Mechanisms for pituitary tumorigenesis: the plastic pituitary [PDF]
The anterior pituitary gland integrates the repertoire of hormonal signals controlling thyroid, adrenal, reproductive, and growth functions. The gland responds to complex central and peripheral signals by trophic hormone secretion and by undergoing reversible plastic changes in cell growth leading to hyperplasia, involution, or benign adenomas arising ...

IgG4-Related Inflammatory Pseudotumor Involving the Clivus: A Case Report and Literature Review
IgG4-related inflammatory pseudotumors are very uncommon and are characterized histologically by the presence of inflammatory swellings with increasing IgG4-positive plasma cells and lymphocytes infiltrating the tissues.

Advances in computational modeling approaches in pituitary gonadotropin signaling [PDF]
Pituitary gonadotropins play an essential and pivotal role in the control of human and animal reproduction within the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis. The computational modeling of pituitary gonadotropin signaling encompasses phenomena of different natures such as the dynamic encoding of gonadotropin secretion, and the intracellular cascades ...

The effects of coloring therapy on patients with generalized anxiety disorder
After the intervention, there were statistical differences intra‐and‐inter group comparisons of anxiety, depression, and positive and negative mood scales in the experimental and control groups (p < .05). The minus in anxiety/positive emotions pre‐and‐post intervention in the experimental group was statistically significant compared to the minus in ...

Pituitary Adenoma Volumetry with 3D Slicer [PDF]
In this study, we present pituitary adenoma volumetry using the free and open source medical image computing platform for biomedical research: (3D) Slicer. Volumetric changes in cerebral pathologies like pituitary adenomas are a critical factor in treatment decisions by physicians and in general the volume is acquired manually.

How to Classify Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors (PitNET)s in 2020
Adenohypophyseal tumors, which were recently renamed pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNET), are mostly benign, but may present various behaviors: invasive, “aggressive” and malignant with metastases.

Inflammation-induced Gro1 triggers senescence in neuronal progenitors: effects of estradiol
Background Inflammation has been proposed to contribute to the decline in adult hippocampal neurogenesis. Proinflammatory cytokines activate transcription of chemokine growth-regulated oncogene α (Gro1) in human and murine hippocampal neuronal progenitor

Genomic landscape of gliosarcoma: distinguishing features and targetable alterations
Gliosarcoma is an aggressive brain tumor with histologic features of glioblastoma (GBM) and soft tissue sarcoma. Despite its poor prognosis, its rarity has precluded analysis of its underlying biology.

Does an Analysis of the Pulsatile Secretion Pattern of Adrenocorticotropin and Cortisol Predict the Result of Transsphenoidal Surgery in Cushing’s Disease. [PDF]
The endocrinological, surgical, and histological findings of patients with ACTH-dependent Cushing's disease were correlated with the pulsatile secretion pattern of ACTH and cortisol and the outcome after transsphenoidal pituitary surgery.
