O artigo, um recorte da tese que o professor defendeu em 2016 junto ao
PPGL, se apoia nos estudos de genero e de sexualidades a partir de etnografias sobre a experiencia da travestilidade, tendo Benedetti (2007), Pelucio (2009) e Kulick (2008), como principais bases teoricas.
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (
PPGLs) [3] are neuroendocrine tumors arising from adrenal and extraadrenal chromaffin cells, respectively (1).
In the finals, Team Liyab LoL went against TNC, the same squad that defeated them in last year's
PPGL. The team came out prepared and swinging, as they took out TNC with two quick victories to grab the
PPGL 2019-Season 1 LoL championship title.
Among the many
PPGL susceptibility genes, RET is a well-known protooncogene, germline mutations of which cause multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2), which is characterized by medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), PCC, and hyperparathyroidism [7,8].
With improved analytical sensitivity of modern LC-ECD and LC-MS/MS instruments, it has become possible to measure urine free metanephrines (16, 24), which also provide improved diagnosis of
PPGLs compared to catecholamines and VMA (25).
The diagnosis of
PPGL relies on biochemical evidence of excess catecholamine secretion and confirmation of tumor presence by imaging studies.
Pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas (
PPGLs) [9] are rare catecholamine-producing tumors that arise, respectively, from adrenal and extraadenal chromaffin tissue and which occur sporadically or as a result of germline mutations of several tumor susceptibility genes (1).
