Specific focus on the basal dura for improving Cushing’s disease surgery: a cohort study
Background and objectives In Cushing’s disease, the rate of endocrine remission after surgery reaches about 80% in expert centers. However, due to the tumor’s ability to invade surrounding dural structures, hypercortisolism persists in 20% of patients or recurs in 15%....
Cog-First: Standardization of a Tablet-Based Self-Administered Cognitive Screening
