Routine Tests for Suprarenal and Pituitary Function

Sodium valproate and routine liver function tests.

Manifestations of suprarenal insufficiency occurring with pituitary tumours.

The urgent symptoms which frequently result from compression of the optic nerves and chiasm have focused attention upon themselves so that some of the manifestations of adrenal cortical insufficiency secondary to " pituitary tumour " have received scant notice. This is not to say that they are totally unknown, but they form a submerged body of knowledge to which relatively little importance is ...

Preoperative and Postoperative Pituitary Function in Patients with Tuberculum Sellae Meningioma -Based on Pituitary Provocation Tests-

Given the anatomical proximity of tuberculum sellae meningioma (TSM) to the hypothalamo-pituitary system, pituitary function impairments are of great concern. We retrospectively investigated pituitary function changes following surgery in patients with TSM using pituitary provocation tests (PPTs). Thirty-one patients (27 females and 4 males) with TSM underwent initial transcranial surgery (29 p...

compactifications and function spaces on weighted semigruops

chapter one is devoted to a moderate discussion on preliminaries, according to our requirements. chapter two which is based on our work in (24) is devoted introducting weighted semigroups (s, w), and studying some famous function spaces on them, especially the relations between go (s, w) and other function speces are invesigated. in fact this chapter is a complement to (32). one of the main fea...

Evaluation of Tests for Separability and Symmetry of Spatio-temporal Covariance Function

In recent years, some investigations have been carried out to examine the assumptions like stationarity, symmetry and separability of spatio-temporal covariance function which would considerably simplify fitting a valid covariance model to the data by parametric and nonparametric methods. In this article, assuming a Gaussian random field, we consider the likelihood ratio separability test, a va...
