This issue of Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics, edited by Drs. Anat Ben-Shlomo and Maria Fleseriu, is devoted to Pituitary Disorders. Articles in this issue include: Pathogenesis of Pituitary Tumors; Prognostic Clinicopathological Classification of Pituitary Adenomas; Familial Isolated Pituitary Adenomas (FIPA) and Mutations in the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Interacting Protein (AIP) Gene; Pitfalls of IGF1 and GH Assays; Acromegaly: Pharmacotherapy; Hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal Axis Testing; Pharmacotherapy of Cushing Disease: New Targets; Prolactinomas; Non-functioning Pituitary Tumors; Cabergoline Use for Pituitary Tumors and Valvular Disorders; Aggressive Atypical Pituitary Tumors and Carcinoma; Outcomes of Endoscopic Transsphenoidal Pituitary Surgery; Efficacy and Complications of Pituitary Irradiation; Hypopituitarism: GH and ACTH Deficiency; Hypophysitis; Hypopituitarism After Traumatic Brain Injury; Quality of Life in Pituitary Diseases; Pituitary and Bone Disease; Pituitary Tumor Management in Pregnancy; and Pituitary Apoplexy.
This book bridges the gap between data scientists and clinicians by introducing all relevant aspects of machine learning in an accessible way, and will certainly foster new and serendipitous applications of machine learning in the clinical neurosciences. Building from the ground up by communicating the foundational knowledge and intuitions first before progressing to more advanced and specific topics, the book is well-suited even for clinicians without prior machine learning experience. Authored by a wide array of experienced global machine learning groups, the book is aimed at clinicians who are interested in mastering the basics of machine learning and who wish to get started with their ow...
This two-volume set LNCS 12658 and 12659 constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 6th International MICCAI Brainlesion Workshop, BrainLes 2020, the International Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, and the Computational Precision Medicine: Radiology-Pathology Challenge on Brain Tumor Classification (CPM-RadPath) challenge. These were held jointly at the 23rd Medical Image Computing for Computer Assisted Intervention Conference, MICCAI 2020, in Lima, Peru, in October 2020.* The revised selected papers presented in these volumes were organized in the following topical sections: brain lesion image analysis (16 selected papers from 21 submissions); brain tumor image segmentation (69 selected papers from 75 submissions); and computational precision medicine: radiology-pathology challenge on brain tumor classification (6 selected papers from 6 submissions). *The workshop and challenges were held virtually.
The prefrontal cortex contains Brodmann areas BA8, BA9, BA10, BA11, BA12, BA13, BA14, BA24, BA25, BA32, BA44, BA45, BA46, and BA47, and it is thought to be involved in psychological functions such as executive tasks, attention, and memory. This Research Topic concerns BA8, BA9, BA10, and BA11 only, since they are the most rostral and might be involved in more elementary computations as compared to, say, BA46, which is clearly involved in working memory. This region of the brain is often treated as an undifferentiated structure, on the one hand, or as a mosaic of psychological faculties, on the other. A third option is to address the landscape of the prefrontal cortex anatomically and functionally, based on the premise that structure and function are inextricably related. This Research Topic sees itself as a descendant of Goldman-Rakic's horizontal division of the prefrontal cortex into spatial, "where", more output-oriented areas in the dorsal prefrontal cortex, and object, "what", more input-oriented areas in the ventral prefrontal cortex.
Breast cancer and its treatment is a terribly complex problem that involves all the intricacies of the human body, the anatomical and microscopic anatomy of the breast, the endocrine system, and bone metabolism, as well as the nature of malignant transformation. Even experts still have uncertainties. However, there is now an ethical and legal obligation for specialists to share their uncertainties with their patients when we are looking for informed consent before invasive procedures. Obsessive ruminations about the threat of breast cancer mean that few in the lay public know that breast cancer has slipped out of the top seven causes of death for women. Treatments for breast cancer might inc...
