Both invasiveness and proliferation criteria predict recurrence of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas after surgery: a retrospective analysis of a monocentric cohort of 120 patients.

Introduction: Additional robust criteria to predict early postoperative recurrence of non-functioning pituitary macroadenomas (NFMAs) are needed. Recently, a new classification of pituitary tumors has been proposed, which is based on both radiological and histological criteria and allows the grading into 5 groups of different potential aggressiveness. The aim of this study was to use this classification to further characterize predictive factors of recurrence in an independent series of NFMA.

Verruca vulgaris: novel treatment with a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser.

[Bacterial endocarditis and echocardiography].

The authors present a case of enterococcal bacterial endocarditis in which a high degree of correlation was found between the echocardiographic findings and the anatomical lesions found at autopsy. They review the value of echocardiography as a simple non-invasive technique in the diagnosis and assessment of bacterial endocarditis.
