acromegaly/吐き気

OBJECTIVE Pituitary apoplexy is a rare clinical syndrome associated with rapid enlargement of a pituitary mass. We report the initial presentation, subsequent course and outcome of an acromegalic patient who developed spontaneous remission following pituitary apoplexy with pathologic findings of

The long term effectiveness and tolerance of terguride, a new ergot derivative, as initial therapy were evaluated in 20 patients with pathological hyperprolactinemia (PHP; group A) and 7 patients with acromegaly. We also studied 10 patients with PHP whose treatment was changed from bromocriptine or

Pasireotide (SOM-230) is a small somatostatin (SST) analog that is being developed by Novartis Pharma AG for the potential treatment of acromegaly, Cushing's disease and neuroendocrine tumors; the compound is currently in phase III clinical trials for Cushing's disease. Pasireotide exhibits high

Pituitary apoplexy (PA), which is one of the most serious life-threatening complications of pituitary adenoma, is characterized by abrupt onset of headache, nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances and oculomotor paresis. Combination of oculomotor cranial nerve paralysis with normal visual fields is

Pituitary apoplexy is the most serious and life-threatening complication of pituitary adenomas. Most of the cases occur spontaneously but it may occur also after a number of events such as the pituitary stimulation tests. We report a case of acromegaly due to a giant pituitary adenoma in which

Patients with acromegaly usually present with characteristic clinical features or comorbidities associated with excess insulinlike growth factor 1 (IGF-1)/growth hormone (GH) or may come to medical attention secondary to mass effects causing visual field distortions. Herein, we report a case of

BACKGROUND In patients with acromegaly, somatostatin analogs (SSA) represent the first choice medical treatment. The long-acting SSA have been found to be effective in controlling growth hormone and IGF-I levels in a high percentage of patients, resulting in an improvement in the quality of life;

Plasma GH levels were studied following acute administration of 2.5 mg of bromocriptine (CB 154) in 12 acromegalic patients. In 9 responders, reduction of GH levels was obvious 2 to 4 hours after bromocriptine administration and the lowest values were achieved between 5 and 8 hours following drug

Long-acting bromocriptine (Parlodel LAR) was used for treatment of 25 patients with acromegaly during the period of 3 to 24 months. Even after the first intramuscular injection of 50 milligrams of the drug a decrease in growth hormone (GH) concentration by at least 50% of the initial values was

The effect of a new dopamine agonist, CU 32-085 (8 alpha-amino-ergoline), on pituitary function in acromegaly was evaluated by a controlled, single blind study of 12 acromegalics. The study included a single dose placebo/drug (0.5 mg CU 32-085) trial and a long-term crossover trial with 3 month

Pituitary apoplexy is a rare but potentially life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by ischemic infarction or hemorrhage into a pituitary tumor. The diagnosis of pituitary tumor apoplexy is frequently complicated because of the nonspecific nature of its signs and symptoms, which can mimic

Fifteen patients with hyperprolactinaemia and pituitary macroadenomas (5 patients), microadenomas (6 patients), or acromegaly (4 patients) were given a single intramuscular injection of 50 mg bromocriptine bound to polylactic acid microspheres, depot-bromocriptine. None of the patients had any

Medical treatment of acromegaly with dopamine agonists possesses 2 main advantages: the oral administration and the low costs. In this study, we reported on the results of chronic treatments with quinagolide (CV 205-502), cabergoline (CAB) and long-acting depot preparation of bromocriptine (BRC-LAR)

The effectiveness and side effects of a newly developed, repeatable depot-bromocriptine preparation, (Parlodel LAR, depot-bromocriptine), were studied in 7 acromegalic patients. A dose of 100 mg was injected at intervals of 28 days for 4 months, followed by 200 mg for 2 months. GH profiles (14 h)

GH and IGF-I levels are elevated in patients with acromegaly. At the time of diagnosis patients present with macroadenomas with a high surgical failure rate or microadenomas. Administration of octreotide (100 micrograms, three times daily) suppressed GH secretion during 8 h to < 5 micrograms/l in
