Conditional Pten inactivation in pituitary results in sex-specific prolactinoma formation.

Pituitary tumors, including prolactinomas, present significant clinical challenges that require a deeper understanding of their molecular roots for improved diagnostics and therapies. Here, we investigate the role of the phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway in pituitary tumorigenesis using a mouse model. Conditional knockout of Pten in all pituitary cell lineages resulted in prolactinoma formation exclusively in female mice, demonstrating the critical role of PTEN in pituitary homeostasis.

[Tanslated article] Burnout Syndrome, Anxiety, and Depression in Dermatology Residents: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background And Objective: Burnout syndrome is a mental health disorder due to chronic occupational stress. Both burnout and associated comorbidities are prevalent among health care professionals, being medical residents a vulnerable group. Despite this, the scientific medical literature currently available on this issue in dermatology residents is scarce.

Response to biological drugs and JAK inhibitors following cyclosporine in patients with atopic dermatitis.

The therapeutic arsenal for atopic dermatitis (AD) has increased in recent years. The use of biologics or Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) is advocated following failure or contraindication to cyclosporine (CSA), however, it is not known whether treatment with CSA can impact the response to biologics or JAKi. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of previous treatment with CSA on response to biologics or JAKi in patients with AD.
