| Rare TTF-1 Posterior Pituitary Tumors with Distinctive Morphologic and Immunohistochemical Features: Mini-Series - Two Cases | Author : Ayse Buse Melik, Lara Bilici, Gazanfer Ekinci, Fahrettin Kelestimur, Ugur Türe and Aydin Sav | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Two patients admitted to the hospital were to have sellar masses with similar locations and neuroradiological features but
dispatched dissimilar morphologic and immunohistochemical features. Presumptive diagnoses were meningioma of the first case,

| Comparing Resilience: The Divergent Experiences of Military Personnel and Civilians | Author : Manpreet Kaur | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The concept of psychological well-being revolves around
the intricate combination of experiencing positive emotions
and functioning effectively. Feeling good encompasses not

like affection, confidence, and engagement. On the other hand,
functioning effectively encompasses the development of one’s
potential, maintaining control over life, having a sense of
purpose by working towards valued goals, and fostering positive
relationships. In the present scenario, military personnel and
civilians exhibit notable variations in how their psychological well-
being intertwines with resilience. |
| Cerebral Vasculitis in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) : Case Report and Literature Review | Author : Abderrazzak AJERTIL, Najat KABBAJ and Abdeljalil EL QUESSAR | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :Cerebral vasculitis, though rare, represents a serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and poses numerous
challenges in terms of management due to its potential for severe neurological consequences and often poor prognosis. We report
the case of a 32-year-old man with SLE who presented with three seizure episodes and cognitive deterioration. Neurological
examinations, laboratory analyses, and imaging findings led to a diagnosis of cerebral vasculitis secondary to SLE. Despite intensive
immunosuppressive treatment, the patient’s neurological condition deteriorated, resulting in multiorgan failure. |
