Pituitary infections, particularly with fungus, are rare disorders that usually occur in immunocompromised patients. Cushing's syndrome predisposes patients to infectious diseases due to their immunosuppression status. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman, working as a poultry farmer, who developed intense headache, palpebral ptosis, anisocori...

Domestic animal endocrinology
Pubertal onset in the ewe is subject to a multitude of physiological and environmental constraints. As seasonal breeders, sheep rely on decreasing photoperiod to enter puberty and the subsequent breeding periods, hindering production. The initiation of puberty defines the reproductive yield of the ewe, and as such is a critical factor influencing p...

Background In patients with symptomatic Rathke’s cleft cyst, transsphenoidal surgery is highly effective at preventing further visual loss and usually allows for some recovery of vision. However, cyst recurrence and the need for re-operation are well recognized. To this end, the aim of this study was to investigate patterns of recurrence and long-t...

The transnasal endoscopic approach to lesions of the skull base has come into routine practice in recent years. Standardized questionnaires to assess the postoperative sequelae are missing. The authors present a custom-made questionnaire for the sino-nasal outcome test for neurosurgery (SNOT-NC) in accordance with the SNOT-22. The SNOT-NC was devel...

High-fat diet (HFD) is associated with the regulation of reproductive functions. This study aimed to investigate the effects of short-term HFD on the mRNA expression levels of follicle-stimulating hormone β subunit (FSHβ), luteinizing hormone β subunit (LHβ), gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor, and long-chain fatty acid receptor, GPR120, in th...
