Previously, we showed that the expression of potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing 12 (KCTD12), which was discovered by a proteomics approach, is associated with high-risk behavior of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). Here, we examined the distribution and expression of this
Acute changes in electrolyte levels can result in severe physiologic complications. Rapid treatment of abnormally elevated potassium levels is essential due to the increased risk of potentially fatal cardiac arrhythmias. However, there are a number of circumstances that can lead to falsely elevated
Although corticosteroid treatment is clearly beneficial to patients with temporal arteritis, its exact risk/benefit ratio in these old and side effects-prone patients is unknown. We have thus surveyed that available French and English literature, in order to pool the published series and to evaluate
A 76-year-old woman (51 kg, 158 cm, body mass index 20.5) was admitted to the hospital because of an acute kidney injury with hyperkalemia. On admission, she reported progredient muscle weakness of all limbs for several days. Serum potassium level was dramatically elevated and ECG showed QRS with a
An 81-year-old lady was admitted to our hospital with a 3-year history of noninfective diarrhoea and recurrent syncopal events over the last 3 months. Her initial electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed trigeminy and prolonged QTc interval. She had a structurally normal heart with no coronary artery
