A rare case of double pituitary prolactinomas: the diagnostic application of intraoperative ultrasonography and DNA methylation markers by Jared C. Reese, Thomas M. Zervos, Jack Rock, Abeer Tabbarah, Houtan Noushmehr, Grayson Herrgott, Ana Valeria Castro

“…This approach can be useful to distinguish sellar masses mimicking PTs based on nonspecific imaging features and to monitor for early recurrence of PTs, particularly nonfunctioning PTs lacking specific biochemical markers. This case also illustrated the role of IOUS in identifying multiple PTs missed by visual inspection alone, leading to improved patient outcomes through complete tumor resection.…”

A Case Report of Acute-on-Chronic Methemoglobinemia by Gabriel Lathrop, Rodney Fullmer

“…Introduction: Methemoglobinemia is a rare hematologic disorder of hemoglobin, in which iron contained within the heme moiety becomes oxidized from ferrous iron to ferric iron at a concentration greater than 1% in the blood. This biochemical change reduces binding affinity for oxygen, leading to impaired oxygen deposition in tissues and subsequent hypoxia and hypoxemia. …”
