Practice-dependent plasticity underlies motor learning in everyday life and motor relearning after lesions of the nervous system. Previous studies showed that practice-dependent plasticity is modifiable by neuromodulating transmitters such as norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) or acetylcholine (ACh). Here we explored, for the first time comprehensively and systematically, the modifying effects ...

It is premature to make a recommendation for treatment of peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) with prolactin inhibition (bromocriptine or cabergoline) as in the one-case report of Melo et al.1 There are now multiple reports of trials for PPCM subjects in the use prolactin inhibition treatment compared with non-use of this modality that show no statistically significant benefit in recovery outcomes...

Prolactinomas are the most common type of pituitary adenomas. Macroprolactinomas are the name used for these tumors when their size is ≥ 1 cm. These tumors commonly cause symptoms due to the excessive production of prolactin as well as complaints caused by tumor mass and compression of neural adjacent structures. Clinical diagnosis and assessment of macroprolactinoma are based on the measuremen...
