Objective: To compare the elastographic patterns of high-grade gliomas (HGGs) solid portions and those of adjacent healthy brain parenchyma, on intraoperative ultrasound, with magnetic resonance image (MRI) characteristics.
Methods: Clinical records and images of HGGs patients, operated between June and December 2018, were retrospectively reviewed. Fusion images were used to compare preoperative gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighted MRI/fluid-attenuated inversion recovery images (Gd-T1 MRI/FLAIR) to intraoperative strain elastography (SE).
Context: In Cushing disease, the association between the rate of serum cortisol decline and recurrent disease after corticotroph adenoma removal has not been adequately characterized.
Objective: To analyze postoperative serum cortisol and recurrence rates in Cushing disease.
Methods: Patients with Cushing disease and pathology-confirmed corticotroph adenoma were retrospectively studied.
Background: Evidence suggests that educational interventions delivered by healthcare providers can be effective in altering patients' attitudes toward pain management and in referral to addiction treatment when appropriate. Time constraints during visits limit the delivery of such important interventions.
Objective: This study aims to explore the feasibility and perceived value of an opioid helpline that provides resources to individuals suffering from or at risk for opioid use disorder.
Purpose: In Cushing disease, early post-operative serum cortisol fluctuations have not been adequately characterized, and their association with initial remission and recurrence is unclear.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study of patients with Cushing disease was conducted at two institutions. A "riser" was defined a priori as a paradoxical increase in serum cortisol with an immediate incremental increase in serum cortisol over three consecutive cortisol draws separated by roughly 6-h (definition 1).
