Objective: To establish a new technique to easily identify the fetal cervix-uterus complex in normal female fetuses from 20 to 40 weeks of gestation.
Material And Methods: The study was performed in routine examination in normal fetuses by two observers. Twenty-five consecutive cases per gestational week were assessed between 20 and 40 weeks.
Purpose: The objective of this study was to characterize the clinical characteristics and factors predictive of biochemical remission in patients with symptomatic acromegaly undergoing transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) at an academic tertiary care center, as defined by the 2022 Acromegaly Consensus Conference guidelines.
Methods: In this single institution, longitudinal, retrospective study, a large cohort of 158 patients with a preoperative diagnosis of acromegaly undergoing surgery at a large, academic, tertiary care center were examined. We excluded 38 patients as IGF-1 testing was performed less than 12 weeks postoperatively.
Methods to assess quality of life and recovery after endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) for sellar lesions are limited and often biased by subjective patient-reported assessments. Objective in-situ assessments are lacking. Smartphone-based digital phenotyping has been increasingly studied across a variety of pathologies, utilizing built-in technologies to measure behavioral patterns pertaining to sleep, physical mobility, social interactions, and cognitive functioning, among others.

- Endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery is commonly used to address sellar pathologies, particularly for relieving pressure on the optic nerves, but the effectiveness of visual-evoked potentials (VEPs) as a monitoring tool during surgery lacks consistent evidence.
- An 80-year-old male underwent this type of surgery for a pituitary macroadenoma, experiencing fluctuating VEP readings during the procedure, which ultimately did not prevent postoperative visual deficits.
- The case highlights the need for careful interpretation of VEP data, especially in patients with existing vision issues, and emphasizes the importance of anesthesia choices to minimize interference during monitoring.
Substantial increases in depression at the outset of the pandemic were previously reported in NCANDA, a longitudinal sample of adolescents and young adults. The current NCANDA study examined depression symptoms before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. It evaluated the influence of stressors and social behavior (e.
