Management of post‐implant fibrous dysplasia in the maxilla: A case study
Abstract Background Fibrous dysplasia is generally rare, and even rarer in older adults. Special care is needed when altering the alveolar bone in these cases, especially if an implant is involved. This case study highlights such a scenario. Methods This case study details the experience of a 63‐year‐old African American female who presented with a ...

Objective assessment of functional and motor-cognitive outcomes among asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism patients undergoing parathyroidectomy using wearable technologies: a pilot study towards better informed clinical decision-making [PDF]
For the past 40 years, most patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) have presented with the asymptomatic form of PHPT. Despite the dominance of the asymptomatic PHPT phenotype, current National Institutes of Health (NIH) indications for ...

Mutations of the ret protooncogene in German multiple endocrine neoplasia families: Relation between genotype and phenotype. [PDF]
It has been suggested that not only the position but also the nature of the mutations of the ret protooncogene strongly correlate with the clinical manifestation of the multiple endocrine neoplasm type 2 (MEN 2) syndrome.
