Endocrine Pathology, 1993
The adrenal gland has been known to be a common site of opportunistic infections and tumors that define the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) ever since the first autopsy data were published. We have examined the adrenal glands of 66 AIDS patients autopsied in New York City and tabulated and graded the findings in an attempt to estimate the ...

BackgroundLeptin is involved in the maintenance of energy balance acting on food intake, thermogenesis and energy expenditure. Via its receptor in the hypothalamus, leptin modulates the functioning of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and the systemic sympathetic/adrenomedullary system, which are closely linked to the regulation of energy balance

Myelolipoma of the Adrenal Gland
Scottish Medical Journal, 1971Myelolipomas are uncommon lesions of the adrenal gland. Four cases are presented which were found at post-mortem examination and in biopsies received during the last 12 years in the Pathology Departments of the Western General Hospital and of the University of Edinburgh.

The adrenal gland synthesizes steroid hormones from the adrenal cortex and catecholamines from the adrenal medulla. Both cortisol and adrenal androgens can have powerful effects on bone. The overproduction of cortisol in Cushing's disease leads to a dramatic reduction in bone density and an increase risk of fracture. Overproduction of adrenal androgens

Nursing Clinics of North America, 1996
The reader should have a better working knowledge of several rare adrenal diseases after reading this article. Although they are rare, these adrenal diseases may be seen in many nursing settings. Astute nursing assessment and monitoring of signs and symptoms of these diseases are essential during diagnosis and treatment.

Magnetic resonance (MR) examination of the kidneys and adrenal glands is rendered difficult by artifacts due to respiratory motion and the proximity of the abdominal vessels. On the other hand, the kidneys are the most important organs for maintaining homeostasis in the human body; consequently, the diagnosis of renal diseases must cover not only ...

Myelolipoma of the Adrenal Gland
Urologia Internationalis, 2010We report 2 cases of large adrenal myelolipoma. Although their fatty nature was found by a CT scan and there was no endocrine activity, surgery was done because of their size and the caused discomfort.

The role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the evaluation of renal pathologies is becoming increasingly important. MR imaging is now con-sidered a modality complementary to computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US). Using up-to-date equipment, it is possible to obtain high-quality images of the kidneys and perirenal spaces; MR imaging provides ...

Current Urology Reports, 2001
The features of modern medicine consist of minimal invasiveness and promoting the quality of life. The Niigata University Urological group in Japan performed the first successful laparoscopic removal of the adrenal tumor in 1992 [1]. That success was quickly followed by the Tokyo [2], Hamamatsu [3], Kyoto [4], and Kitazato [5] groups, all of which were

The adrenal gland in pregnancy
The Irish Journal of Medical Science, 1956(1) The physiology of the adrenal gland is briefly outlined, with special reference to pregnancy. (2) The clinical picture of acute adrenal insufficiency in pregnancy is described. (3) The hypothesis is put forward that fatalities from eclampsia, previously attributed to cardiac failure, are, in fact, due to adrenal ...
