Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), a rare neuroendocrine tumor comprising 3-5% of thyroid cancers, arises from calcitonin-producing parafollicular C cells. Despite aggressive behavior, surgery remains the primary curative treatment, with limited efficacy reported for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Recent efforts have explored the pathogenetic mechanisms of MTC, identifying it as a highly vascularized neoplasm overexpressing pro-angiogenic factors.

The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a glycol-lipid that anchors several proteins to the cell surface. The GPI-anchor pathway is crucial for the correct function of proteins involved in cell function, and it is fundamental in early neurogenesis and neural development. The PIG gene family is a group of genes involved in this pathway with six genes identified so far, and defects in these genes are associated with a rare inborn metabolic disorder manifesting with a spectrum of clinical phenotypes in newborns and children.

Objective: To assess the sclerostin, β-catenin, and tryptase expression in fibro-osseous lesions (FOL) of the jaws.
Subjects And Methods: Immunohistochemistry analysis was performed for these proteins on FOL and non-lesional bone. The sclerostin-positive cells were scored from 0 (no expression) to 3 (high expression).

Vertigo, including central and peripheral causes, is one of the common symptoms in patients who are admitted to neurological outpatient and emergency rooms. Despite the advancements in imaging techniques in recent years, central vertigo is difficult to identify and is often misdiagnosed in clinical practice. In this study, 4 patients were admitted to the hospital with complaints of dizziness or vertigo.

Objectives: To explore the association of the cortico-medullary difference in apparent diffusion coefficient (ΔADC) with clinicopathological parameters of disease activity at the time of biopsy, and with the prognositic risk stratification in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients.
Methods: We included 112 patients with biopsy-proven IgAN who measured ΔADC. Patients underwent a kidney biopsy and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging within one week of the biopsy.
