An alternate translation initiation site circumvents an amino-terminal DAX1 nonsense mutation leading to a mild form of X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita [PDF]

, 2003
Mutations in DAX1 [dosage-sensitive sex reversal-adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) critical region on the X chromosome gene 1; NROB1] cause X-linked AHC, a disease characterized by primary adrenal failure in infancy or childhood and reproductive ...

Adrenal hemorrhage due to hypercoagulable state mimicking pheochromocytoma

Journal of Clinical and Translational Endocrinology Case Reports, 2018
Adrenal insufficiency due to hemorrhagic adrenal infarction is a rare complication of hypercoagulable states. It usually manifests as bilateral adrenal hemorrhage with primary adrenal insufficiency. Here we report a 56-year-old male with known history of

Late diagnosis of primary chronic adrenal insufficiency in the framework of autoimmune polyglandular syndrome type 2. Clinical observation

Лечащий Врач, 2023
Chronic adrenal insufficiency is caused by insufficient secretion of hormones by the adrenal cortex due to dysfunction of one or more links of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system.

European multicentre study on outcome of surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism

BJS (British Journal of Surgery), EarlyView., 2020
Some 5861 patients undergoing first‐time surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism were registered in the Eurocrine® database between 2015 and 2018. The use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone measurement decreased the risk of conversion and persistent hypercalcaemia.

Factors predicting the duration of adrenal insufficiency in patients successfully treated for Cushing disease and nonmalignant primary adrenal Cushing syndrome

, 2017
Successful treatment of Cushing syndrome causes transient or permanent adrenal insufficiency deriving from endogenous hypercortisolism-induced hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal–axis suppression.

Studies on adrenal insufficiency.

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1925
Duration of survival of pregnant dogs after adrenalectomy.—The period of survival has been seen to be greatly increased in pregnancy. Two examples will be given: one in which the second adrenal was removed soon (probably no more than a week) after impregnation, and another in which gestation was from half to two-thirds over when the second ...

Adrenal insufficiency in phytosterolaemia [PDF]

European Journal of Endocrinology, 2007
Background: Phytosterolaemia (sitosterolaemia) is a rare autosomal recessive condition caused by mutations on the ABCG5 and ABCG8 gut transporter proteins. This leads to accumulation of plant-derived cholesterol-like molecules in blood and tissues.Case: We describe a family of Bangladesh origin, where three siblings (two males and one female) have ...

Sex-disease dimorphism underpins enhanced motion sickness susceptibility in primary adrenal insufficiency: a cross-sectional observational study.

, 2023
Environmental motion can induce physiological stress and trigger motion sickness. In these situations, lower-than-normal levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) have been linked with increased susceptibility to motion sickness in healthy individuals.
