We report the first patient with subacute thyroiditis after influenza vaccination in Japan. A 49-year-old woman received a seasonal influenza vaccination in October 2009. She also received a seasonal influenza vaccination in 2008. After the vaccination, she experienced spontaneous pain and tenderness in the right lower neck. Together with the results of laboratory examinations and thyroid ...<br/><br/>Fumiatsu Yakushiji, Kenji Ohnishi, Mutsuko Yasuda, Taiichiro Kobayashi, Hiroyuki Kinoshita (2011) <i>Drugs and Therapy Studies</i> 1: 1 e10<br/>

DiGeorge syndrome - a component of the 22q11 deletion syndrome - causes a disturbance in cervical neural crest migration that results in parathyroid hypoplasia. Patients can develop hypocalcemia-induced seizures. Spina bifida is caused by failure of neurulation, including a disturbance in the adhesion processes at the neurula stage. Spina bifida has been reported as a risk factor for epilepsy.

Lymphoma is one of the causative factors of hypothalamus-pituitary dysfunction, and intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a subtype of primary extranodal neoplasm. A 69-year-old woman visited our hospital because of general fatigue. We diagnosed her with presumable non-functional primary pituitary adenoma and subsequent dysfunction.

Lugol's solution is an iodinated agent used for treating thyroid crisis. It is primarily used in diagnostic tests for esophageal diseases. However, Lugol's solution can cause local mucosal injury and hemorrhage. We report, for the first time, a case of 34-year-old man who exhibited severe duodenal hemorrhage induced by Lugol's solution that was used to treat thyroid crisis.

BACKGROUND: Insulin injection pens have been primarily developed for self-injection among individuals with diabetes. However, an increased elderly population with diabetes has caused an increase in the number of patients who cannot self-inject insulin. Consequently, caregivers inject insulin to the patients ("other-injection"); however, insulin injection devices have not yet been developed for oth...<br/><br/>Fumiatsu Yakushiji, Hiroshi Fujita, Yoshiyasu Terayama, Mutsuko Yasuda, Kaoru Nagasawa, Masako Shimojo, Ken Taniguchi, Kazuhiko Fujiki, Jyunji Tomiyama, Hiroyuki Kinoshita (2010) <i>Diabetes Technol Ther</i> <i></i> <i></i> 12: 2 143-148<br/>

Tremor in Klinefelter's syndrome is believed to be essential tremor since the publication of "Klinefelter's syndrome and essential tremor" in 1969. However, the author also stated that tremor in Klinefelter's syndrome might differ from essential tremor.

The nonclassical binding kinetics of IGF-I and insulin to their respective receptors, suggestive of negative cooperativity, can be readily explained by our recently proposed novel binding mechanism whereby the bivalent ligand bridges the two receptor alpha-subunits alternatively at opposite sites in a symmetrical receptor structure.

Human growth hormone (hGH) is a single chain, 22 kd-protein with two intramolecular disulfide bonds. The hGH gene is located on chromosome 17 at band q22-q24 and has four introns separating five coding exons. The expression of hGH is restricted to the pituitary and regulated by GHF-1 which binds to the hGH promoter acting in concert with several other more ubiquitous DNA binding proteins.
