Ordering pattern and performance of biochemical tests for diagnosing pheochromocytoma between 2000 and 2008.

29 Jun 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine what tests are ordered by physicians for pheochromocytoma diagnosis and how those tests perform in modern clinical practice. METHODS: In this case series, electronic medical records of patients seen between January 2000 and ... Read more...

Neuroblastoma originating from extra-abdominal sites: association with favorable clinical and biological features.

10 Jun 2009 Neuroblastomas originating from different sites might have different clinical and biological characteristics. In the present study, the clinical (age, sex and stage) and biological (N-myc amplification, Shimada pathology and levels of lactate ... Read more...

Pheochromocytoma crisis due to glucocorticoid administration: a case report and review of the literature.

27 Feb 2009 We report a patient who presented with two episodes of severe hypertension after intramuscular injection of betamethasone. The first attack was associated with pulmonary edema, while the second attack was associated with high anion gap metabolic ... Read more...
