3D Facial Analysis in Acromegaly: Gender-Specific Features and Clinical Correlations

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2018
Objective: Quantitative investigations of facial changes in acromegaly are rare. A new imaging technique, three-dimensional (3D) stereophotography, can accurately quantify whole facial changes.

Reversibility of Cardiac Involvement in Acromegaly Patients After Surgery: 12-Month Follow-up Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020
PurposeCardiac comorbidity is one of the leading causes of death among acromegaly patients. We aimed to investigate the reversibility of acromegalic cardiac involvement after surgical treatment using the gold standard method, cardiovascular magnetic ...

Vascular endothelial growth factor production and regulation in rodent and human pituitary tumor cells in vitro [PDF]

, 2001
Angiogenesis, the formation of a new blood supply, is an essential step in tumorigenesis. Although vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to be a very potent angiogenic factor in most solid tumors, little is known about its production and ...

Effect of miR-106b on Invasiveness of Pituitary Adenoma via PTEN-PI3K/AKT

Medical Science Monitor, 2017
Background Pituitary adenomas are mostly benign tumors, although certain cases have invasiveness, which might be related with high expression of miR-106b. The PTEN-PI3K/AKT signal pathway is known to be related with cell migration and invasion.

Reference intervals for plasma, urinary, and salivary concentrations of free metanephrines in dogs: Relevance to the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 173-183, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Measurement of free metanephrines is recommended for screening of pheochromocytoma (PCC) but requires appropriate reference intervals (RIs). Hypothesis/Objectives To report RIs for plasma, urinary and salivary concentrations of free metanephrines and to determine the diagnostic performance of plasma free normetanephrine (pNMN) and ...

Ionized hypercalcemia in 238 cats from a referral hospital population (2009‐2019)

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 80-91, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Ionized calcium concentration ([iCa]) is more sensitive for detecting calcium disturbances than serum total calcium concentration but literature on ionized hypercalcemia in cats is limited. Urolithiasis is a possible adverse consequence of hypercalcemia. Hypothesis/Objectives To describe clinical details of diagnoses associated with

The role of stereotactic radiosurgery in the multimodal management of growth hormone–secreting pituitary adenomas [PDF]

, 2010
Growth hormone (GH)–secreting pituitary adenomas represent a common source of GH excess in patients with acromegaly. Whereas surgical extirpation of the culprit lesion is considered first-line treatment, as many as 19% of patients develop recurrent ...

Advances in computational modeling approaches in pituitary gonadotropin signaling [PDF]

Expert Opinion on Drug Discovery, 1-15. (2018), 2018
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 ...

Case report: Clinical report of co-occurrence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma in the sellar region after meningioma treatment

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
The coexistence of meningioma and pituitary adenoma is very rare, especially in the same location after meningioma surgery. Here, we reported a case of coexisting meningioma and pituitary adenoma secondary to postoperative meningioma in the sellar region
