There are some reports about hypoxemia related to hypopituitarism. However, little is known about the relationship between growth hormone deficiency (GHD) and hypoxemia.A 23-year-old female presented with severe hypoxemia after the operations of Hypopituitarism diagnosed months or years following concussive injury can cause a variety of endocrine disturbances including insufficient secretion of human growth, luteinizing, follicle stimulating, thyroid stimulating, adrenocorticotrophic, and antidiuretic hormones. Recent evidence suggests that
The genetic and molecular mechanisms that initiate and maintain pituitary tumorigenesis are poorly understood. Nonfunctioning tumors of the gonadotrope lineage represent 35% of all tumors; are usually macroadenomas, often resulting in hypopituitarism; and have no medical treatments. Using expression
After traumatic brain injury (TBI), patients present with psychological disorders that may be explained by post-traumatic pituitary insufficiency (PI). The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between hypopituitarism, neuropsychological changes and findings on CT scans after TBI.
The complex pathophysiology of traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves not only the primary mechanical event but also secondary insults such as hypotension, hypoxia, raised intracranial pressure and changes in cerebral blood flow and metabolism. It is increasingly evident that these initial insults as
Herein, we review the characteristics of the six predominant venomous snakes in Taiwan and the effects of traditional Chinese medicine on the long-term outcomes of snakebite venom. We electronically searched databases, including PubMed, ClinicalKey, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, National
Pituitary stalk interruption and ectopic posterior lobe on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are frequently observed in patients with GH deficiency (GHD), but their pathogenesis remains controversial. We performed pituitary stimulation tests, MRI, and studied GH-1, GHRH receptor (GHRH-R), and Prophet
BACKGROUND
Traumatic brain injury (TBI), subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), stroke and cerebrovascular disease (CVD) are identified as risk factors for hypopituitarism. Pituitary dysfunction after TBI, SAH, and CVD may present in the acute phase or later in the course of the event. Chronic
Traumatic brain injury(TBI)is a major cause of hypothalamopituitary dysfunction. TBI-related hypothalamopituitary dysfunction is more common in the acute phase. Disturbance of pituitary/gonadal axis and growth hormone axis,as well as posterior pituitary dysfunction including central diabetes
Birth length has been reported to be either normal or reduced in infants with congenital GH deficiency (CGHD). We evaluated 46 infants with CGHD followed in a single regional medical center. All were born full term and had peak GH of less than 10 microg/liter after provocative stimulation. Length SD
A retrospective study analyzing etiological, clinical and hormonal aspects in a population of 45 patients (14 males and 31 females) with permanent hypogonadism was performed, the most important findings were: 1) The most common cause of hypogonadism was gonadal failure (60% of all patients). This
Hypothalamic obesity is often complicated in patients with craniopharyngioma due to hypothalamic damage by the tumor itself, treatment modalities, and associated multiple pituitary hormone deficiency. Hypothalamic obesity causes secondary diseases such as nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and
Pituitary tumors of the gonadotrope lineage are often large and invasive, resulting in hypopituitarism. No medical treatments are currently available. Using a combined genetic and genomic screen of individual human gonadotrope pituitary tumor samples, we recently identified the mammalian sterile-20
To investigate the changes of testosterone (T) secretion under sustained hypoxia, we determined basal levels of urine T, 17 ketosteroid, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and response to LHRH and HCG (human chorionic
Certain pituitary imaging abnormalities are a specific indicator of hypopituitarism. The objective of this study is to compare phenotypical features with radiological findings in patients with congenital growth hormone deficiency (GHD). Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) was performed in 103 patients
