Welcome. Modern neuroscience is sparking a revolution-it has shown us that we have more personal control over the behaviour of our brains than we ever thought possible. We can change attitudes, beliefs, emotional states, and behaviour; all by using the power of neuroplasticity.
Angiomyolipoma of the kidney is a neoplasm composed of variable amounts of mature adipose tissue, smooth muscle, and thick-walled blood vessels derived from perivascular epithelioid cells (1â3). Its prevalence in the general hospital population has been reported to be 0.13% in Japan (4).
What causes acromegaly? Overproduction of growth hormone (GH) by the pituitary gland over a long period of time causes acromegaly. There are several reasons for overproduction of GH.
