Background: Dopamine modulates cortical excitability and plasticity by influencing glutamate and GABA receptor activity. This study investigates the impact of general dopaminergic activation and D1‐ and D2‐like receptor modulation on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)‐induced plasticity in humans.Methods:• Pharmacological intervention: l ...

Abstract The vast majority of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) are benign and slow growing with a low relapse rate over many years after surgical resection. However, about 40% are locally invasive and may not be surgically cured, and about one percentage demonstrate an aggressive clinical behavior.

Abstract Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) arise from the diffuse endocrine system and have been considered to be rare. However, the incidence and prevalence of these tumours have increased in recent years, and they are being seen in younger patients including women in the reproductive age group.

Background and Purpose Differentiation between functioning and nonfunctioning pituitary adenomas/pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PAs) is clinically relevant. The goal of this study was to determine the feasibility of using time‐dependent diffusion MRI (dMRI) for microstructural characterization of PAs.

Cabergoline in the Treatment of Acromegaly: A Study in 64 Patients [PDF]
Cabergoline is a new, long acting, dopamine agonist that is more effective and better tolerated than bromocriptine in patients with hyperprolactinemia. Because dopamine agonists still have a place in the medical management of acromegaly, cabergoline might be a useful treatment.

Background: Thyroid‐stimulating hormone (TSH)‐secreting pituitary adenomas (TSHomas) are very rare pituitary tumors causing central hyperthyroidism. Most are macroadenomas (≥ 10 mm) with local and systemic comorbidities at diagnosis. The atypical changes in thyroid function tests (TFTs) may be subtle and are often initially missed, while over‐secretion

Cabergoline in the Treatment of Hyperprolactinemia: A Study in 455 Patients [PDF]
Cabergoline is a new long-acting dopamine agonist that is very effective and well tolerated in patients with pathological hyperprolactinemia. The aim of this study was to examine, in a very large number of hyperprolactinemic patients, the ability to normalize PRL levels with cabergoline, to determine the effective dose and tolerance, and to assess the ...

Arrested Puberty in a Young Adult With a Macroprolactinoma: Case Report and Literature Review
Prolactinoma is the most common pituitary tumor, with clinical presentations varying according to sex, age of onset, tumor size, and prolactin (PRL) levels. These tumors are rare in the pediatric and adolescent populations. Hyperprolactinemia leads to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, resulting in reproductive, metabolic, sexual, and skeletal consequences

Generalized Fused Lasso for Treatment Pooling in Network Meta‐Analysis
ABSTRACT This work develops a generalized fused lasso (GFL) approach to fitting contrast‐based network meta‐analysis (NMA) models. The GFL method penalizes all pairwise differences between treatment effects, resulting in the pooling of treatments that are not sufficiently different.

Pharmacological effects of cabergoline against parkinsonism.
The pharmacological effects of cabergoline, a novel ergot alkaloid, against parkinsonism were assessed by comparing its effects with those of bromocriptine and pergolide. The affinities of cabergoline and pergolide for the D2 receptor were about the same, about 7 times stronger than that of bromocriptine.
