Radiation-induced hypopituitarism.
The hypothalamic-pituitary unit is a particularly radiosensitive region in the central nervous system. As a consequence, hypopituitarism commonly develops after radiation treatments for sellar and parasellar neoplasms, extrasellar brain tumours, head and neck tumours, and following whole body irradiation for systemic malignancies. Increasing tumour-related survival rates provide an expanding po...
متن کاملLoperamide-induced hypopituitarism
Loperamide is the most commonly used antidiarrhoeal medication in the UK. We report a serious and hitherto undocumented adverse effect of chronic use in a 45-year-old man with inflammatory bowel disease. He presented to the endocrine clinic with fatigue and low libido; biochemical assessment revealed hypogonadism and adrenal insufficiency without any elevated adrenocorticotropic hormone. When s...
متن کاملHypopituitarism in adult patients with non-pituitary brain cancer following radiation therapy
Introduction: The purpose and our novelty of the current study were to evaluate the HPA function in adult survivors of primary non-pituitary brain tumors and its association with treatment-related factors such as received dose to the organs at risk, age at irradiation, surgery, and adjuvant chemotherapy in patients treated with RT for brain tumors. Moreover, it aimed to achie...
متن کاملRadiation Induced Bystander Effect
Introduction: Radiation effects observed in cells that are not irradiated are known as non-targeted effects. Radiation induced bystander effect (RIBE) as a kind of non-targeted effect has been introduced in recent years. RIBE occurs in unexposed cells which are related to adjacent or distant irradiated cells. RIBE contradict with "target theory" which necessitates radiation tr...
متن کاملRadiation- induced cognitive impairments
Introduction: Ionizing radiation is non-surgical treatment of brain tumors and metastases. Preclinical studies have showed main insights into harmful effects of radiation on the nervous system in vivo and in vitro. Cognitive impairment such as progressive memory, executive and attention performance deficits indicates a significant risk for patients experiencing conventional rad...
