The study of interactions between neuroendocrinology and immunology, or immunoendocrinology, is a recent field with the majority its development in last 30 years that involves communication nervous, endocrine, immune systems. Homeostasis, development, aging, metabolism, infection, inflammation are all influenced by cross talk these systems via hormones, cytokines, neurotransmitters. nervous sys...

We report the case of a child with multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies and a truncated pituitary stalk on MR imaging who had recovery of normal secretion of pituitary hormones in early adulthood. Follow-up MR imaging examination after recovery revealed marked enlargement of the proximal pituitary stalk. The case of our patient helps to explain the mechanism whereby some patients experience ...

date of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy secondary to hyperthyroidism due to selective pituitary resistance to thyroid hormone. Our patient experienced left chamber dilation combined with severe pulmonary artery hyperten-sion which was caused by persistent sinus tachycardia and frequent ventricular extrasystoles secondary to hyperthy-roidism. Triiodothyroacetic acid is a T3 analogue with a pr...

Introduction: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder in females of reproductive age group. It characterised by menstrual irregularities, enlarged ovaries, infertility, high levels male hormones, excess hair on face and body, acne obesity. PCOS can result from abnormal function hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. Women with have an increased risk diabetes, bloo...

Pituitary tumors represent the most common intracranial neoplasms accompanying serious morbidity through mass effects and inappropriate secretion of pituitary hormones. Understanding the etiology of pituitary tumorigenesis will facilitate the development of satisfactory treatment for pituitary adenomas. Although the pathogenesis of pituitary adenomas is largely unknown, considerable evidence in...

OBJECTIVE This article focuses on the differential activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. METHOD The results of recently reported reviews of the literature are summarized and discussed. RESULTS The results of experimental studies that assayed adrenocorticotropic hormone, cortisol and prolactin show that real-life panic attac...
