Recent advances in molecular pathology of craniopharyngioma.
Sarah Larkin,Niki Karavitaki +1 more
TL;DR: Recent key advances in the understanding of the molecular pathology of craniopharyngiomas are outlined and some of the challenges that need to be overcome are discussed for the development of targeted therapies that will hopefully improve the management and the outcomes of these patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Males with prolactinoma are at increased risk of incident cardiovascular disease.
Konstantinos A Toulis,Tim Robbins,Tim Robbins,Narendra Reddy,Kumarendran Balachandran,Krishna Gokhale,Haren E. Wijesinghe,Kar Keung Cheng,Niki Karavitaki,Niki Karavitaki,John A.H. Wass,Krishnarajah Nirantharakumar,Krishnarajah Nirantharakumar +12 more
TL;DR: To investigate whether the risk of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increased in patients with prolactinoma, a large number of patients are enrolled in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diagnosis and management of Cushing's syndrome in pregnancy
TL;DR: Management of endogenous Cushing's syndrome is highly individualised: the decision for surgery, medical control of hypercortisolism or adoption of a conservative approach is dependent on the timing of diagnosis, the ability to localise the tumour, severity of CS, pre‐existing maternal comorbidity, and, ultimately, patient choice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prolactinomas diagnosed in the postmenopausal period:: clinical phenotype and outcomes
Sandhya Santharam,Metaxia Tampourlou,Metaxia Tampourlou,Metaxia Tampourlou,Wiebke Arlt,Wiebke Arlt,Wiebke Arlt,John Ayuk,Neil Gittoes,Neil Gittoes,Neil Gittoes,Andrew Toogood,Andrew Toogood,Rachel Webster,Rachel Webster,Niki Karavitaki,Niki Karavitaki,Niki Karavitaki +17 more
TL;DR: The objective was to assess the presenting clinical, biochemical and imaging findings, as well as the outcomes of women diagnosed with a prolactinoma in the postmenopausal period.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of chronic in vivo glucocorticoid excess on the functional characteristics of human skin fibroblasts obtained from patients with endogenous Cushing's syndrome.
Irene Zervolea,Harris Pratsinis,Stylianos Tsagarakis,Niki Karavitaki,Dimitri Stathakos,N. Thalassinos,Dimitris Kletsas +6 more
TL;DR: Functional characteristics of CFs are in contrast to the known catabolic effects of GCs, and suggest that prior exposure to GC excess is not associated with a persisting adverse outcome in the functional phenotype of the fibroblasts.
