sialadenitis/potassium

The authors report a rare complication of nuclear bone imaging, iodide mumps, and describe its appearance on the subsequent radionuclide salivary gland study.

Thyroid complications resulting from excess iodide such as thyrotoxicosis, thyroiditis, sialadenitis, or hypothyroidism are much rarer after iodine supplementation with Lipiodol than with KI. They do not militate against its widespread use in endemic goiter populations, especially in pregnant women.

The human salivary glands represent a functional system with manifold responsibilities and interactions to the organism. The major and minor salivary glands show a common construction schedule consisting of an acinar functional system for the production of an enzyme- and mucin-containing primary

The Sjögren's syndrome is a systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic inflammation of the exocrine glands with extraglandular manifestations in up to 25% patients. Renal involvement occurs in 18.4-67% of cases, with tubulointerstitial nephritis being the most frequent pathology. We

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate serum and saliva fetuin-A, protein, and electrolyte levels in patients with sialolithiasis. Study Design Prospective randomized controlled study. Setting Tertiary center. Subjects and Methods Twenty patients with recurrent sialadenitis secondary to

The sialochemical parameters total protein, immunoglobulin A, lysozyme, amylase, sodium, potassium, calcium as well as flow rate were estimated in parotid saliva (PS) and submandibular saliva (SMS) in the course of differential diagnostics of salivary gland diseases. In addition to this the

OBJECTIVE Sialoliths are common in the submandibular gland and its duct system, although their exact cause of formation is still a matter of debate. The aims of this study were to: (a) analyze sialoliths ultrastructurally, and to determine the role of foreign bodies or organic materials in the
