The 2017 WHO classification of pituitary tumors is still based on structural analyses and expression of various pituitary hormones. Three innovations have to be considered: (1) The expression of pituitary transcription factors Pit‑1, T‑Pit and SF‑1. (2) The term "atypical adenoma" was replaced by "aggressive adenoma". (3) The three tumor types of the neurohypophysis (pituicytoma, spindle cell oncocytoma, granular cell tumor) are defined by their common expression of TTF‑1. Craniophyryngiomas are identified as adamantinomatous type by focal nuclear expression of β‑catenin or as papillary type by demonstration of BRAF V600E mutation. Further primary tumors of the pituitary are extremely rare. These and also the other tumors of the sellar region can be structurally very similar to pituitary adenomas but can be-nearly without exception-differentiated by immunocytochemistry.

Background: Child mortality is a reliable and significant indicator of a nation's health. Although the child mortality rate in Bangladesh is declining over time, it still needs to drop even more in order to meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Machine Learning models are one of the best tools for making more accurate and efficient forecasts and gaining in-depth knowledge.

Objective: Bacterial gastroenteritis is a significant public health concern, capable of causing severe infections. Among the various pathogens involved, those belonging to the Enterobacteriaceae family are the most frequently isolated and associated with gastrointestinal disorders. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of common diarrheagenic Enterobacteriaceae in Iran over the past two decades, from 2000 to 2023.

Fusarium türleri, insanlarda keratit ve onikomikoz başta olmak üzere invaziv veya invaziv olmayan çeşitli enfeksiyonlarda etken olan küf mantarlarıdır. Taksonomide Fusarium cinsi, tür kompleks [species complex (SC)]'lere ayrılmış, SC'ler de türlere ayrılmıştır. SC/tür düzeyinde identifikasyonun, morfolojik özelliklere göre yapılmasının güçlüğü nedeniyle moleküler yöntemlerin kullanımı önerilmektedir.

Introduction: Transition to outpatient surgery has grown with an emphasis on delivery of safe, high-quality medical care. The purpose of this study is to compare 90-day emergency department (ED) visits, readmissions, and complications between patients undergoing outpatient versus inpatient pollicization surgery.
Methods: A single institution database was queried for primary thumb pollicization from 2010 to 2022 in patients under 18 years of age.
