Jul 12th, 2022 - Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (mACS) is a state of cortisol excess usually associated with existence of adrenal incidentaloma. Because of the lack of symptoms of the disease, the biochemical evaluation is the most important to determine a dia...

Jun 26th, 2022 - To compare the evolution of the cardiometabolic parameters in patients with nonfunctioning adrenal incidentalomas (NFAI) and autonomous cortisol secretion (ACS) who underwent adrenalectomy and those who were conservatively managed. A retrospective...

Jun 23rd, 2022 - Cushing's syndrome (CS) is a rare and serious disease with high mortality. Patients are often diagnosed late in the course of the disease. Whether defined patient populations should be screened outside the at risk populations defined in current gu...

Jun 15th, 2022 - With the development of imaging detection technology and its wide application in clinic, the detection rate of adrenal incidentaloma (AI) has been greatly improved. Most AI are benign and do not have the function of autonomic hormone secretion, bu...

May 10th, 2022 - The association between cortisol secretion and mortality in patients with adrenal incidentalomas is controversial. We aimed to assess all-cause mortality, prevalence of comorbidities, and occurrence of cardiovascular events in uniformly stratified...

Jul 9th, 2016 - : By definition, an adrenal incidentaloma is an asymptomatic adrenal mass detected on imaging not performed for suspected adrenal disease. In most cases, adrenal incidentalomas are nonfunctioning adrenocortical adenomas, but may also represent con...

Jun 15th, 2022 - With the development of imaging detection technology and its wide application in clinic, the detection rate of adrenal incidentaloma (AI) has been greatly improved. Most AI are benign and do not have the function of autonomic hormone secretion, bu...

May 2nd, 2022 - Glucocorticoids, mainly cortisol, play a crucial role in the allostatic process of adjustment to stressors and can determine important changes in central nervous system structures. It is well known that Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with n...

Apr 15th, 2022 - In the past few years, with the widespread use of chest and abdominal imaging, the prevalence of adrenal incidentaloma (AIs) has been increasing and now approaches the 8.7% incidence reported in autopsy series. subclinical hypercortisolism (SH) is...

Mar 18th, 2020 - The investigators will recruit 150 patients annually for 10 years (adrenal incidentaloma 100 patients, pheochromocytoma 15 patients, primary aldosteronism 25 patients, adrenal cushing syndrome 10 patients, adrenocortical carcinoma 2 patients) and ...

Apr 4th, 2019 - Objective: To determine the metabolic effects of the adrenalectomy in subclinical Cushing's syndrome of adrenal incidentaloma. Methods: 234 subclinical cushing syndrome and adrenal incidentaloma will be randomly assigned into two groups(e.g adrena...

Dec 15th, 2021 - Pheochromocytoma is a rare catecholamine-secreting tumor of chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla or sympathetic ganglia, occurring in about 0. 2 to 0.

May 24th, 2021 - Mortality is two to three times higher in patients with adrenal incidentalomas who have autonomous cortisol secretion levels of 83 nmol/L (3 µg/dL) or more after a 1 mg dexamethasone suppression test (DST) compared with those with levels below thi...

Nov 1st, 2012 - Maggie, 42, presents to the emergency department with chronic intermittent abdominal pain and bloating with constipation and occasional diarrhea. She denies fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, melana, bright red blood per rectum, or changes in stool.
