Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) usually presents with physical stigmata (poikiloderma, ectodermal dysplasia, juvenile cataracts…) and it´s associated with malignancies in patients with homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the RECQL4 helicase gene (RTS-II). Neoplasms include osteosarcoma in childhood and skin cancer later in life, with occasional malignancies affecting other tissues (leukemia, lymphoma and gastrointestinal adenocarcinomas). To ou...

Influence of bitter taste gene TAS2R38 on endocrinometabolic and anthropometric parameters in a sample with thyroid disease

Mendes Costa Marta , Carolina Santos Ana , Ferreira Joana , Mário Rui Mascarenhas , Bicho Manuel , Paula Barbosa Ana , Alda Pereira da Silva

Background and objectivesTAS2R38 is a bitter taste gene that can influence food consumption depending on its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) leading to aminoacid substitutions in the receptor protein P49A (proline/alanine), A262V (alanine/valine) e V296I (valine/isoleucine). Subjects with at least one PAV (proline-alanine-valine) copy are bitter tasters, while AVI homozygotes are non-tasters. Other variants have intermediate bitter tasting: AAV&#6...

IntroductionThe most common endocrine tumor is thyroid cancer. Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma (FTC) accounts for 5%10% of all thyroid cancers. Patients with FTC frequently present with more advanced stage diseases and a higher occurrence of distant metastases because of the propensity of vascular invasion. FTC are mainly treated with surgery while radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) is main adjuvant therapy as per ATA guidelines. In many developing coun...

IntroductionExtramedullary plasmacytoma (EMP) is a plasma cell neoplasm of extraosseous tissues. Less than 5% of all plasma cell neoplasms develop extramedullary. EMP is most common in the upper respiratory tract and oral cavity. The thyroid gland is one of the extremely rare regions. It is more common in men and the average age at diagnosis is 55. Primary thyroid plasmacytoma is one of the rare thyroid neoplasms. It often manifests as a rapidly growing ...

Emergency total thyroidectomy in a COVID 19 patient with Graves’ disease and pancreatitis induced by methimazole

Balas Melania , Varcus Flore , Daniela-Georgiana Amzar , Golu Ioana , Plotuna Iulia , Borlea Andreea , Silvia Corlan Ana , Vlad Mihaela

IntroductionThe use of antithyroid drugs is associated rarely with severe hepatotoxicity. Recently, due to several cases reported in the literature, acute pancreatitis was added as a severe potential adverse effect induced by methimazole. The physiopathology of methimazole induced pancreatitis is not fully understood (intrinsic toxicity or idiosyncratic drug reaction were proposed as possible mechanisms). If adverse effects occur and no other treatment o...
