SPONTANEOUS CEREBROSPINAL FLUID LEAK AFTER INITIATION OF DOPAMINE AGONIST THERAPY IN MACROPROLACTINOMAS: TWO CASE REPORTS AND A LITERATURE REVIEW

Spontaneous Cerebrospinal Fluid Leak after Initiation of Dopamine Agonist Therapy in Macroprolactinomas: Two Case Reports and a Literature Review

ABSTRACT: Objective: To describe 2 spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks complicating treatment of macroprolactinoma (MPRL) with dopamine agonist (DA) therapy.Methods: We present the 2 cases of spontaneous, DA-related CSF leaks.Prolactin levels were used to assess hyperprolactinemia.Beta-2 transferrin was tested in rhinorrhea fluid, and magne

An appraisal of lung computer tomography in very early anti-inflammatory treatment of two different ovine ARDS phenotypes

Abstract Mortality and morbidity of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) are largely unaltered.A possible new approach to treatment of ARDS is offered by the discovery of inflammatory subphenotypes.In an ovine model of ARDS phenotypes, matching key features of the human subphenotypes, we provide an imaging characterization using computer tomo
