56-year old woman was operated of a pancreatic NET in May 2011. Abdominal pain had led to imaging and consecutively the finding of cholecystolithiasis and the tumor. The gall bladder, left hemi-pancreas, regional lymph nodes and the (unintentional injured) spleen were resected. At routine control examination in October 2012 CT presented three contract enhancing intra-abdominal lesions with a di...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Our study aimed to assess the sensitivity of EUS and EUS-FNA for pancreatic neuro-endocrine tumors (pNETs) and compare performance over two consecutive 4 year 2 month periods, to investigate the comparative performance between solid and cystic pNETs and determine the incremental yield of EUS +/- FNA in individuals with a mass not diagnosed as a pNET after cross-sectional ima...

Carcinoid tumour is a rare entity accounting for less than two percent of bronchial neoplasms. They are rare welldifferentiated, neuro-endocrine tumors, with low-grade malignancy. They are distinguished in two different groups: typical and atypical carcinoid. Typical and atypical carcinoids differ in their biological behavior and prognosis. Atypical bronchial carcinoid tumor is still rare. We r...

Introduction Breast cancer is a complex disease which constitutes the leading cause of in women globally. Conventional treatment modalities include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and hormonal therapy; all have their limitations often result significant side effects or toxicity. Targeted radionuclide therapy based on theranostic approach, has been successfully applied several malignan...

Phenytoin (Diphenyl Hydantoin or Dilantin) is highly effective and widely prescribed anticonvulsant agent used in the treatment of grand mal and psychomotor epilepsy. Phenytoin has been used to treat thought, mood and Behavior disorders, cardiovascular disorders, Neuro muscular disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, Endocrine disorders.

Various prostaglandins (PGs) have been found in several areas of the brain. PGs of the E series have been found in the pituitary and pineal glands and the median eminence, and they have been shown to influence hypothalamic endocrine-release characteristics and release of melatonin from the pineal gland. It has been suggested that they may act, along with membrane phospholipids, as a link betwee...

Long-term endocrine disorders are the most frequent complications in survivors of adult and paediatric nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). The hypothalamic-pituitary (h-p) axis lies within the field of radiation therapy for NPC. Consequently, neuro-endocrine abnormalities due to radiation-induced damage of the h-p occur in the majority of patients followed long term. Similarly, radiation injury to ...
