No international treatment standard for B12 deficiency exists. Current practice predominantly relies on more than 50 years old data. Consequently, this review investigates that we still recommend five injections with 1 mg B12 over 10 days followed by maintenance therapy with 1 mg oral B12 daily or injections, of which the interval is guided by symptom relief rather than normalization of biomarkers.

Management of disseminated or metastatic pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas continues to pose challenges and relies on limited evidence.
Method: In this study, we report retrospective data on median overall survival (OS) and median progression-free survival (PFS) for all Danish patients treated with peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with Lu-Dotatate or Y-Dotatate over the past 15 years.
A man presents a 4 mm skin tumour at his general practitioner. The tumour is removed on the suspicion of a dermatofibroma.

Ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) treatment attenuates fibrosis progression in PBC patients, but its effect on macrophage activation is unclear. We examined the effect of UDCA on macrophage activation, as determined by sCD163 levels.
