Article Synopsis
- Surgical manipulation of paraganglioma can trigger severe hypertensive attacks due to catecholamine release, but the specific risk factors for these attacks, particularly in rare tumors like those in the urinary bladder and retroperitoneum, were previously unclear.
- This study reviewed the cases of 32 patients diagnosed with paraganglioma over a 15-year period, focusing on factors such as mass size, patient demographics, and pre-operative symptoms to assess their relationship with hypertensive attacks during surgery.
- Results indicated that larger mass sizes were linked to a higher incidence of hypertensive attacks during surgery, with a cutoff size of 4.25 cm providing a significant predictive value; thus, surgeons should be cautious in handling larger masses to
Background: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-B*13:01 was reported as an important risk factor for dapsone hypersensitivity syndrome (DHS) in Chinese and Thai populations.
Research Design And Methods: From the Korean nationwide registry, seven subjects with previous DHS were included. Their HLA allele/phenotype frequencies were compared with 8 dapsone-tolerant subjects recruited from a single institution, and general population (n = 485) in Korea.
