involvement of the peripheral nervous system is one of the complications of multiple myeloma with a varying incidence of clinical and subclinical neuropathy in different studies. as most of the patients with multiple myeloma suffer from generalized systemic symptoms such as malaise, bone and low back pain, the clinical clues to the diagnosis of the neuropathy in its initial stages could be igno...

atypical presentation is the most common form of celiac disease (cd). although the terminologies like latent, silent and potential have expressed different aspects of clinical and pathological behaviour of cd, they also have contributed in some extent to confusion between clinicians and patients due to the multiple definitions and uncertainty around them. in the light of new advances and the di...

Subclinical hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are diagnoses based on laboratory evaluation with few if any clinical signs or symptoms. Subclinical hypothyroidism is defined as an elevation in serum thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) above the upper limit of the reference range (0.45-4.5 mIU/L) with normal serum FT4 concentration; subclinical hyperthyroidism is defined as a decrease in serum TSH...

Health service today is on the verge of broad changes. The intensive practical application of the achievements of genomics, proteomics, metabolomics and bioinformatics has significantly deepened and continues to deepen our view of the pathological processes taking place at a level of biostructures. In the nearest future this progress will give medical practitioners the opportunity to focus on a...
