The toxicological role of Myricetin in the progression of human anaplastic thyroid cancer SW1736 cell line.

Aims And Background: Anaplastic thyroid cancer cells lack the capacity to effectively accumulate iodine and are therefore unresponsive to treatment with radioactive iodine. The main objective of this study was to examine the possible therapeutic effects of Myricetin on the SW1736 ATC cell line. In this study, we assessed the influence of Myricetin on iodide absorption, sodium iodide symporter gene expression, and apoptosis induction.

Clinical and radiological features of atypical adrenal masses- a multicenter retrospective study.

Context: The natural history and malignant potential of cases classified as atypical adrenal masses (AAMs) are unknown.

Objective: To describe the radiological characteristics and clinical outcomes of AAMs.

Design And Participants: A multicenter retrospective study.

Somatostatin receptor imaging of thyroid tissue and differentiated thyroid cancer using gallium-68-labeled radiotracers-a review of clinical studies.

Introduction: The rise in thyroid cancer incidence, especially papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), has underscored the need for improved diagnostic methods and management strategies. Herein, we aim to comprehensively review the evolving landscape in thyroid cancer diagnosis and the potential utility of Gallium-68 (Ga-68) based somatostatin receptor imaging.

Methods: We reviewed the clinical studies involving Ga-68 based radiotracers by looking at the following literature databases -PUBMED, EMBASE, WEB OF SCIENCE and COCHRANE.

RET gene fusion and emergent Selpercatinib resistance in a calcitonin-rich neuroendocrine carcinoma: a case report.

Metastatic lung neuroendocrine carcinomas provide diagnostic challenges in identifying the cell of origin. High level calcitonin expression is not pathognomonic for medullary thyroid cancer. Tumor mutation analysis may provide essential clues regarding tissue origin and treatment targets.

Diabetes, SGLT-2 Inhibitors, and Urinary Tract Infection: a Review.

Purpose Of Review: The aim of this review is to focus on epidemiology, pathogenesis, risk factors, management, and complications of UTI in people with diabetes as well as reviewing the association of SGLT-2 inhibitors with genitourinary infections.

Recent Findings: Individuals diagnosed with T2DM are more prone to experiencing UTIs and recurrent UTIs compared to individuals without T2DM. T2DM is associated with an increased risk of any genitourinary infections (GUI), urinary tract infections (UTIs), and genital infections (GIs) across all age categories.

A Benign Medullary Thyroid Cancer.

Metastatic dissemination occurs in up to 90% of patients with medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) greater than 4 cm in diameter, and elevated calcitonin levels of more than 500 pg/ml preoperatively have been shown to predict the failure to achieve biochemical remission. Herein, we present a patient with a large tumor and extremely elevated calcitonin level, who was subsequently found to show a "benign" behavior with no evidence of metastasis. The relatively benign behavior of this patient's MTC despite its size and extremely elevated calcitonin levels is thought to be suggestive of certain mutation types in MTC to be more associated with better prognostic outcomes.

A time to revisit the two oldest prandial anti-diabetes agents: acarbose and repaglinide.

Purpose: Compared with newer prandial anti-diabetes agents, repaglinide and acarbose are unique in being globally available in generic versions, being oral, and being the cheapest of all. The aim of this study was to compare their efficacy when used alone or in combination.

Methods: In a randomized, double-blind, prospective study, 358 recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, who on a combined therapy with metformin and insulin glargine had a fasting plasma glucose (FGP) of <7.

Coexistence of Two Different Thyroid Malignancies: A Collision Phenomenon.

The term "collision tumor" is described as the coexistence of two or more histologically distinct neoplastic morphologies separated by normal tissue in the same organ. Simultaneous papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) of the same thyroid lobe is a very rare pathology. Herein, we report a case of PTC and FTC of the same thyroid lobe.

Rosai-Dorfman Disease and Unusual Local Invasive Presentation.

Rosai-Dorfman disease (RDD) is a rare medical condition with bilateral painless lymphadenopathy. We present the case of a young man diagnosed with a very unique presentation of Rosai-Dorfman disease. A 40-year-old African-American man presented with a firm, non-tender, progressive chest and neck mass appeared three months ago.

Acarbose versus Repaglinide in Diabetes Treatment: A New Appraisal of Two Old Rivals.

Background: Acarbose and repaglinide are two safe and effective antidiabetic agents that are especially in wide use in Asian and Middle Eastern countries. These two prandial agents share some outstanding qualities that their newer counterparts do not. While globally available in generic versions, both are oral and cheap.

Glucocorticoid-Associated Demise of a Patient With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

We describe the clinical deterioration of a 26-yr-old man with Duchenne muscular dystrophy on oral daily high-dose deflazacort. Although this daily regimen was targeted to benefit ambulation and respiration, it resulted in premature death with lethal sequelae from liver failure, decubiti, diabetes mellitus, and morbid obesity. This case illustrates the need for further research weighing risk versus benefit of daily glucocorticoid therapy, specifically deflazacort, in Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients.
