In a experiment with white nubilous male rats the morphofuntional state of secretory neurons (SN) of the large-cell hypothalamic nuclei (LCHN) was evaluated with the morphological, morphometric and statistical methods following electromagnetic exposure (500, 100 and 50 impulses once a week) inducing in the animal body the averaged current densities of 1.5 kA/m2. It was stated that 100 EMI a week called forth opposite LCHN reactions, that is suppression of synthesis and elimination of SN neuro-secret in supraoptic nuclei and their activation in the paraventricular nuclei. LCHN reaction to the other frequencies of EM impulses was uniform and included rearrangement of both neurosecretory centers for a lower functional activity. Decrease in the number of effectively functioning SN due to the EM exposure may point to a dead-aptive effect of this factor.

Introduction: A recently discovered facet of paraneoplastic adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) deficiency exists in two forms: a paraneoplastic spontaneous isolated ACTH deficiency (IAD) and an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)-related hypophysitis. Autoantibodies against corticotrophs, such as circulating anti-proopiomelanocortin (POMC) antibodies are considered disease markers. However, the number of identified cases was limited, implying that the characteristics of these autoantibodies are not fully understood.

Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare malignant tumor that typically arises in the lungs. It is especially rare in the sinonasal cavity, and treatment has not been established. In this study, we present the case of a 56-year-old woman with a large sinonasal LCNEC that extended into her brain.

G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying K(+) channels (GIRKs; also called Kir3) are a family of K(+) channels, which are activated (opened) via a signal transduction cascade starting with ligand-stimulated G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Four GIRK genes have been identified (GIRK1-4). GIRK4 (Kir3.

We describe an elderly male patient who presented with fever of unknown origin and refractory hyponatraemia. Following (18) fluorine-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan and core adrenal biopsy, the diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma with pituitary and bilateral adrenal involvement was confirmed. After chemotherapy, his symptoms resolved, and all the lesions shrank significantly.

Two unique, formerly unrecorded sellar neoplasms were observed in two women of 60 and 63 years of age. One lesion consisted of small epithelial cells and the other was a large-cell oncocytic tumor, yet they had the same simple cytoplasmic organization with dominance of polyribosomes and a sprinkle of glycogen. Striking markers shared by the neoplasms: (1) network of typical pituitary follicles, and (2) unexpected similarity to fetal human pituitary tissue at different gestational ages of 6 and 10-12 weeks.
