Giant prolactinomas, a detailed analysis of 196 adult cases.

Purpose: Giant prolactinomas are a rare entity, representing approximately 5% of all prolactinomas. A systematic review of 196 adult cases was performed. A comparison of the clinical, biochemical and radiological characteristics, management and therapeutic outcomes in men versus women is made.

Delirium and Previous Psychiatric History Independently Predict Poststroke Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Objectives: Delirium is an acute brain dysfunction that has been correlated with adverse mental health outcomes, such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, delirium has not been studied in relation to mental health outcomes after cerebrovascular events. This study aimed to examine the incidence of PTSD after nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and identify new predictors of poststroke PTSD symptoms.

Moving towards social dentistry: How do dentists perceive the Montreal-Toulouse model?

Objectives: This study aimed to understand the perspectives of dentists towards the Montreal-Toulouse model, an innovative approach that encompasses person-centredness and social dentistry. This model invites dentists to take three types of actions (understanding, decision-making, intervening) on three overlapping levels (individual, community, societal). This study aimed to understand (a) How dentists perceived the Montreal-Toulouse model as a framework for the practice of dentistry and (b) What parts of this model they were ready to adopt in their own practice.

MICROSCOPE Mission: Final Results of the Test of the Equivalence Principle.

The MICROSCOPE mission was designed to test the weak equivalence principle (WEP), stating the equality between the inertial and the gravitational masses, with a precision of 10^{-15} in terms of the Eötvös ratio η. Its experimental test consisted of comparing the accelerations undergone by two collocated test masses of different compositions as they orbited the Earth, by measuring the electrostatic forces required to keep them in equilibrium. This was done with ultrasensitive differential electrostatic accelerometers onboard a drag-free satellite.

Impact of training on combined cardiopulmonary exercise test with stress echocardiography parameters in HFrEF patients.

Background: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation is recognized to improve quality of life in heart failure patients. However, the effects on the cardiac function are understudied. The main objective was to assess the impact of a 4-week cardiac rehabilitation program on cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) combined with simultaneous echocardiography parameters in chronic heart failure (CHF) patients.
