DAMP Signaling is a Key Pathway Inducing Immune Modulation after Brain Injury [PDF]
Acute brain lesions induce profound alterations of the peripheral immune response comprising the opposing phenomena of early immune activation and subsequent immunosuppression. The mechanisms underlying this brain-immune signaling are largely unknown. We

Abstract Background In neuroblastoma (NB), urinary catecholamine excretion and 123ImIBG avidity—depending on tumor enzymatic activity and norepinephrine transporter expression, respectively—are diagnostic standards. The prognostic impact of atypical NB, without urinary catecholamine excretion and/or 123ImIBG avidity, remains to be determined. We sought

Differences in Clinical Presentation Between Pheochromocytomas and Paragangliomas
ABSTRACT Objectives Pheochromocytomas and sympathetic paragangliomas (PPGLs) are similar in most aspects. However, they differ in genetic etiology, hormonal secretion, and associated neoplasms. This study aimed to investigate differences in clinical presentation between PPGLs. Design This study employs a retrospective cohort design. Patients The cohort
