Pituitary tuma

Enlargement of the pituitary gland is heterogenous in the etiology. Common causes of pituitary enlargement are physiological hypertrophy during pregnancy, primary and secondary tumors, autoimmune hypophysitis including side effects of anticancer therapy with check-point inhibitors. Terms like hypertrophy, hyperplasia, sellar expansion and hypophysitis are commonly used to describe enlargement of the pituitary gland on MR scan regardless its etiology. The most common pathology causing pituitary gland enlargement is pituitary adenoma...

The 2020 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, had its headquarters in China. It causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and presents a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, ranging from entirely asymptomatic through severe acute respiratory failure and death. Presuming a significant quantity of ventilator-dependent patients, several institutions strategically delayed elective surgeries. Particularly procedures performed involving the nasal mucosa, such as a transsphenoidal approach of the pituitary gland, considering the tremendous level of viral shedding...

OBJECTIVE: One of the common, but less studied deficiencies in mouse models of cerebellar disorders is impaired breeding capacity. Nevertheless, there is no extensive study in Lurcher (Grid2Lc) mice, a model of olivocerebellar degeneration. The aim of this work was to analyze a breeding capacity of these mutants. METHODS: Lurcher females mated with healthy wild type males were compared with two control groups: wild type females mated with wild type males and wild type females mated with Lurcher males...
