is a tool developed to measure the negative effects of glucocorticoids on children's health, specifically in those with pediatric-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE).
- - A study of 126 pSLE patients over several years found that many experienced significant toxicity, with the most frequent issues being high blood pressure (47%), mood disturbances (25%), and weight gain (21%).
- - The findings suggest that younger age, higher BMI, and the use of rituximab when beginning glucocorticoid treatment may increase the risk of cumulative toxicity, highlighting the need for tailored assessments to improve treatment strategies for
Background: Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis. Current therapies are unsatisfactory and novel cures are urgently needed. In a previous drug screening, we identified thonzonium bromide (TB) as one of the most active compounds against MPM cells.
