Sep 18th, 2020 - Previous studies have shown inconsistent results about the usefulness of bilateral inferior petrosal sinus sampling (BIPSS) in differential diagnosis of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH)-dependent Cushing syndrome. This meta-analysis evaluated th...

Sep 14th, 2020 - Endogenous Cushing syndrome (CS) can be caused by ectopic corticotropin-producing tumors of known (EK) and unknown origin (EU). Bilateral adrenalectomy (BA) can be used as definite treatment of hypercortisolism in such cases. This study compared p...

Sep 8th, 2020 - Protein kinase A (PKA) subunit defects (in PRKAR1A and PRKACA) are known to contribute to adrenal tumor pathogenesis. We studied the PRKAR1B gene for any genetic changes in bilateral adrenocortical hyperplasia (BAH) and cortisol-producing adrenal ...

Aug 25th, 2020 - DNA methylation has been identified among putative regulatory mechanisms for CYP11B2 expression in primary aldosteronism. To investigate DNA methylation and expression of genes encoding steroidogenic enzymes in benign adrenocortical tumors. Cross-...

Aug 20th, 2020 - The human corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) test (hCRHtest) is used to differentiate Cushing disease (CD) from ectopic adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) secretion (EAS), to assess autonomous cortisol secretion by the adrenal glands, and to characteri...

Jul 31st, 2019 - Hirsutism is the excessive growth of terminal hair in a typical male pattern in a female. It is often a sign of excessive androgen levels. Although many conditions can lead to hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome and idiopathic hyperandrogenism ac...

Jul 31st, 2015 - Treatment of Cushing's syndrome is essential to reduce mortality and associated comorbidities. Effective treatment includes the normalization of cortisol levels or action.

Mar 1st, 2017 - Diagnosing Cushing syndrome (CS) can take 24 hours of complicated and repeated analyses of blood and urine, brain imaging, and tissue samples from sinuses. But that may soon be in the past.

Nov 1st, 2012 - Q: What is the treatment and follow-up? Here is a quick reference guide regarding surgical treatment and medical follow-up and surveillance: • Adrenalectomy (pheochromocytoma, APA, Cushing syndrome): for masses 4 to 6 cm, consider surgery, especia.

Nov 1st, 2011 - Glucocorticoids are commonly prescribed by primary care physicians and specialists alike for multiple medical problems, acute as well as chronic. However, these useful drugs have adverse effects on multiple endocrine systems, effects that include.

ABSTRACTAdrenal masses that are found incidentally should be evaluated with both imaging and hormonal studies. The attenuation coefficient on noncontrast computed tomography (CT), expressed in Hounsfield units (HU), is better than tumor size in di.
