Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction of ischaemic and non-ischaemic aetiology – Clinical characteristics, prognosis and factors associated with outcome
(2022-10-28)

Non-functioning pituitary adenomas and hypopituitarism - studies on morbidity and mortality
(2022-06-15)
Background and aims: Hypopituitarism is most commonly caused by benign pituitary tumors, often resulting in insidious symptoms that develop over a long time. Due to either a mass effect exerted by the tumor, or due to the ...
Non-functioning pituitary tumours - mortality, morbidity and tumour progression
(2014-04-16)
Non-functioning pituitary tumours, i.e. non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) and
