Journal ArticleDOI
Recurrence of hyperprolactinemia after selective transsphenoidal adenomectomy in women with prolactinoma.
TL;DR: It is concluded that recurrence of hyperprolactinemia after successful surgery is frequent but delayed, and the immediate postoperative level of plasma prolactin was significantly lower in patients in whom normal prolactinema was maintained than in those who relapsed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The clinical and endocrine outcome to trans-sphenoidal microsurgery of nonsecreting pituitary adenomas
TL;DR: Data indicate that trans‐sphenoidal microsurgery is an effective and safe initial treatment for patients with nonsecreting pituitary adenoma and may reverse hypopituitarism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive decline in patients with Cushing's syndrome.
TL;DR: The results suggest that chronic exposure to elevated levels of cortisol is associated with deficits in several areas of cognition, particularly those involving processing of selective attention and visual components.
Journal ArticleDOI

S. Thomas Bigos,M. Somma,Eugenio Rasio,Richard C. Eastman,André Lanthier,Hugh H. Johnston,Jules Hanrdy +6 more
TL;DR: Tumor histology revealed 19 basophilic adenomas; electron microscopy and immunochemical studies revealed only ACTH cells; Circadian rhythm returned in 6 cured patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolactin secretion in sixty-five patients with galactorrhea.
TL;DR: Neither a single elevated serum prolactin level nor the degree of suppressibility after L-dopa administration was diagnostic of a pituitary tumor, however, a history of consistently high serum Prolactin concentrations was highly indicative of a prolactIn-secreting tumor.
