Eleven women with secondary amenorrhoea and hyperprolactinaemia were treated with lisuride, a new semisynthetic ergot derivative. Acute administration of lisuride (100 microgram orally) significantly suppressed serum prolactin (PRL) levels in nine out of eleven subjects. In these nine patients, prolonged treatment with lisuride (50--200 microgram daily) lowered PRL levels into the normal range, menstrual cycles were resumed and eight patients ovulated. Two patients, in whom lisuride failed to lower PRL levels into the normal range, did not resume normal menstruation. These data demonstrate that lisuride may be used clinically to lower PRL levels and to restore cyclic gonadotrophin secretion and ovulation in amenorrhoeic patients with hyperprolactinaemia.

Fire safety in healthcare facilities is extremely important due to limited evacuation capacity of occupants. Therefore, poor fire safety precautions lead to more fatalities and financial losses. This study introduces an effective fire risk management approach for healthcare buildings utilizing an interval valued neutrosophic-fuzzy framework.

Gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) is known to influence the lipid profiles of trans men and transmasculine individuals. Recent data show that moderate prolactin (PRL) elevations might exert beneficial metabolic effects ("HomeoFIT-PRL model"). The aim of this study is to investigate changes in PRL levels and possible associations between PRL and lipid profiles in this population after a year of GAHT.

Pseudopregnancy is the development of signs of pregnancy in the absence of an embryo or fetus. The objectives of this study were to characterize pseudopregnancy in dromedary camels, determine its prevalence in camel farms and practice, identify associated risk factors, and describe its clinical and hormonal properties. The prevalence of pseudopregnancy on 100 camel farms with 4264 total female camels was determined to be 2.

Prolactinomas are the most common hormone-secreting pituitary adenomas in adolescents. Dopamine agonists (DA) are used as first-line medical treatment. DAs are associated with an array of physical side effects; however, impulse control disorders (ICDs), such as pathological gambling (PG), have also been reported in adults.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) at specific acupoints (DU20 and ST36) and different frequencies (2 and 100 Hz) on brain regions associated with trigeminal neuralgia, anxiety, and depression. Chronic trigeminal neuralgia was induced by the chronic constriction of the infraorbital nerve (CION). Anxiety and depression were assessed through behavioral tests.
