A non-antigen-specific assay may help detect other antibodies. In this study, we evaluate the utility and clinical relevance of an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) in the evaluation of AIE. Immunoflu...

Just an Acute Pulmonary Edema? Paraneoplastic Thyroid Storm Due to Invasive Mole
Published in Case Reports in Oncology
Hydatidiform mole is a malignant entity included in the gestational trophoblastic diseases. It usually produces pregnancy hormones such as beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), which in turn stimulates endogenous thyroid hormone production. We report the case of a high-risk complete invasive hydatidiform mole with pulmonary metastasis and asso...
