Pitfalls in the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome

Family Medicine & Primary Care Review, 2016
Background . Carcinoid syndrome (CS ) is a rare syndrome, most commonly associated with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN s) of the small intestine. Carcinoid syndrome consists of diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, cutaneous flushing, teleangiectasias ...

Earlier diagnosis of small intestine neuroendocrine tumours (SI‐NETs) through transformation of the South Wales NET service

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 4, April 2025.
Patients with small intestine neuroendocrine tumours (SI‐NETs) often face considerable delays in diagnosis. The South Wales NET service underwent a nationally commissioned, systematic transformation aimed at improving diagnosis through education and the development of referral networks.

Primary Hepatic Neuroendocrine Carcinoma Associated With Carcinoid Syndrome and Pellagra: A Case Report

Liver International Communications, Volume 6, Issue 1, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Carcinoid tumours are slow‐growing neuroendocrine neoplasms mainly affecting the gastrointestinal tract, the respiratory tree, ovaries and kidneys. Approximately 20% of patients with carcinoid tumour are affected by carcinoid syndrome, characterised by chronic diarrhoea and/or flushing in the presence of systemically elevated levels of ...

Syndrome Measurement Strategies for the [[7,1,3]] Code [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Quantum error correction (QEC) entails the encoding of quantum information into a QEC code space, measuring error syndromes to properly locate and identify errors, and, if necessary, applying a proper recovery operation. Here we compare three syndrome measurement protocols for the [[7,1,3]] QEC code: Shor states, Steane states, and one ancilla qubit by

Telotristat etiprate for carcinoid syndrome: a single-arm, multicenter trial.

Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2015
CONTEXT Carcinoid syndrome (CS) is associated with elevated serotonin, diarrhea, flushing, and increased risk of valvular heart disease. Many patients respond to somatostatin analogs initially, but response diminishes in most patients. Additional options

Skipping of Exon 20 in EP300: A Novel Variant Linked to Rubinstein–Taybi Syndrome With Atypical and Severe Clinical Manifestations

Clinical Genetics, Volume 107, Issue 3, Page 354-358, March 2025.
We propose that variants leading to the skipping of exon 20 in the EP300 gene result in a severe form of Rubinstein–Taybi syndrome (RSTS). In our study, we identified two patients with de novo variants, and in one case, we confirmed exon 20 skipping. DNA methylation analysis supported the RSTS diagnosis; however, the episignature did not align with the

Syndrome-aware Herb Recommendation with Multi-Graph Convolution Network [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Herb recommendation plays a crucial role in the therapeutic process of Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM), which aims to recommend a set of herbs to treat the symptoms of a patient. While several machine learning methods have been developed for herb recommendation, they are limited in modeling only the interactions between herbs and symptoms, and ...

Assessment of response to PRRT including anatomical and molecular imaging as well as novel biomarkers

Journal of Neuroendocrinology, Volume 37, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) is an effective treatment for both oncological and hormone control and is a widely accepted standard of care treatment for patients with neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN). Its use is anticipated to increase significantly, and this demands accurate tools and paradigms to assess treatment response post ...

A Case of Paraneoplastic Cushing Syndrome Presenting as Hyperglycemic Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Syndrome

Case Reports in Oncology, 2017
Carcinoid tumors are neuroendocrine tumors that mainly arise in the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and bronchi. Bronchopulmonary carcinoids have been associated with Cushing syndrome, which results from ectopic adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH ...

Is A Quantum Stabilizer Code Degenerate or Nondegenerate for Pauli Channel? [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
Mapping an error syndrome to the error operator is the core of quantum decoding network and is also the key step of recovery. The definitions of the bit-flip error syndrome matrix and the phase-flip error syndrome matrix were presented, and then the error syndromes of quantum errors were expressed in terms of the columns of the bit-flip error syndrome ...
