OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to further elucidate the mechanisms of dual-phase technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile (Tc-MIBI) parathyroid imaging by exploring the association between early uptake results (EUR), delayed uptake results (DUR), and the retention index (RI) in dual-phase
The clinical syndrome congestive heart failure (CHF) has its origins rooted in a salt-avid state mediated largely by effector hormones of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). In addition, a systemic illness accompanies chronic RAAS activation. Its features include: the presence of
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is one of the most common endocrine disorders and defined as excessive secretion of parathormone. PHPT is a risk factor of several cardiovascular diseases, which could be caused by alterations in oxidant-antioxidant BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress is accepted as a non-classical cardiovascular risk factor in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of cinacalcet on oxidative stress biomarkers, oxidative DNA damage (8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine/deoxyguanosine),
Background: This is the first report from Taiwan using laboratory tests to assess nutritional status of patients with obesity before bariatric-metabolic surgery. Moreover, the 25(OH)D threshold for maximal suppression of parathyroid
BACKGROUND
Rampant production in skeletal abnormalities can lead to hyperoxidant stress though the production of "reactive oxygen species" (ROS) by osteoclasts, which assist in bone remodeling under physiological conditions.
METHODS
Thirty cases each of post-menopausal osteoporosis, renal
The multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene seems to be a tumor suppressor that encodes a 610-amino acid protein termed menin and that plays an important role in the development of MEN1 syndrome. Recent reports indicate that heterozygous germline mutations of this gene are responsible for
