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

Physical Activation of Wooden Chips and the Effect of Particle Size, Initial Humidity, and Acetic Acid Extraction on the Properties of Activated Carbons

In this research study, two Cameras different wooden biomasses (birch and pine) were thermally carbonized and steam-activated into activated carbons in a one-stage process.The effects of particle size and humidity (as received and oven-dried) on the properties, such as specific surface areas, pore volumes, and pore size distributions, of the final
