Abstract Purpose Recurrence after pituitary surgery in Cushing’s disease (CD) is a common problem ranging from 5% (minimum) to 50% (maximum) after initially successful surgery, respectively. In this review, we give an overview of the current literature regarding prevalence, diagnosis, and therapeutic options of recurrent CD. Methods We systematically...
Abstract Purpose Struma ovarii (SO) is a highly specialized ovarian teratoma, consisting of thyroid tissue. Rarely, carcinomas histologically identical to their thyroid counterparts may occur, and are comprehensively defined as malignant struma ovarii (MSO). Their optimal management is controversial, and the molecular profile of the malignant counterpart in the ovary is incompletely known. In this study, the clinicopathological and...
Abstract Purposes We aimed to assess the effects of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) replacement therapy on metabolic changes by synthesizing data from clinical trials involving children with idiopathic growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). Methods Two investigators independently completed literature search, quality assessment, and data extraction....

Abstract Matrix vesicles (MVs) are extracellular membrane-bound vesicles of about ~ 50–200 nm in diameter that play a role in the bio-mineralization process of hard tissue formation. The present review is based on the empirical phenomenon of primary mineralization process via matrix vesicle-mediated mechanism with special reference to crystal ghosts as well as the mechanism on the organic–inorganic relationship between matrix vesicles and crystal ghosts, and the transformation...

Abstract Bone represents the second most common site of distant metastases in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC). The clinical course of DTC patients with bone metastases (BM) is quite heterogeneous, but generally associated with low survival rates. Skeletal-related events might be a serious complication of BM, resulting in high morbidity and impaired quality of life. To achieve disease control and symptoms relief, multimodal treatment is generally required: radioiodine therapy,...
