An intrasellar cystic mass and hypopituitarism.
Accepted 16 October 1995 A 44-year-old man had suffered from headache, general fatigue and impotence for three months. Physical examination revealed a bitemporal visual field defect. Skull X-ray films showed ballooning of the sella turcica. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed an intrasellar cystic mass compressing optic chiasma (figure). The cyst was removed by a transsphenoidal approach....
متن کاملRecent highlights on bone stem cells: a report from Bone Stem Cells 2009, and not only…
The use of stem cells has opened new prospects for the treatment of orthopaedic conditions characterized by large bone defects. However, many issues still exist to which answers are needed before routine, large-scale application becomes possible. Bone marrow stromal cells (MSC), which are clonogenic, multipotential precursors present in the bone marrow stroma, are generally employed for bone re...
متن کاملMutations and chromosomal rearrangements of JAK2: not only a myeloid issue.
Until today, JAK2 alterations have been mainly associated with myeloid malignancies among which they play a key pathogenic role in chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms. More recently, aberrations involving the JAK2 gene have also been reported in lymphoid diseases, including acute leukemia and lymphomas. In addition, the constitutively activating JAK2V617F mutation has been identified in some p...
متن کاملChildhood bone mass acquisition and peak bone mass may not be important determinants of bone mass in late adulthood.
During childhood and adolescence, bone mass acquisition occurs primarily through skeletal growth. It is widely assumed that bone mass acquisition throughout childhood is an important determinant of the risk of osteoporosis in late adulthood; bone mass is thought to resemble a bank account in which deposits persist indefinitely. However, several well-controlled clinical studies suggest that incr...
متن کاملMutations in Known Monogenic High Bone Mass Loci Only Explain a Small Proportion of High Bone Mass Cases
High bone mass (HBM) can be an incidental clinical finding; however, monogenic HBM disorders (eg, LRP5 or SOST mutations) are rare. We aimed to determine to what extent HBM is explained by mutations in known HBM genes. A total of 258 unrelated HBM cases were identified from a review of 335,115 DXA scans from 13 UK centers. Cases were assessed clinically and underwent sequencing of known anaboli...
