In a case of Schilder disease with a heavy atrophy of adrenal cortex the immunocytological analysis of anterior pituitary shows a generalized hypertrophy and a severe last of granulations of the beta cells which reacted very weakly to au anti-serum anti-ACTH 17-39. These modifications agree with biological titration proving an hypersecretion of ACTH and beta MSH.

Background: The National Institute of Health and Social Care Research (NIHR) Health Informatics Collaborative (HIC) for Hearing Health has been established in the UK to curate routinely collected hearing health data to address research questions. This study defines priority research areas, outlines its aims, governance structure and demonstrates how hearing health data have been integrated into a common data model using pure tone audiometry (PTA) as a case study.
Methods: After identifying key research aims in hearing health, the governance structure for the NIHR HIC for Hearing Health is described.

Background: Baló's concentric sclerosis (BCS) is a rare variant of multiple sclerosis characterized by unique pathological features of alternating demyelination and preserved myelin.
Objectives: To describe two cases of BCS, radiological and pathological findings and its clinical course.
Results: We report two distinct cases of BCS that presented with unique MRI findings suggestive of BCS, but with different clinical courses and responses to treatment.

In both children and adults, magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in cases of multiple sclerosis (MS) has typical indications, where one of the key points for differentiating between demyelinating processes and place-taking processes is the fact that most of the lesions that appear in multiple sclerosis do not cause a mass effect or much edema around them. There are several uncommon subtypes of multiple sclerosis that can appear specifically in adolescents, presenting with a stormy clinical course and accompanied by brain lesions that resemble space-occupying lesions. These include Marburg disease, Balò's concentric sclerosis, and tumefactive MS.

Purpose: Tumefactive demyelination (TD) lesion and its subtype Balo's concentric sclerosis (BCS), are rare manifestations of central nervous system demyelinating disease. Because of its rarity, physicians might hesitate in reaching a diagnosis or initiating steroid pulse therapy. This study aims at pinpointing the key neuroimaging features to distinguish TD lesions from surgical conditions, and illustrating the clinical outcomes of patients with TD lesions.
