[Struma ovarii associated with Graves' disease].

Hyperthyroidism is defined as an excessive production of thyroid hormones by eutopic or ectopic mature thyroid tissue. The overall prevalence of hyperthyroidism is 1.2% and the most common cause is Graves' disease.

Radioiodine thyroid remnant ablation after recombinant human thyrotropin or thyroid hormone withdrawal in patients with high-risk differentiated thyroid cancer.

To supplement limited relevant literature, we retrospectively compared ablation and disease outcomes in high-risk differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) patients undergoing radioiodine thyroid remnant ablation aided by recombinant human thyrotropin (rhTSH) versus thyroid hormone withdrawal/withholding (THW). Our cohort was 45 consecutive antithyroglobulin antibody- (TgAb-) negative, T3-T4/N0-N1-Nx/M0 adults ablated with high activities at three referral centers. Ablation success comprised negative (<1 μg/L) stimulated serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and TgAb, with absent or <0.

[Glycemic dysfunction prevalence post acute pancreatitis. A prospective study].

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of altered metabolism of carbohydrates in patients with mild acute pancreatitis.

Methods: We included 85 patients diagnosed with pancreatitis. We used to evaluate prognosis Balthazar and Ranson criteria.

[Effect of a single dose of zoledronic acid in a case of Paget bone disease].

Paget's disease is a chronic disorder of bone remodeling characterized by increase of bone resorption by atypical osteoclasts, followed by rapid increase in bone formation resulting in a disorganized mosaic bone. The biochemical marker for early diagnosis and monitoring is serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP). We report the case of a 90 year old male, with diagnose of Paget's disease.
