Spectrum and review of MRI findings in hypophysitis [PDF]
Inflammation of the pituitary infundibulum and pituitary gland (hypophysis) is called hypophysitis. The causes may be primary (lymphocytic hypophysitis, granulomatous hypophysitis, xanthomatous hypophysitis, necrotizing hypophysitis) or secondary due to ...

Genetic regulation of pituitary gland development in human and mouse [PDF]
Normal hypothalamopituitary development is closely related to that of the forebrain and is dependent upon a complex genetic cascade of transcription factors and signaling molecules that may be either intrinsic or extrinsic to the developing Rathke’s ...

DynPeak : An algorithm for pulse detection and frequency analysis in hormonal time series [PDF]
The endocrine control of the reproductive function is often studied from the analysis of luteinizing hormone (LH) pulsatile secretion by the pituitary gland. Whereas measurements in the cavernous sinus cumulate anatomical and technical difficulties, LH levels can be easily assessed from jugular blood.

A case of hypogonadtropic hypogonadism due to hypophysitis discovered by secondary male infertility
Introduction The main causes of secondary male infertility are varicocele and aging. It is rarely caused by adult‐onset hypopituitarism. The onset of hypopituitarism is often due to brain tumors, trauma, surgery, or congenital disorders. Case presentation A 29‐year‐old man was admitted to the hospital with complaints of decreased libido and semen ...

Involvement of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis and its interaction with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in the ontogeny of avian thermoregulation: a review [PDF]
The emergence of thermoregulation in avian species is a complex matter in which neural as well as hormonal processes are involved. In a previous paper, the neural aspects of primary avian thermoregulation were discussed.

Classification of anatomic structures in head and neck by CT-based radiomics [PDF]
Background and Purpose: Radiomics features are used to identify disease types and predict therapy outcomes. However, how the radiomics features are different among different anatomical structures has never been investigated. Hence, we analyzed the radiomics features of 22 anatomical structures in the head and neck area in CT images.

The effects of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals on ovarian‐ and ovulation‐related fertility outcomes
Abstract Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is unavoidable, which represents a public health concern given the ability of EDCs to target the ovary. However, there is a large gap in the knowledge about the impact of EDCs on ovarian function, including the process of ovulation.

The 'incidentaloma' of the pituitary gland. Is neurosurgery required? [PDF]
We describe a series of 18 patients with an intrasellar mass incidentally discovered by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. The average size of the mass was 13 mm, with a range from 5 to 25 mm.
