Excellent response to pasireotide therapy in an aggressive and dopamine-resistant prolactinoma.
Prolactinomas are the most commonly encountered pituitary adenomas in the clinical setting. While most can be controlled by dopamine agonists, a subset of prolactinomas are dopamine-resistant and very aggressive.

ACT001 Inhibits Tumor Progression and Modulates Immune Responses in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer
ACT001, a novel small‐molecule inhibitor, demonstrates significant antitumoral and immunomodulatory effects in NSCLC by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, inducing cell cycle arrest, and suppressing tumor growth. Mechanistically, it targets STAT1/STAT3, reduces PD‐L1 expression, and enhances granzyme B release in CD3+ T cells ...

Mitochondria as Regulators of Nonapoptotic Cell Death in Cancer
Mitochondrial fission and fusion are key processes in maintaining cellular health. Fission is driven by proteins like, Fis‐1, which recruits DRP‐1, to facilitate the division of mitochondria. Fusion, however, is mediated by mitofusion 1(MFN1), mitofusion 2(MFN2), and optic atrophy 1 (OPA1), which work together to merge mitochondria, allowing functional

ABSTRACT Objective Detecting hypotonic urine (specific gravity < 1005 g/L) is crucial for the early identification of arginine vasopressin deficiency (AVP‐deficiency), a common complication after pituitary surgery. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between urine specific gravity measurements taken by patients using urine test strips and those ...
