Top studies on Pituitary Gland

Ranked by influential-citation count and publication year.

  1. Septo-Optic-Pituitary Dysplasia Is a Clinical Syndrome, Not a Neuropathological Entity: An Autopsy-Based Study.

    The Canadian journal of neurological sciences. Le journal canadien des sciences neurologiques20261 influential citations

    <h4>Aims</h4>To describe neuropathological findings in autopsies of patients with isolated, partial or all classic features of the septo-optic-pituitary dysplasia (SOD) triad, speculate on SOD etiology and ascertain the causes of…

  2. Dense sampling for mapping pituitary growth dynamics before, during, and after pregnancy.

    Journal of neuroendocrinology20261 influential citations

    Pregnancy represents a period of profound endocrine activity and neural reorganization. While recent evidence highlights pituitary volume as a biomarker of endocrine dynamics during pregnancy, its precise trajectory (timing and relative…

  3. Cushing's disease and negative MRI: a single-center series, systematic literature review, and meta-analysis.

    Neurosurgical review2026n=4701 influential citations

    Cushing's Disease (CD) poses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly when pituitary MRI is negative for a neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET). This study systematically analyzes literature data on the surgical outcomes of patients…

  4. The efficacy of minimally invasive intraoperative ultrasound in endoscopic pituitary surgery.

    Pituitary2025n=221 influential citations

    <h4>Objective</h4>This study aims to evaluate the clinical utility of minimally invasive intraoperative ultrasound as a real-time imaging adjunct during endoscopic endonasal pituitary adenoma surgery. The goal is to determine its…

  5. Intrinsic seasonal variation in basal growth hormone secretion from rainbow trout pituitaries.

    Fish physiology and biochemistry2026n=10E

    Seasonal rhythms in growth hormone (GH) secretion are well-documented in salmonids, but whether these patterns reflect hypothalamic control or intrinsic pituitary programming remains unclear. Here I report that rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus…

  6. Perineural and intraneural invasion as prognostic indicators in salivary gland malignancies – An 18-year institutional retrospective analysis

    Journal of Stomatology Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery2026n=49

    <h4>Context</h4>Perineural invasion (PNI) and intraneural invasion (INI) are histopathological features associated with aggressive behaviour and local neural spread in salivary gland malignancies (SGMs). They facilitate tumour extension…

  7. Endoscopic endonasal approach for giant pituitary adenomas: surgical experience from a series of 25 consecutive cases

    Journal of Clinical Neuroscience2026

    <h4>Purpose</h4>Giant pituitary adenomas (GPAs) are surgically challenging tumors. Endoscopic endonasal approaches (EEAs) have been increasingly preferred for excision of GPAs. In this study we present our experience in managing GPAs using…

  8. Decoding salivary gland tumor complexities through omics integration: A systematic analysis across the 21st century

    Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology2026

    Salivary gland tumors (SGTs) are rare and biologically heterogeneous neoplasms for which conventional histopathological and single-platform molecular analyses have provided limited insights into disease mechanisms and therapeutic…

  9. Deep transfer learning radiomics combined with explainable machine learning for predicting malignancy risk in parotid gland tumors based on ultrasound

    European Journal of Radiology2026n=1,191

    <h4>Objective</h4>This study aimed to develop and validate an ultrasound (US)-based deep transfer learning radiomics model, integrated with explainable machine learning, for the preoperative malignant risk prediction of parotid gland…

  10. Refining adjuvant radiation therapy decision using a nomogram in major salivary gland carcinoma

    Radiotherapy and Oncology2026n=1,175

    <h4>Introduction</h4>Major salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) comprises diverse histologies with multiple interrelated risk factors, making it difficult to determine which patients truly benefit from post-operative radiotherapy (PORT). We…
