A HORMONAL AND RADIOLOGICAL EVALUATION OF ADRENAL-GLAND IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE OR CHRONIC PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

OBJECTIVE The adrenal glands may be involved in tuberculosis. The exact frequency and extent of adrenal involvement in tuberculosis are not well known. Although there are some studies regarding adrenal gland involvement, they are not sufficient because of inadequate endocrinological tests and radiological procedures. The aim of this study was to assess the adrenal gland in acute and chronic pulmonary tuberculosis and to compare it with the findings obtained in healthy subjects

Kit expression in spindle cell rhabdomyosarcoma can possibly create a different approach for its tumorigenesis and therapy

The use of a relatively nontoxic tyrosine kinase receptor inhibitor, imatimb mesylate (IM) (STI-571), has increasingly become a valuable therapeutic alternative in some KIT (CD117)-overexpressing neoplasms potentially because of the presence of KIT-activating mutations. As the treatment eligibility for this drug hinges on CD117 expression. KIT immunostaining has recently been widely examined in various different tumors
