Introduction: Pituitary Adenomas account for approximately 10-15% of all intracranial tumors. They are classified according to their secretory activity, presenting with varied hormonal and visual symptoms. The aim treatment pituitary adenomas is reversal endocrine dysfunction preservation normal function, along decompression nervous structures control tumor growth in large Aims Objective: this ...

Solids removal across two settling devices, i.e., a swirl separator and a radial-flow settler, and across a microscreen drum filter was evaluated in a fully recirculating system containing a single 150 m ‘Cornell-type’ dual-drain tank during the production of food-size Arctic char and rainbow trout. The flow through the culture tank was 4500–4800 L/min. Approximately 92–93% of the system flow e...

BACKGROUND Thiamylal sodium is a common anesthetic barbiturate prepared in alkaline solution for clinical use. There is no previously reported study on the effects of barbiturates on the inflammation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Here, we examined the effects of clinical-grade thiamylal sodium solution (TSS) on the inflammation and proliferation of rat VSMCs. METH...

Abstract Introduction: Arachnoid cysts are developmental cystic lesions which may be found as an incidental finding on neuroimaging or present with symptoms of headache, seizure and neurologic deficit. Presentation with seizure is more common with larger sizes and temporal location. Presentation with TLE is rare, and fenestration of cysts had variable results for seizure control. Here in, we r...

This article confirms the existence of a strong linear relationship between turbidity and total suspended solids (TSS) concentration. However, the slope of this relation varies between dry and wet weather conditions, as well as between sites. The effect of this variability on estimating the instantaneous wet weather TSS concentration is assessed on the basis of the size of the calibration datas...

Current methods for identifying transcription start sites (TSSs) of specific genes in bacteria usually require adaptors or radioactive labeling. These approaches can be technically demanding and environmentally unfriendly. Here we present a method for identifying TSS called ARF-TSS, which is based on cDNA generation, circularization, PCR amplification, and DNA sequencing to determine the 5'-end...

background: cushing's disease is the most prevalent cause of endogenous adrenocorticotrophic hormone hypersecretion. the aim of this study was to document the current clinical practice pattern in the management of cushing's disease by iranian endocrinologists to determine their opinions and compare them with the current clinical practice guidelines.    methods: an eight-item questionn...

Cushing’s disease is bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia secondary to excessive secretion of ACTH by the pituitary gland. Angio-oedema is due to oedema in the deeper subcutaneous and submucosal tissues. We report a patient with acquired angio-oedema which developed after transsphenoidal surgery for Cushing’s disease (CD). A 50-year-old woman admitted to the endocrinology department with a two-...

OBJECTIVES We present the clinical and radiological features, treatment protocols, and medium-long-term results of our patients following surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele, along with a review of the relevant literature. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 18 patients (11 women and 7 men) who underwent surgery for paranasal sinus mucocele at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine, Department ...
