paraneoplastic syndromes/アルギニン

Direct measurement of arginine-vasopressin/antidiuretic hormone (AVP/ADH) concentrations is not included in the standard diagnostic procedures for paraneoplastic syndrome of inappropriate ADH secretion (SIADH). Here, we evaluate the potential of copeptin measurement as a surrogate marker of AVP/ADH

Paraneoplastic syndromes rarely affect patients with head and neck cancer. Four patients with different histological types of head and neck cancer are presented in which the primary malignancy was preceded and/or accompanied by a paraneoplastic syndrome. In the first patient erythrodermia preceded

OBJECTIVE The syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) has been reported as a paraneoplastic syndrome in many different types of malignancies. Several case reports of SIADH have been reported in patients with olfactory neuroblastoma (ONB), but the exact incidence is unknown.

Based upon the pertinent literature, the paraneoplastic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH) in patients with small cell lung cancer is reviewed. Small cell lung cancer is a distinct tumor with neuroendocrine features capable of producing peptide hormones amongst which

BACKGROUND Among the numerous paraneoplastic syndromes of the lung carcinoma, metabolic manifestations are of the particular clinical relevance. They are the consequence the prominent neurosecretory activity of certain peptides and hormones, mostly within amine precursor uptake and decarboxylation

Anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs), produced against citrullinated proteins, are diagnostic and prognostic markers of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The underlying mechanism that explains the connection of smoking, citrullination [catalyzed by peptidyl arginine deiminases (PADs)] and ACPAs is
