Systemic illnessPituitary - Tập 11 - Trang 187-207 - 2008
Marta Bondanelli, Maria Chiara Zatelli, Maria Rosaria Ambrosio, Ettore C. degli Uberti
Systemic illnesses are associated with alterations in the
hypothalamic–pituitary–peripheral hormone axes, which represent part of the
adaptive response to stressful events and may be influenced by type and severity
of illness and/or pharmacological therapy. The pituitary gland responds to an
acute stressful event with two secretory patterns: adrenocorticotropin (ACTH),
prolactin (PRL) and growth h... hiện toàn bộ
Endoscopic endonasal approach for pituitary adenoma: surgical complications in 301 patientsPituitary - Tập 14 - Trang 174-183 - 2010

The authors investigate the complications of transnasal transsphenoidal
endoscopic surgery in the treatment of 301 patients with pituitary adenomas. A
retrospective analysis of complications in 301 patients submitted to
transsphenoidal transnasal endoscopic surgery at the General Hospital of
Fortaleza, Brazil between January 1998 and December 2009. The complications were
divided in two groups: ana... hiện toàn bộ
Copeptin response to hypoglycemic stress is linked to prolactin activation in childrenPituitary - - 2020

The physiological role of arginine vasopressin (AVP) in the acute stress
response in humans and especially in children is unclear. The aim of this study
was to explore the interaction between copeptin, a well-established surrogate
marker of AVP release, and anterior pituitary hormone activation in response to
acute hypoglycemic stress in children and adolescents. We conducted an
exploratory single... hiện toàn bộ
Hypothalamic pituitary abnormalities in tubercular meningitis at the time of diagnosisPituitary - Tập 13 - Trang 304-310 - 2010
Dinesh Kumar Dhanwal, Anirudh Vyas, Ashok Sharma, Alpana Saxena
Tubercular meningitis (TBM) is the most dreaded form of extra pulmonary
tuberculosis associated with high morbidity and mortality. Various hypothalamic
pituitary hormonal abnormalities have been reported to occur years after
recovery from disease but there are no systematic studies in the literature to
evaluate the pituitary hypothalamic dysfunction in patients with TBM at the time
of presentation... hiện toàn bộ
Cushing's Syndrome: Historical AspectsPituitary - Tập 3 - Trang 97-104 - 2000
J. Lindholm
A brief overview of the most important steps leading to our present knowledge of
hypercorticism is given. The adrenals were described in 1563 and the pituitary
had been known since Antiquity. Until Addison's description of adrenal
insufficiency in 1855 virtually nothing was known of their function. Cushing in
1912 described his famous patient with hypercorticism but assumed it to be a
polyglandula... hiện toàn bộ
Thyrotropin-secreting pituitary adenomas: a systematic review and meta-analysis of postoperative outcomes and managementPituitary - Tập 22 - Trang 79-88 - 2018

TSH-secreting pituitary adenomas are rare pituitary tumors. An efficient
treatment is essential to limit the mortality and morbidity in untreated
patients. The aim of this study is to summarize the evidence about the
postoperative outcomes and management of this rare pathology. A systematic
search and meta-analysis of surgical series was performed. Our analysis included
23 articles (536 patients).... hiện toàn bộ
Preoperative assessment for pituitary surgeryPituitary - Tập 11 - Trang 347-351 - 2008
Olivia Pereira, John S. Bevan
Evaluation of pituitary function is essential before pituitary surgery. In
hyperprolactinaemic patients with a pituitary macrolesion, tumoral secretion of
prolactin must be distinguished from ‘disconnection’ hyperprolactinaemia; serum
prolactin >200 mcg/l is virtually diagnostic of a macroprolactinoma whereas
levels <80 mcg/l usually indicate ‘disconnection’. The prolactin ‘hook effect’
should be ... hiện toàn bộ
