Dermal Regeneration Template Generated Skin Can Be Raised as A Flap: A New Dimension in Aesthetic Restoration.

Childhood scars can lead to hideous aesthetic and functional deformities in young adults, which can be particularly distressing when involving the face and the breast in a female. Aesthetic restoration requires replacement of the whole or a part of the scarred skin by soft, pliable, and texture-matching skin, which nearly always is in short supply. Dermal regeneration templates (DRTs) can help in skin regeneration that is almost always aesthetically superior to most flaps.

Pituitary Apoplexy Following Severe Diabetic Ketoacidosis, With Two Uncommon Complications of Supraventricular Tachycardia and Acute Limb Ischemia in a Patient with Neglected Pituitary Adenoma and Undiagnosed Diabetes Mellitus: A Rare Clinical Association.

Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is a clinical emergency arising from acute ischemia or hemorrhage of the pituitary gland. A small subset of pituitary adenomas present with an apoplectic crisis, with common symptoms being headache, nausea/vomiting, visual impairment, ophthalmoplegia, altered sensorium, panhypopituitarism, etc. Though diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is an established complication of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, its association with PA is extremely rare.

Long-term hormonal and imaging outcomes of adjunctive gamma knife radiosurgery in non-functioning pituitary adenomas: a single center experience.

Purpose: Gamma Knife Radiosurgery(GKRS) is an established modality for treatment of non-functioning pituitary adenomas(NFPA). The objective of the study was to assess long-term hormonal and imaging outcomes after adjunctive GKRS in patients with NFPA.

Methods: A retrospective review of records of 109 patients with NFPA, from 1996 to 2020, who received adjunctive GKRS, was performed.
