Introduction: Ectopic posterior pituitary (EPP) is a rare congenital abnormality, sometimes associated with other midline defects, such as pituitary stalk interruption syndrome (PSIS), in which thin or absent pituitary stalk and anterior pituitary hypoplasia are combined to EPP. Most cases are sporadic, with few reports of familial cases, and many congenital hypopituitarism (CH) cases remain unsolved.
Objective: To search for candidate genes associated with this condition, we performed trio-based whole-exome sequencing (WES) on patients with EPP, including two familial cases.
Article Synopsis
- α-FeO and FeMnO/α-FeO fibers were created using a method called Solution Blow Spinning (SBS).
- The study examined how the drying speed during this process affected the fibers' structure using different microscopy techniques and specific surface area measurements.
- Slow drying resulted in smooth, continuous fibers with smaller diameters, while fast drying produced porous fibers with larger surface areas, suggesting potential uses in energy applications.
Objectives: To compare the factors and facets of psychopathy based on criminal characteristics in a sample of women in prison.
Material And Method: Descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional study composed of a sample of 41 women incarcerated in the Ambato prison in Ecuador. In an individual session, the Hare Psychopathy Scale Revised was applied.
Aims: To report false-negative normal growth hormone (GH) peak response in patients with ectopic posterior pituitary gland (EPP) identified with a simplified magnetic resonance imaging (FAST1-MRI).
Methods: We analyzed 75 EPP patients with short stature and reduced growth velocity. Sagittal-T1 imaging (thickness: 2 mm and gap: 0.
