High cholesterol is a known risk factor for ischemic heart, cerebrovascular, and peripheral vascular disease. Previous studies have postulated that hypercholesterolemia (defined as total cholesterol of at least 200 mg/dL) also plays a role in the development of meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD). In this observational, case-control study, Pinna et al. investigated the correlation between MGD and...

background and importance: the coexistence of pituitary adenoma and another type of brain tumor is a very rare clinical scenario. even though such a presentation can be an incidental event but the possible pathogenesis of coexistence of different lesions in the sella and suprasellar region has not yet been elucidated. case presentation: two cases of concomitant sellar and suprasellar region tum...

pregnancy rarely occurs in untreated cases of cushing's syndrome (cs) , because most of them are infertile due to significant maternal and fetal complications during pregnancy. diagnosis of cs may be difficult during pregnancy. since physiological changes of pregnancy are overlapped by classical presentation and biological confirmation of cs. therefore the high clinical suspicious is needed for...

a case of pleomorphic adenoma in sweat gland is reported here. the histopathologic report confirmed the diagnosis. pleomorphic adenoma is most common in salivary glands but very rare in sweat glands. pleomorphic adenoma in sweat gland and the similar tumors of eccring sweat gland are described that bear a striking resemblance to pleomorphic adenomas of salivary gland. upon closer examination, t...

background developing controlled hypercarbia is a known scheme of lowering the suprasellar part of the adenoma in order to assist the surgeon, which acts through raising the icp and therefore the csf pressure. objectives the purpose of this study is to compare the effect of introducing a lumbar drain with that of controlled hypercapnia on the quality of transsphenoidal pituitary tumor resection...
