Authors: Price Bronwyn , Huber Nica , Eggenberg Stefan , Ginzler Christian
Published: April 2023

Lebensraumkarten mit hoher thematischer und räumlicher Auflösung, die weiträumige Gebiete abdecken, sind grundlegende Instrumente für die Planung ökologischer Netzwerke und das Management von Biodiversität. Um eine Lebensraumkarte für die Schweiz zu erstellen, haben wir die besten verfügbaren räumlichen Daten und Verbreitungsmodelle in einer integrierten Methode zusammengeführt. Der Ansatz stützt sich auf die Segmentierung und Klassifizierung von Fernerkundungsdaten mit hoher räumlicher Auflösung, inklusive Orthobilder (1 m Auflösung) und Satellitenbilder von Planet (3 m Auflösung) und Sentinel-1 und -2 (10 m respektive 20 m Auflösung). 84 TypoCH Lebensräume in 32 Gruppen und 9 übergreifenden Klassen wurden schweizweit räumlich explizit mit feiner räumlicher und thematischer Auflösung kartiert. Die erstellte Karte ist im WSL-Datenportal EnviDat und auf map.geo.admin.ch frei zugänglich.

Authors: Douard Romain , Milani Gillian , Hennig Ernest
Published: April 2023

In der Schweiz ist das Bundesamt für Statistik (BFS) mit der Produktion der Schweizer Arealstatistik beauftragt. Hierzu wird die Bodennutzung und -bedeckung durch visuelle Interpretation von Luftbildern erfasst. Dieser Prozess ist kostenintensiv und zeitaufwändig. Die Anforderung, die Arealstatistik für die gesamte Schweiz in 6 Jahren durchzuführen, bedeutet eine enorme Herausforderung. Um dieses Ziel zu erreichen, wurde ein Tool zur Automatisierung auf der Basis künstlicher Intelligenz (ADELE) entwickelt. Eine primäre Integration von ADELE in den Erhebungsprozess im Juli 2022 führte bereits zu einer automatischen Interpretation von 27 % der Stichprobenpunkte mit einer Genauigkeit von über 98 %. Weitere Entwicklungen zur Optimierung des Prozesses sind in Planung, welche den Anteil der automatisch bearbeiteten Punkte erhöhen sollen, ohne die Qualität der Erhebung zu beeinträchtigen.

Authors: Mujadadi Mirsubhan , Hammad Fazil Ahmad
Published: April 2023

Apostasy is one of the main topics in Persian poetry and literature. Nasser Khosrow believes that the virtue of man is to pay attention to the impermanence and mortality of material manifestations, and those who are captives of the world and worldly belongings; He considers it a disgrace. Perhaps it can be said that in the complete biography of the worldly and ascetic poetry of Dari Persian literature, Nasser Khosrow is Kesai and the peak of it is Sana'i.  The high frequency of worldly aversion theme in the poem is dependence on the court and their abandonment. The images of the world in the mind of Nasser Khosrow; It is well conveyed through the dictionary. These pictures show its true face. Nasser Khosrow's depiction of the world is not only ugly and unpleasant; Sometimes he looks wise. It should be said that the poet has given many advices on leaving the world and worldly desires, the main reason for which is the impermanence and transience of the world.

Načrtovanje trženja v visokošolski knjižnici
Authors: Ulčakar Tomaž
Published: April 2023

V akademskem okolju je dejavnostim trženja namenjeno premalo pozornosti, še zlasti to velja v visokošolskih knjižnicah, kjer sta trženje in promocija knjižnice ter njenih storitev pomembna za ozaveščanje uporabnikov o obstoju knjižnice, zbirke in storitev. V zadnjem obdobju se visokošolske knjižnic soočajo z nekaterimi bistvenimi spremembami, ki širijo storitve knjižnice preko meja tradicionalno najpomembnejše izposoje gradiva. Knjižnice prevzemajo vedno več novih vlog, saj se v zelo kratkem času razvijajo nove storitve. Ustvarjanje blagovne znamke in trženje specializiranih knjižničnih storitev v visokošolski knjižnici je lahko uspešno z upoštevanjem teoretičnih konceptov načrtovanja trženja. Del načrtovanja trženja je tudi segmentacija uporabnikov, ki razkrije ključne skupine in tako lahko visokošolska knjižnica oblikuje ciljno trženje in prilagaja storitve zgolj določeni skupini uporabnikov. Osnovna trženjska strategija s pomočjo koncepta »7 P« trženjskega spleta bo prikazana na primeru Centralne ekonomske knjižnice, ki tako izkazuje ustreznost koncepta za visokošolske knjižnice. Prikaz trženjskega načrta Centralne ekonomske knjižnice bo pokazal, da je možno uspešno tržiti nove, specializirane storitve ter ustvariti novo blagovno znamko. Ker se družba in tehnologija zelo hitro spreminjata, se tudi zahteve uporabnikov dinamično spreminjajo, zato se morajo knjižnice na to vseskozi prilagajati in vzpostavljati nove načrte trženja.

Decision-Making for Prisoners Considered for Parole: A Case Study of Prisons In Dar es Salaam Region, Tanzania
Authors: Mkisi Norbert
Published: April 2023

This article examines the decision-making of the parole system in Tanzania, and how such decisions grant some prisoners’ parole but deny others. The study was conducted from June to August 2018. It used to examine the criteria used to deny parole to 691 out of 5773 prisoners who were considered for parole between August 1999 and March 2018.The study was conducted at Ukonga, Keko, and Segerea Prisons, Dar es Salaam Region. The study utilized structural functionalism and focal concern theories. The study employed a qualitative research approach and exploratory research design. The research participants included regional and national parole boards, secretariats to the parole boards, officers’ in-charge of prisons, parole officers, and the prisoners who had been denied parole while still in prisons. The findings suggest that parole boards and decision makers used criteria other than those in legal instruments to deny parole to prisoners. The criteria included change of offenses contrary to court sentences, subjective perception, and negative attitude on some offenses as well as victims’ opinions. It is recommended that there is a need for further studies to analyze parole needs, and the law should be amended to minimize powers given to certain levels of the system in making overriding decisions on parole.
FEMALE HEALTH AMIDST THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Fedorchenko Yuliya
Published: April 2023

As COVID-19 morbidity rates continue to increase tremendously across the world, it has a profound effect on female health.

The available data suggest that men demonstrate greater disease severity and/or mortality than women in the middle-aged group, however, these differences seem not to be preserved in the elderly patients.

Clinicians should consider gender disparities in diagnostic and therapeutic management. The severity of COVID-19 viral infection is tightly linked with cytokine balance which is inevitably influenced by hormonal changes. Lack of estrogens during the ageing process in women poses a significant threat during the acute phase as well as in the sequel, which may result in autoimmunity or long-term complications. Research on female ageing amid the COVID-19 pandemic is urgently needed to alleviate immune dysfunction in these patients, define best practices, and develop health promotion strategies.
TELEREHABILITATION AFTER HIP-FRACTURE SURGERY
Authors: Aykan Sanem Aslihan , Akyuz Gulseren
Published: April 2023

Hip fracture is one of the most common fractures among the elderly population with high rates of mortality and morbidity. The annual incidence of hip fractures is predicted to be increased by around 16 times by the year 2050. Due to the high cost of traditional rehabilitation after hip fracture surgery and the effect of pandemics, telerehabilitation after hip fracture is gaining more importance in recent years. This review is designed to examine the importance and progress of telerehabilitation after hip fracture surgery. PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for English-language sources were searched from their inception using the keywords telerehabilitation and hip fracture between January 2014 and January 2023. The literature search resulted in 29 non-duplicate records and 8 of them were eligible and were included in this review. Telerehabilitation is a feasible, safe, and effective rehabilitation method after hip fracture surgery. However, the ability of elderly patients and their caregivers to use technology and apply what they see seems to be a big disadvantage. The literature lacks long-term studies with larger patient groups.

Authors: Pidvalna Uliana , Bodak Petro , Vyshynska Sophia , Beshley Dmytro
Published: April 2023

Introduction. Patients with acute myocardial infarction should be treated with early revascularization. Patients over 73 years have a higher risk of infarct-related cardiogenic shock, which is a leading cause of lethality. Unfortunately, little is known about myocardial revascularization care for elderly people in Ukraine. We presented a 92-year-old lady with an acute chest pain case report, which was not revealed by analgesics.

Important clinical findings. Coronary angiography revealed thrombotic occlusion of the distal segment of the left anterior descending artery (LAD) and floated thrombus in LAD mid-segment; stenosis of the left circumflex artery (LCx) close to the first obtuse marginal artery (OM1).

The main diagnosis. Acute myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation of the left ventricle anterior wall (anterior-STEMI). Calcific aortic valve disease, severe aortic valve stenosis, significant mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation, pulmonary hypertension. Heart failure with reduced LVEF (<40%), NYHA class III symptoms.

Intervention. The decision was to perform urgent stenting in LAD and balloon angioplasty in LCx. Successful hospital discharge was after 14 days.

Conclusions. Take-away lessons: Elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction can be successfully treated in Ukraine. Age and comorbidities are not a contraindication for early myocardial revascularization.

Pain: the use of paracetamol in multimorbid patients
Authors: Salamone Francesco
Published: April 2023

Introduction: More than one third of Italians have at least 2 chronic comorbidities, and this percentage is more than 50% after the age of 75 years. The presence of comorbidities has as a consequence politreatments, with a high probability of drug interactions and adverse events.Methods: Medical literature about physiopathology of pain and its treatments was reviewed and combined with expert opinion of the authors.
Results: Pain is “An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with, or resembling that associated with, actual or potential tissue damage”. Chronic pain is one of the main factors that impact on quality of life and is the leading reason why patients seek medical care.Pain can represent a defense against potential or real damage to the body, but chronic pain becomes a disease itself, with a profound negative impact on quality of life. Paracetamol is a drug with analgesic and antipyretic action widely used both alone and in combination with other medications. It is an effective and safe drug, and can be used in infants and elderly, in patients in whom NSAIDs are contraindicated, in pregnant or breastfeeding women. A large number of studies have recognized the efficacy and safety of paracetamol in treating pain, and the drug is included in the WHO’s List of Essential Medicines. EULAR, AAOS and NICE guidelines recommend paracetamol as the first-choice analgesic in several condi- tions like osteoarthritis or post-surgical pain.
Conclusions: Paracetamol, due to its efficacy, safety of use, poor interaction with other drugs, appears to be the first- choice treatment of painful syndromes in the elderly patient.

Entrepreneurial Strategies for Managing Disruptive Innovations
Authors: Nwoye Obi James
Published: April 2023

Contemporary studies on disruptive innovations have identified entrepreneurship as veritable driver of the disruptive phenomenon. Disruptive innovation describes a new product or service that is so innovative that it disrupts the existing market and forces businesses in that market to devise new strategies for managing their business to avoid suffering huge losses and possibly going out of business. This paper integrates recent developments from entrepreneurship and innovation research streams to better understand the conditions and causal mechanisms that influence disruptive innovations. The rise and fall of firms especially in high technology industries under the dynamic effect of disruptive innovations have been a theme of inquiry that has fascinated many scholars in economics, technology and change management disciplines. This conceptual paper carried out a diagnostic review of disruptive innovations and found that disruption of existing market creates new phenomenon that ultimately delivers new value to consumers and the society. The study therefore recommended that organizations operating in today’s digital dispensation should not fear disruptive innovations but rather embrace them and devise strategies for managing the disruptions to enhance their business bottom-line.
Developing A Sustainable Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) Model by Integrating EESG (Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance) Performance Indicators for Private Hospitals in Egypt
Authors: Gohary A.Mohsen Mona
Published: April 2023

This study constructs a model for Sustainable Balanced Scorecard (SBSC) by identifying the critical indicators from eight perspectives (Finance, Internal Business Process, Customer/Patient, Learning and Growth, Economic, Environmental, Social, and Governance). Moreover, in this study, a structural evaluation approach is presented to link the important SBSC indicators to a strategy map for private hospitals in Egypt. The most important metrics for measuring hospital performance are compiled from relevant literature and evaluated by a panel of experts in accordance with the eight SBSC perspectives. Then, using the DEMATEL (Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) approach, a tool to analyze multiple criteria, the study ascertains the causal connections among the indicators, pinpoints the crucial core and deciding factors, and creates a visual strategy map with logical connections to boost hospital performance. To assess sustainable performance of private hospitals, 49 metrics were chosen based on the perspectives of the SBSC. Also, the study reveals that ‘‘Governance Control Activities’’, ‘‘Governance Financial Activities’’, ‘‘Non-compliance with laws and regulations’’, “Return on Investment”, “% of Revenue from repeat business “, “Net Promoter Score (NPS)”, and “Patient Complaints”, are the most essential evaluation indicators for private hospitals’ performance. The strategy map results demonstrate a clear road map to assist hospital leaders in ranking performance metrics and focusing on strategy-related actions for the essential indicators, where they could more effectively direct their limited resources toward areas that need the most improvement.
The Relationship of Idiosyncratic Deals and Creative Self-Efficacy in Contemporary Organizations to Improve Employee Creativity
Authors: Akbar Muhammad Imad-Ud-Din , Chaudhary Maham , Riaz Majid , Hussain Mian Aziz , Nawaz Muhammad
Published: April 2023

Idiosyncratic deals (i-deals) are becoming more popular as a way to hire, keep, and motivate employees. For those whose careers depend on their creative abilities, this is extremely important. Using the social cognitive theory's emphasis on the role of creative self-efficacy (CSE) as a mediator, we examined the relationship between the two main types of i-deals (developmental and flexible) and employee creativity. A total of 201 full-time workers from a variety of companies provided us with data to support our hypotheses about the relationship between innovative business deals and professional growth. Our research shows that CSE acts as a mediator between i-deals and creativity. These findings demonstrate the positive impact I-deals have on employee motivation and indicate other applications of I-deals for fostering creative thinking. A novel approach to a business called i-deals is the focus of this research.

Investigation of Impact Performance of STF Impragnated Composites
Authors: ZEKA Murat Berkay , AYTAÇ Ayhan
Published: April 2023

It is important to achieve high strength, high modulus of elasticity, good energy damping for lightweight armor materials. For this purpose, two or more similar or different materials are combined at the macro level. In this way, a new structure emerges that we call composite material. A composite is a new structure in which the good properties of the components in its structure become evident in the material. Research on the production and mechanical properties of composites that meet the needs of the developing technology continues. Military personnel, armored vehicles and many security elements are tested in the field with a lot of threats (such as mines, armor piercing ammunition, explosives etc.). Therefore, the armor used by security elements should be strengthened without compromising features such as lightness, cost and long-term use. This study covers the development of Kevlar's ballistic properties by impregnating Shear Thickening Fluid (STF). STF is composed of silica (AEROSIL 200) and polyethylene glycol (PEG 400). STF-impregnated Kevlar fibers have been subjected to impact testing at low and high speeds. Low-speed tests were carried out with a drop tower. High-speed tests were carried out according to NIJ 0101.06 Level II standards. The mass fraction of silica in the STF was determined as the research parameter. The change in the behavior of the materials with the change of silica ratio was investigated; Although improvements were observed in energy dissipation in low-speed impacts, it was noted that ballistic behavior improved up to a certain point, and then the improvement in behavior decreased.
Modified Residual Property Model For Fracture Mechanics
Authors: SARACOGLU Goksel
Published: April 2023

In this paper, the application requirement of the Residual Property Model based on the decrescent exponential function is reduced to only one mechanical test data. For this, by using Creager and Paris's elastic stress field equation in front of the blunt elliptical hole, the theoretical radius was chosen for the tip curvative and the maximum stress in the load direction at the tip is ensured to be equal the fracture toughness. Thus, the workload of the model is reduced by making the u exponent in the e-u function dependent on the geometric correction factor and the crack length. It was applied to the laminated composite specimens with three-point bending and the specimens including circular hole, and critical fracture stress values close to actual values were achieved.

The Legal Framework for Skilled Labour Migration to China
Authors: Richter Eva Lena
Published: April 2023

This book answers the question of whether the People’s Republic of China has established a skilled immigration system with tiered rights to increase skilled labour immigration. Political discourses talk about China becoming a global talent magnet. The findings suggest that the current skilled immigration system allocates migrant statuses based on skill only in areas of administrative law. Reforms of the Chinese skilled immigration system have not changed court practice. The political discourses around global talent are efforts to propagate China as a knowledge superpower. Still, fundamental problems within the legal system that make labour immigration to China unattractive persist.
Die Erschießung des Separatistenführers Heinz-Orbis als Akt der Staatsnothilfe?
Authors: Balz Sabrina
Published: April 2023

This legal-historical work deals with the development of emergency aid in favor of the state from 1848 to the present day, with a special focus on the Weimar Republic. The central question is whether the shooting of the separatist leader Franz Joseph Heinz in 1924 was justified by emergency aid in favor of the state. In this context, an overview of separatism in the Palatinate in 1923/1924 is given. Charges were never brought against the perpetrators, so that a legal analysis can only be made in retrospect. At the end of the dissertation, the question remains whether emergency aid in favor of the state has lost its raison d'être in modern times.

Background: Anemia is more common in cardiac surgery patients than in other people. Severe anemia before cardiac surgery strongly predicts blood transfusion. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of Intravenous (IV) iron and erythropoietin (EPO) injection preoperatively in anemic patients waiting for coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed between May to December 2020 at Masih Daneshvari hospital in Tehran, Iran. Anemia was described according to the WHO definition (Hb < 130 g/L in men). The study was designed in two groups of men CABG patients. Hematocrit level, platelet count, partial thromboplastin time, international normalized ratio, prothrombin time before surgery, red blood cells (RBCs) transfusion, as well as plasma and platelet units’ transfusion during surgery and at the time of hospitalization were obtained from patient’s files. The length of stay in the hospital and the consequences, including infection, stroke and heart attack, and mortality, were also obtained from the patient's files and recorded in the checklists. Pearson’s chi-squared test, Fisher’s exact test, independent samples t-test, univariate logistic regression, and odds ratio (OR) were used. All statistical analyses were performed by the SPSS software version 21. The significance level in this study was considered 0.05. Results: In this study, the data of 64 patients were gathered, among whom 16 (25%) were injected with IV iron and EPO, and the remaining 48 (75%) did not receive any medications for stimulating erythropoiesis. The mean age of patients was 64.05 ± 8.21 years, with an age range of 51 - 91 years. Infection (P = 0.258) and mortality rate (P = 0.440) in the two groups of injection and non-injection did not show a statistically significant difference. The duration of the clamp at the time of surgery (r = 0.699, P = 0.001) and the duration of hospitalization (r = 0.399, P = 0.023) had statistically significant positive relationships with the pump duration. Red blood cell consumption in the injection and non-injection groups was 2.50 ± 2.07 and 2.90 ± 1.80 (P = 0.469), respectively. Conclusions: Infection (P = 0.258), mortality rate (P = 0.440), and RBC utilization (P = 0.469) in the two groups of injection and non-injection were not significantly different.
Romantic myths and cyber dating violence victimization in Spanish adolescents: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Cava María-Jesús , Castillo Isabel , Tomás Inés , Buelga Sofía
Published: April 2023

Adolescents’ beliefs in romantic myths of love have been related to cyber dating violence victimization. However, these relationships could be mediated by adolescents’ tolerant attitudes toward dating abuse and be different for adolescent boys and girls. A better understanding of these relationships is important for developing more effective prevention programs. Thus, the current study aimed to examine the relationships between beliefs in romantic myths and cyber dating violence victimization in adolescents, analyzing the possible mediating role of tolerant attitudes toward abuse and the possible moderator role of gender. Participants were 467 Spanish adolescents who had a romantic relationship (54.4% girls; Mage = 15.09). Results showed positive significant direct and indirect relationships, through tolerant attitudes toward abuse, between beliefs in romantic myths and cyber dating violence victimization. Gender was not a moderator variable in the direct relationships, but its moderator role was supported in the indirect relationships. Stronger positive links between romantic myths and tolerant attitudes toward abuse, and between tolerant attitudes and cyber-control victimization, were found in adolescent girls. These findings highlight the need to consider tolerant attitudes toward abuse in intervention programs designed to prevent cyber dating violence victimization in adolescents and continue to analyze gender differences in variables related to cyber dating violence victimization.
Culturas energéticas: proyecto de concienciación sobre el uso eficiente de la energía en los hogares

Culturas Energéticas es un proyecto de concienciación sobre el uso eficiente

de la energía en los hogares orientado a codiseñar procesos de mejora energética

en edificios residenciales. El propio proceso de aprendizaje abre también

una puerta a la cohesión de las comunidades y el fortalecimiento de la cooperación

entre todas las personas que utilizan los edificios.

La necesidad de un proceso transformador en nuestra sociedad para mitigar

y adaptarse a los efectos del cambio climático implica la adopción de

soluciones que den respuesta a las diferentes facetas de nuestra realidad de

manera integrada. Si bien, las propuestas para reducir el uso de energía en

los edificios se han enfocado tradicionalmente a los aspectos físicos, tecnológicos

o económicos del medio construido, más recientemente, las diferentes

directivas europeas relativas a la eficiencia energética de los edificios sostienen

que la reducción del consumo de energía está afectada no sólo por cómo los

edificios están diseñados y construidos sino también por cómo están gestionados

y utilizados.

Desde esta perspectiva, el modelo teórico utilizado para el desarrollo de la

definición, el contenido y las herramientas del proyecto, emplea el marco

conceptual de Culturas Energéticas diseñado por un equipo multidisciplinar

de investigadores de distintos ámbitos como física, economía, derecho, psicología

y sociología.

Energy Cultures is an awareness project on the efficient use of energy in homes aimed at co-designing energy improvement processes in residential buildings. The learning process itself also opens a door to the cohesion of the communities and the strengthening of cooperation between all the people who use the buildings. The need for a transformative process in our society to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change implies the adoption of solutions that respond to the different facets of our reality in an integrated way. Although proposals to reduce the use of energy in buildings have traditionally focused on the physical, technological or economic aspects of the built environment, more recently, the different European directives regarding the energy efficiency of buildings maintain that the reduction of Energy consumption is affected not only by how buildings are designed and built but also by how they are managed and used. From this perspective, the theoretical model used for the development of the definition, content and tools of the project, uses the conceptual framework of Energy Cultures designed by a multidisciplinary team of researchers from different fields such as physics, economics, law, psychology and sociology
La arquitectura en la imagen de la ciudad: sobre mojones y monumentos
Authors: Espinosa Marcelo
Published: April 2023

El presente artículo plantea un análisis comparativo entre dos de los textos más importantes de la arquitectura del siglo XX, La Arquitectura de la Ciudad de Aldo Rossi y La Imagen de la Ciudad de Kevin Lynch, el trasfondo de dicha comparación va más allá de la relación manifiesta entre arquitectura y ciudad, se focaliza en la elección de las categorías - Mojón y Monumento como elementos particulares a analizar, para esto el ensayo se plantea un problema específico, las convergencias y distancias entre ambas interpretaciones de la potencia de la arquitectura en la construcción, vida y vivencia de la ciudad. En el caso de Rossi es la arquitectura el objeto por medio del cual se puede afrontar el problema de la ciudad, en tanto Lynch asume que no es la arquitectura sino la ciudad el medio por el cual se resuelven los problemas de la sociedad. Para esto se contextualizan ambas obras y se precisa la identificación de los métodos y conceptos que las organizan, para establecer parámetros objetivos y una correcta caracterización de los elementos a comparar.

This article presents a comparative analysis between two of the most important essays of the twentieth century architecture, The Architecture Of The City of Aldo Rossi and The Image Of The City of Kevin Lynch, the background of this comparison goes beyond the undeniable relationship between architecture and city, focusing on the selection of categories -Landmark and Monument- as particular elements to be analyzed. This essay is approached through a specific problem, the confluences and distances between both interpretations of the power of architecture in the construction, life and experience of the city. In the case of Rossi, architecture is the object through which the problem of the city can be addressed, while Lynch assumes that it is not architecture but the city that is the means by which societal problems are solved. For this, both papers are contextualized, and the identification of methods and concepts that organize them is required to establish objective parameters and a correct description of the compared elements.

Context.—

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors/adenomas are common intracranial tumors that require accurate subtyping because each tumor differs in its biologic behavior and response to treatment. Pituitary-specific transcription factors allow for improved lineage identification and diagnosis of newly introduced variants.

Objective.—

To assess the usefulness of transcription factors and design a limited panel of immunostains for classification of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors/adenoma.

Design.—

A total of 356 tumors were classified as per expression of pituitary hormones and transcription factors T-box family member TBX19 (TPIT), pituitary-specific POU-class homeodomain (PIT1), and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1). The resultant classification was correlated with patients’ clinical and biochemical features. The performance and relevance of individual immunostains were analyzed.

Results.—

Reclassification of 34.8% (124 of 356) of pituitary neuroendocrine tumors/adenoma was done after application of transcription factors. The highest agreement with final diagnosis was seen using a combination of hormone and transcription factors. SF-1 had higher sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value compared with follicle-stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone. On the other hand, TPIT and PIT1 had similar performance and Allred scores compared with their respective hormones.

Conclusions.—

SF-1 and PIT1 should be included in the routine panel for guiding the classification. PIT1 positivity needs to be followed by hormone immunohistochemistry, especially in nonfunctional cases. TPIT and adrenocorticotropin can be used interchangeably as per availability of the lab.
