A 4-hour Profile of 17-hydroxyprogesterone in Salt-wasting Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: Is the Serial Monitoring Strategy Worth the Effort?

JCRPE, 2022
INTRODUCTION: Objective: Since there is no gold standard laboratory variable for adjustment of treatment in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), the aim was to assess the use of a 4-hour profile of serum 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) to determine the ...

Sex Hormones Associate With Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Risk and Survival

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) risk differs by sex and age, implicating sex hormones as potential modifiers. This study examined plasma levels of biologically active sex hormones and their association with ALS odds and survival in cases (females n = 131, males n = 189) and controls (females n = 138, males n = 150) from the University of ...

Adrenocorticotropic Action of Antidiuretic Hormone [PDF]

Circulation, 1960
By means of direct arterial perfusion of the adrenal glands of the hypophysectomized dog, it has been shown that synthetic lysine, arginine and acetyl arginine vasopressins stimulate the adrenal cortex directly to secrete hydrocortisone. Pressor activity and cortisol-stimulating activity were demonstrated to be independent of each other.

Recent Updates on the Diagnosis and Management of Cushing's Syndrome [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018
Cushing's syndrome, a potentially lethal disorder characterized by endogenous hypercortisolism, may be difficult to recognize, especially when it is mild and the presenting features are common in the general population.

Identification of Compound Heterozygous CYP11A1 Variants via Reanalysis of Clinical Sequencing Data

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A molecular diagnosis is currently achievable in approximately 50% of patients assessed by clinical geneticists at tertiary care centres. Next‐Generation Sequencing Panels contain a defined group of genes associated with a clinically defined set of phenotypes.

Ectopic Adrenocorticotropic Hormone–Secreting Metastatic Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Initially Presenting as Gastrinoma: A Case Report

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (pNETs) account for 1% to 2% of all pancreatic malignancies; approximately one-third are associated with hormone secretion which can result in a range of symptoms. It is rare for pNETs to transform from secreting one type

An Atraumatic Symphysiolysis with a Unilateral Injured Sacroiliac Joint in a Patient with Cushing’s Disease: A Loss of Pelvic Stability Related to Ligamentous Insufficiency?

Case Reports in Orthopedics, 2016
Glucocorticoids are well known for altering bone structure and elevating fracture risk. Nevertheless, there are very few reports on pelvic ring fractures, compared to other bones, especially with a predominantly ligamentous insufficiency, resulting in a ...

The Pathway to Proof‐of‐Concept for BNC210, a Negative Allosteric Modulator of the Alpha‐7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor (nAChR), for Treatment of Psychiatric Disease

Clinical Pharmacology in Drug Development, EarlyView.
Abstract BNC210 is an investigational small molecule selective negative allosteric modulator of the alpha‐7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7 nAChR). It is an anxiolytic compound with a novel mechanism of action. In a series of Phase 1 clinical trials in healthy volunteers, psychometric test batteries showed that BNC210 did not cause attention ...

Adrenocorticotropic Hormone-Secreting Pheochromocytoma.

Internal Medicine, 1998
A 41-year-old female had pheochromocytoma which secreted adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH). She was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and excessive sweating. Not only urinary metanephrine but also plasma ACTH was extremely high. An abdominal echogram showed a cystic tumor in the left adrenal gland. An abdominal magnetic resonance imaging
