Diagnosis of pituitary abscess and treatment via transsphenoidal surgery: experience from 15 cases
CONCLUSIONS: The typical manifestations of pituitary abscess include hypopituitarism and headaches; the presence of an enhanced ring at the edge of the mass on contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance images (MRI) is highly suggestive of pituitary abscess. We recommend antibiotic treatment for 4-6 weeks postoperatively, based on the results of bacterial cultures or metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS).PMID:37598621 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101478 (Source: Neurochirurgie)

Urolithin A alleviates early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage by regulating the AMPK/mTOR pathway-mediated autophagy
CONCLUSION: UA alleviates neurological deficits, BBB permeability, and cerebral edema by inhibiting cortical neuronal apoptosis through regulating the AMPK/mTOR pathway-dependent autophagy in rats following SAH.PMID:37598622 | DOI:10.1016/j.neuchi.2023.101480 (Source: Neurochirurgie)
