Brain tumor classification: a novel approach integrating GLCM, LBP and composite features
Identifying and classifying tumors are critical in-patient care and treatment planning within the medical domain. Nevertheless, the conventional approach of manually examining tumor images is characterized by its lengthy duration and subjective nature. In response to this challenge, a novel method is proposed that integrates the capabilities of Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM) features and Local Binary Pattern (LBP) features to conduct a quantitative analysis of tumor images (Glioma, Meningioma, Pituitary Tumor). The key contribution of this study pertains to the development of interaction features, which are obtaine...

Reporting of Participants' Sex, Race, Ethnicity, and Socioeconomic Status in Pituitary Surgery Literature
Conclusions Most clinical pituitary research collects and reports data on participant sex. However, very few studies collect and report data on other sociodemographic variables that can play a role in outcomes. The lack of sociodemographic information in clinical research literature makes it difficult to determine the role of SDOH on pituitary surgery outcomes.

Secondary vs. primary pituitary xanthogranulomas: Which yellow is more mellow?
Endocr J. 2024 Jan 27. doi: 10.1507/endocrj.EJ23-0398. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPituitary xanthogranulomatomas (XG) are a rare pathological entity caused by accumulation of lipid laden macrophages and reactive granuloma formation usually triggered by cystic fluid leakage or hemorrhage. Our aim was to compare clinical characteristics and presenting features of patients with secondary etiology of XG and those with no identifiable founding lesion (primary -"pure" XG) in order to gain new insights into this rare pituitary pathology. In a retrospective review of 714 patients operated for sellar masses, at tertiary center, ...

Growth hormone directly stimulates GATA2 expression
CONCLUSION: These findings suggest that GH directly stimulates GATA2 via the GHR/JAK/STAT pathway and participates in various developmental phenomena mediated by GATA2.PMID:38281404 | DOI:10.1016/j.ghir.2024.101572 (Source: Growth Hormone and IGF Research)

Low-grade magnetic resonance image enhancement using adaptive sigmoid transformation function
ConclusionsAfter considerable testing, it was discovered that the suggested method effectively increases visual contrast while retaining the original characteristics of the input picture and avoiding overly or inadequately improved images. (Source: Health and Technology)

Prevalence, clinical presentation, management of pituitary tumour and its complications among elderly population in Mumbai, India
Bioinformation. 2023 Dec 31;19(12):1139-1144. doi: 10.6026/973206300191139. eCollection 2023.ABSTRACTPituitary tumour is not typically thought of as an elderly patient's condition. Hence, we examined all cases of confirmed or suspected pituitary tumour diagnosed in a tertiary hospitals at Mumbai, India during May 2015 and May 2023 among patients over the age of 70 to evaluate the prevalence, clinical presentation, management, complications in elderly patients with a pituitary tumour. After the age of 70 years, 16% people having pituitary tumour were observed. The volume of fossa was statistically greater in elderly patient...
