... Abstract Introduction: To date, the microbiota associated with persistent endodontic infections has only been analyzed in patients who did not receive any antibiotic therapy for at least 3 months before endodontic treatment. In this clinical study, secondary endodontic infections...

... Abstract The pancreas is infrequently the site of secondary involvement by solid or hematopoietic malignancies. While carcinomas and melanoma are the most common malignancies to secondarily involve the pancreas, the literature is replete with reports of uncommon and rare entities metastasizing...

... restriction should not be used in hypovolemic patients, and it is particularly difficult to maintain in hospitalized patients with very elevated urine osmolalities secondary to high AVP levels (e.g., >500 mOsm/kg·H 2 O) because urine solute-free water excretion is very low; additionally, if the sum...

... Abstract Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP) is a frequent complication of kidney diseases. At variance with all the other forms of SHP, which are compensatory conditions, renal SHP has many pathogenetic peculiarities, which have been only in part defined. Furthermore, in the long course...

... Abstract The interplay between vitamin D and parathyroid hormone (PTH) represents one of the most important metabolic mechanisms of regulation of the calcium/phosphorus homeostasis. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is therefore a major complication that arises as a result of reduced vitamin D...

... Abstract Adrenal failure secondary to hypothalamic-pituitary disease is a common although underestimated and underdiagnosed condition, with serious consequences. Corticotropin deficiency can be isolated or more frequently occur in association with other pituitary hormones deficiencies. The most...

... Abstract Purpose: To analyze the ability of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) to detect the presence of myopic choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and to describe structural features of myopic CNV on OCT-A. Methods: Patients with CNV secondary to high myopia (>6...

... Abstract Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) is a significant cause of vision loss in all age groups. The most common cause of CNV is age-related macular degeneration (AMD). However, CNV can also occur as a secondary manifestation of various inherited and acquired conditions, including...

... role of the current NET therapies in this context. Finally, practical clinical suggestions regarding the management of diabetes secondary to GEP NET are provided as well. Neuroendocrine Tumors: Classification, Clinical Features and Current Therapeutic Strategies Neuroendocrine tumors (NET...

... This volume comprehensively describes the pathophysiological pathways that may lead adult patients suffering from different endocrine and pancreatic disorders to develop secondary diabetes. Drugs or procedures used to treat some of these conditions may also have diabetogenic consequences...

... which nourishes photoreceptors and the retinal pigment epithelium. The purpose of this study was to investigate the eye vascular involvement in patients with RP secondary to a suspected connective tissue disease by measuring choroidal and macular thickness using enhanced depth imaging-spectral domain...

... to induce Shh in the epithelium. These interactions are essential for normal growth and development of this region; in the absence of normal Shh signalling, mice develop a cleft of the secondary palate. Growth and patterning of the secondary palate are closely linked, with successive rugae forming within...

... Abstract Secondary osteoporosis is more difficult to define in children than in adults but clearer definitions have recently been provided by the International Society for Clinical Densitometry. Whereas in adults, osteoporosis is defined on the basis of reduced bone density on scanning...

... Abstract Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a serious complication of chronic renal disease when function decline and is characterized by abnormalities in serum calcium and phosphate profile, along with a decline in calcitriol synthesis. A reduced density of specific receptors for vitamin D...
