Abstract

OBJECTIVE: The reason for longstanding fatigue following aneurysmal subarachnoidal hemorrhage (SAH) is still not clarified. The bleed from supratentorial aneurysms is often in the vicinity of the hypothalamus and pituitary gland making an endocrine dysfunction plausible. METHODS: Ten patients with post-SAH fatigue were investigated with 3D-CBF (SPECT) and underwent an evaluation of the pituitary function. RESULTS: Five had normal pituitary function. Disturbances in the gonadotropin function was detected in three patients and suspected in two. The mean insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) value of the patients was in the lower part of the reference range. In the patients with endocrine dysfunction, the 3D-CBF was pathologic in the central structures of the basal region. CONCLUSIONS: The present results indicate that an aneurysmal SAH may result in partially impaired pituitary capacity. This deficit may contribute to fatigue after aneurysmal SAH, but cannot solely explain this disorder. SPECT identified regional tissue damage in the patients with pituitary dysfunction after SAH.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In the TBI population, the ITT has been used by some authors without adverse effects, but other authors have used alternative tests, suggesting possible danger of the ITT.

    “In the TBI population, this test has been used by some authors (18,29,196,197) without adverse effects, but other authors have used alternative tests, suggesting the possible danger of ITT (195,198).”

    From Pituitary Dysfunction After Traumatic Brain Injury: A Clinical and Pathophysiological Approach (2015) · cites this paper as [196]

    In “Evaluation of pituitary function” (page unavailable), the authors report withholding insulin-induced hypoglycemia from patients with a history of epileptic seizures or neurological sequelae and using basal hormone measurements. This supports the suggestion of a safety concern, but the study involved patients after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, not a TBI population; it does not establish ITT danger in TBI.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
