loss, nausea, vomiting; intermittent diarrhea and sphincter incontinence (Connors and Sheikholislam, 1977; Cellina et al., 2015; Ospina-García et al., 2018).Functional neuroimaging shows that the hypothalamus has a close relationship with satiety and hunger in humans (Al-Zubaidi et al., 2018)...
Craniopharyngioma: This type of tumor occurs in the pituitary gland, located near the hypothalamus. These are usually benign tumors but can be sometimes considered malignant as they may press upon or damage the hypothalamus, which affect certain vital functions of the brain part. They are most oft...
Ovulation is controlled by a series of hormone chain reactions originating from the brain's hypothalamus. Every month, as part of a woman's menstrual cycle, follicles rupture, releasing an egg from the ovary. A follicle is a small fluid sac that contains the female gametes (eggs) inside the...
The patient was diagnosed with an intracranial beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-hCG) secreting germ-cell tumor, and brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed that the tumor involved the pineal gland, stalk, posterior pituitary gland, right basal ganglion, hypothalamus, corpus callosum and ...
Another member of the IL-6 family, LIF, also induces skeletal muscle wasting and increases lipolysis via receptors on both adipocytes and the hypothalamus [25,26]. IL-1α induces muscle cachexia and anorexia via increased proteolysis in skeletal muscle, while IL-1β affects the hypothalamic–...
There’s also a series of complications that could result from disturbing my hypothalamus (whom I’ve named Cerise. Obviously). She might not take kindly to Steve being evicted. I imagine the two of them are in this weird dysfunctional relationship, and Cerise really doesn’t want Steve to ...
otheranterior pituitary hormonedeficiencies may occur. Germ cell tumors often originate in the suprasellarhypothalamusor pineal gland, and they may show subependymal spread along the lining of the third ventricle such that seeding of thecerebrospinal fluidleads to involvement of the lower spinal cord an...
(10) no midline shift in structural images, as confirmed by the in situ location of midline structures of the brain (corpus callosum, septa pellucidum, third ventricle, hypothalamus, and pineal region); (11) both structural and functional images covered the whole brain, especially the whole ...
(Chapter 232) may also occur. Symptoms resulting fromhypothalamic dysfunctionare related to the size of the lesion and consequently to the area of the hypothalamus involved, as well as to the rapidity of the increase in lesion size. Slowly growing lesions tend to cause problems of hormone ...
