Pituitary surgery was first carried out at the turn of the century. Victor Horsley in his address to the 74th Annual meeting of the British Medical Association, published in 1906, made brief reference to 10 cases he had operated upon by what is assumed to have been a sub-temporal approach. Schloffer published an article in 1907 describing a per nasal trans-sphenoidal operation and in 1909 Oskar...

Much of the variation in soybean yield is associated with changes in pod number per plant, however physiological regulation of pod number is not well understood. Three determinate soybean cultivars, Hai339 (H339), Heinong35 (HN35) and Kennong18 (KN18) were grown for 2 years at 27 plants m in a field experiment and exposed to shading and light enrichment. The data of total soluble sugar (TSS) in...

OBJECTIVE Terminological Systems (TSs) need to be maintained in order to sustain their utility. This paper describes a study aiming at the standardization of the maintenance processes of medical TSs by capturing the criteria for the management of the maintenance processes into a framework. Furthermore, this paper describes application of the framework, which sheds light on the current practice ...

Abstract Background To assess the incidence and causative factors of unplanned hospital readmission within 90 days after surgical treatment thoracic spinal stenosis (TSS). Methods Hospital administrative database was queried to identify patients who underwent TSS from July 2010 through December 2017. All readmissions discharge were reviewed for causes rate calculated. Patients matched 1:3 a con...

During transcription initiation, RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme unwinds ∼13 bp of promoter DNA, forming an RNAP-promoter open complex (RPo) containing a single-stranded transcription bubble, and selects a template-strand nucleotide to serve as the transcription start site (TSS). In RPo, RNAP core enzyme makes sequence-specific protein-DNA interactions with the downstream part of the nontempla...

Currently, transcranial hypophysectomy is infrequently used since the trans-sphenoidal approach is very effective and less invasive. Prolactinomas represent one of the rarest indications for pituitary surgery due to the spectacular effects of dopamine agonists as cabergoline. A 66-year-old female presented at age of 52 with headache, low blood pressure. The investigations revealed panhypopituit...

We present a young lady who satisfied the criteria for the diagnosis of toxic-shock syndrome (TSS). The differential diagnoses of TSS in the local setting are outlined. The pertinent clinical features of TSS and its increasing association with nonmenstruating females are highlighted.

Background: CSF leak during or after transsphenoidal surgery is the most common annoying complication that may lead to fatal meningitis. Objective: To define the effectiveness of the external CSF lumbar drain to stop the leak either inserted preoperative, immediate postoperative or delayed postoperative with the same figure of packing to the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus. Methods: We retrosp...
