Rare thyroid non-neoplastic diseases

Rare diseases are usually defined as entities affecting less than 1 person per 2,000. About 7,000 different rare entities are distinguished and, among them, rare diseases of the thyroid gland. Although not frequent, they can be found in the everyday practice of endocrinologists and should be considered in differential diagnosis. Rare non-neoplastic thyroid diseases will be discussed. Congenital...

T1220 Endomicroscopic Video Retrieval Approach to Support Diagnostic Differentiation Between Neoplastic and Non-Neoplastic Colonic Polyps

G A A b st ra ct s accurate histopathology. Our aim was to explore whether CLE can be used for detection and characterization of ACF. In a prospective pilot-study, chromoendoscopy-guided CLE was performed to detect and characterize ACF in a group of patients at high-risk for colorectal cancer (CRC) and in a control group. Methods: Thirty-three patients who underwent CLE using the Pentax EC3870C...

Susceptibility to neoplastic and non-neoplastic pulmonary diseases in mice: genetic similarities.

Chronic inflammation predisposes toward many types of cancer. Chronic bronchitis and asthma, for example, heighten the risk of lung cancer. Exactly which inflammatory mediators (e.g., oxidant species and growth factors) and lung wound repair processes (e.g., proangiogenic factors) enhance pulmonary neoplastic development is not clear. One approach to uncover the most relevant biochemical and ph...

Emerging Roles of Hydrogen Sulfide in Inflammatory and Neoplastic Colonic Diseases

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a toxic gas that has been recognized as an important mediator of many physiological processes, such as neurodegeneration, regulation of inflammation, blood pressure, and metabolism. In the human colon, H2S is produced by both endogenous enzymes and sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB). H2S is involved in the physiological and pathophysiological conditions of the colon, such...
